- Billy Strings playing an acoustic version of Wild Bill Jones. This was yanked from some interview and cropped/upscaled so you can see what he's playing better if you're trying to learn these songs.
Tony Rice and Doc Watson are listening to this in their eternity from that great place in the sky.
I love these emotional bluegrass tunes. I've never heard them before but they sound so lonesome, and natural and beautiful. Our music today is so sterile...
He finds these lost chords way up on the top shelf, where momma hides the cookies. Just beyond words.
I’ve not seen a better guitar man than Billy in a long time. Long long time.
I am glad he is getting the recognition he deserves. He is right up there in the pantheon of guitar pickers. Every few years we get a new one to replace an old one who passed on. May it ever be so.
🙌
🤠🤞🙌🙏🙏
Dudes a badass
You're a legend!
Another masterclass from The Dude.
Every fill choice and flourish is just fantastic. Man if he isn't SRV come back to life as a bluegrass man.
Bravo Billy, j'adore !!! Quel feeling !!!
I will never get enough of you Apostol
love your music brother
Awesome job
Thanks for these uploads!
Love seeing you play up in the hills, it’s very fitting!

Every song I've heard him do is instantly my favorite version of the song. Then I pick up my guitar dead set on recreating it and I discover that I'm literally trash on the guitar and vocals
Thanx fer this post
Where is his tattoos?
Hmm right
Maybe these are old videos just recently uploaded?
Younger man here.
In the laundry…
It’s an imposter 😡
What tuning is he using here? I've become a total Billy Strings addict in the last three years. Come to VA!!
Drop d sounds like
@@zachd5242 thanks, sounded like an open tuning to me. And obviously capo'd way up. Its fantastic - but so is everything he does, right?
@@hbwhitmore878 would agree man I’m a huge billy fan love seeing these videos of just him and his guitar so I can study his technique even better I really enjoy playing this style
It's drop d
Double drop D, DADGBD.
Billy is a one man band.
1:52 LOL!
Is there anywhere I could get the tabs to his songs in a guitar book? I would be eternally grateful if someone who is a fan and a picker who has seen these songs catalogued for sale? Also if you could recommend the best known bluegrass guitar books?
Lessons with Marcel has a lot of tabs on his website that he has made of Billy's songs. Lots of others, too.

What's the tuning??
I'd assume drop D, but he's playing in the key of G
Double drop D the hi E and the low E are both drop to D
My Alice
I much prefer this version to The Kingston Trio's. The other is too slick and not so convincing.
That is drop d.
Looks like double dropped D. Or actually, double dropped F, in real pitch, the capo being at the 3rd fret. The high "E" string is also being played open. Really dark sounding. Genius picking.

love it... from the ghosted man. google please unghost me
I know He has been playing and singing since he was little with his dad Terry Barber which is no slouch and can play. What we don’t know who is Billy’s biological dad is. I don’t know if his talent is from God given ability, taught or what, but for me to see him flat pick the stuff he plays means only one thing. He had to, he must have, sold his soul to the devil to play and sing the way he does.
God did it.✌️
Man way to give credit to two separate made-up spiritual entities instead of just recognizing this dude practiced and practiced to get as good as he is.
@@josephkrafczynski774 believe in whatever you want, but don’t come on a thread I am talking about God and start with your atheist bullshit. I don’t want to hear your bullshit, if you don’t believe in God that’s your problem not mine. I bet if you asked Billy he would give thanks to God for giving him such an awesome ability. I understand he practiced to get to where he is at, but God gave him the passion and aptitude to play to begin with. Get out of here with that horse shit God doesn’t exist.
That’s when miles, determination and the human spirit combine into what we call “talent”
He mentions in an interview that he gives all the credit to his Stepfather for teaching him guitar. His biological father died of a heroin overdose when Billy was only two years old.
