The power he plays with is just incredible. Volume wise he can legitimately make an acoustic guitar hang with an electric guitar thru a 30 watt amp. It's insane how clean and loud he plays.
I TOTALLY HE SHOULD GIVE LESSONS MY GUITAR PLAYING HAS CHANGED SO MUCH OVER THE YEARS IM 50 NO AND IM GGETTIN PRETTY GOOD THIS GEY JUST HAS IT THJE IITT THING .. LUV BILLY STRINGS
This is one of the most talented young men I've ever heard. He absolutely owns that guitar and couldn't be any quicker of a picker. The first time I saw him, I thought to myself now if this guy can keep his liquor and drug use under control he's really going places. I'm wondering if he was born with a guitar in hand. If not then he had music in him since birth. He's definitely a winner.
Yes Ive researched this and have followed him as long as I can remember .Him and his father played together all the time when he was a youngster. I learned a lot from my Dad about Ham radio, but I'll never be the guy he was. He built his own radio from a kit in 63. Then he had free rain of Mather Air Force Bases surplus radio parts. He and I built him a Ham shack in the garage and he was able to talk to anyone around the world. But they call these smartphones and there no smarter than the person behind it.
@@AshevilleVintageGuitar Ive watched a lot of his videos and Ive never seen him even look wasted. It's just hope it stays that way. There's a lot of talent in this young man. I'd just hate to hear he had gotten into drugs.
@@heathkish6901 I had forgotten I had written that and reading the comment only, I thought "now here's a guy who understands"! Time for me to go to the retirement home...
BILLY YOUR TALENT is the biggest inspiration for all the world will become a better place by your talent. Thanks forever man see you in Iowa soon tear up the Uk 🇬🇧 brother.
The first time I heard this man I thought he was just a flash in the pan,…just a show off ,of sorts. It sure looks like I was wrong and “oh my!”, how he’s come along. It just shows how if you don't go wrong and keep your nose to the old grindstone,you just may be that someone,you always were,in your spirit form.Yep.I sure was wrong!Thank you Billy.You make me smile with new hope for this old street/folk singer. “With all the LOVE cooked in”(Slow Food by Greg Brown)
He is very clearly not just someone who picked up a guitar and wanted to start playing/writing music. He is Talented and Gifted (TAG) for sure. Quite a prodigy.
Always have to check to see if I've mistakenly sped up your videos, Billy. You're truly incredible, brother. I wish and pray for all things Good and great in your and your family's lives. This tune reminded me of my father playing me Mississippi John in the early 70's. Thank you! 😊❤

💕💕💕💕he is the MOST PRECIOUS thing with that short hair. Saw him front center in Wisconsin 2 weeks ago opening night. MAKE THE DRIVE TO ANOTHER STATE IF YA HAVE TO TO SEE HIM LIKE I DID. YA WONT REGRET it. No Illinois show this year. We got to see him at his last social distance show in Schaumburg Illinois last summer.
Love the way your Martin sounds, great song and talent you have, I’ve heard many songs from you and you are truly a great artist ✌️ I think I have the same guitar as you with the exception that it’s the cutaway version. Cheers
Ya gotta admire a man who gets tattoos to match his couch.
Oh man. Comments like this make my day…brilliant
good eye
Thanks for making me laugh out loud
Or a couch to match his tattoos.
And the table cloth too! I guess he likes a certain pattern
I just hope everyone realizes how good a guitar player he really is
What guitar is this?
@@Quistophaaa looks like a Martin Road series
Absolutely amazing
Dude is jamming with Bella fleck. Really,really good guitar player
Billy Strings has a kind of authenticity, it's hard to describe....but fun to watch....
The power he plays with is just incredible. Volume wise he can legitimately make an acoustic guitar hang with an electric guitar thru a 30 watt amp. It's insane how clean and loud he plays.
This guy is an absolute legend... incredible guitar playing... truly outstanding
I TOTALLY HE SHOULD GIVE LESSONS MY GUITAR PLAYING HAS CHANGED SO MUCH OVER THE YEARS IM 50 NO AND IM GGETTIN PRETTY GOOD THIS GEY JUST HAS IT THJE IITT THING .. LUV BILLY STRINGS
@@zzombiedeath YEAH MAN HE'S REALLY GREAT.
Best living guitar player
I've seen alot of pickers in my time. He's absolutely one of the best I've seen
Damn man, I've never seen someone play a guitar like that before. It's so awesome.
You gotta check out Doc Watson, a big influence.
Truly transcendent
Love you brother Born and raised on blue Grass your amazing
My favorite artist
I got a lot of billy strings work on my riding playlist. It makes my rides and life so much better. Dude is a lifesaver if he know's it or not.
What a coincidence, I was scrolling through your channel last night and thinking “I wish he’d upload more vids”!
It's all a simulation man...
No such thing as coincidence 🎶💨💨🤞
That boy can play!
Very gifted musician, hell of a guitarist and singer
Wish I could like it a thousand times 🤷🏼♂️
Legend in the making. These are the things on which a heart grows fuller. Well done young lad.
To your info, this is an old video. He actually is a grammy winner by now :)
Im always up and wonderful when i hear this man. Hes a special gift
has a similar ring to it as dust in a baggie, both are badass songs

He's Sober :-)

Well...it ain't nobody's business what he does.
Legit one of my top 20 guitarists ever.. this boy can pick a guitar like no one else.
His fills between measures is beautiful he looks effortless.
This is possibly the best written song and guitar playing ever made
I'm glad I gave this song a thumbs up BEFORE hearing it for the first time. Billy Strings never disappoints.
He's incredible.
He exemplifies the saying "Ain't no money above the 7th fret"! ;-)
Most underrated comment in the history of RUclips, well done!
@@heathkish6901 I had forgotten I had written that and reading the comment only, I thought "now here's a guy who understands"! Time for me to go to the retirement home...
Sheesh I got cramp in my eyes watching his fingers fly! Fantastic!
i listen to this almost every day at work. i wish he would play this now

The post says 6 days ago. Sounds so great for being back in the day.
Thank you for uploading this mate
Was Billy born with a guitar in his hand? OMGSH! Love this boy!
You can get said tattoos at front street in traverse city michigan:)
Most excellent. Thx from Sydney, Au.

New Couch, New History!
Glad you make your business our business these days. Been a while since I heard Doc play this one.
Hope he has a blast in Europe. Can't wait to see him again.
Great song well written women make your song writing hit home I felt this one in the chest sadly
He makes it look so easy.
Years of practice 😊
I used to like to hear Norman Blake play that one. Good job!
My new theme song! Thanks Billy!
I wish I could play like you Billy - excellent as usual!
Nice hearing your new stuff.
Bro is by the best guitar player ever live,I pray success doesn't take him down ,if you get me
Love Billy! Carrying the torch for sure. Been listening to Trey Hensley as well.
Ah man i thought it was gonna be Mississippi John Hurt but you indeed rocked the house with this one. Exquisite
Was hoping for Mississippi John Hurt but i'm not disappointed at all. Is this Billy's own version or something else?
Sitting up here in Ionia, Michigan, remembering him from "back when"...
Keepin Doc alive 😋👍
Absolutely amazing love this thanku so much love and God bless always x
So awesome
Can't wait to see what Billy and Les come up with🙌
You have done this song justice 😊 Billy Holliday is smiling down from heaven 😇
Absolutely gutted I was too late realising Billy was playing in London, praying he'll come back again in the future
I know someone who had extras, if you're interested let me know. You'll never forgive yourself if you miss the show, haha.
@@LowerStandards33 PLS
@@LowerStandards33 Could you please shove the next recommended video at the end "Rubeuns Train" up, so I can see his fingers?
Yes, that's a great tune. Respekt...
Great playing, great song.
What a fantastic John Hurt cover and twist
Top notch playing.
Anything short of amazing!!
