All metal guitarists need to learn this stuff in my opinion. Well actually all guitarists should learn as many different styles and techniques as possible in my opinion. Why else play if not to perfect? Any how ive been trying my hand at this. The picking is another level. See flat picking.
@@austyndrums1993 to loosely paraphrase Tony Rice, acoustic guitar technique is miles away from electric technique because volume is a skill with acoustic instruments. I don't think this would be super helpful learning material for electric players because it doesn't translate 1:1. For electric you play fast and clean by picking very lightly and with acoustic instruments you have to pick with some weight. I suspect this is why a lot of telecaster players and country guitarists in general sound plunky, because theyre using acoustic technique on electric instruments. They're arent many players i can think of who translate this well. I guess, jake workman, jake eddy, and andy wood? Though andy wood and billy strings have spent considerable parts of their careers building technique on electric guitars so i dont know if their technique is the same on both types. I think this subject would probably make an interesting in depth interview.
For sure man I feel like they all have been heavily influenced by Billy’s tight playing not to say that they aren’t incredible musicians to begin with, such a rare thing to have 4 people on the same exact page as to what they are doing
There's an interview of him saying he had an experience exactly like that when he tried meth. He said his fingers wouldn't stop for like two days straight or something in one sitting.
@@testtickles8755 who is green shirt guy. I've seen that video so many times the guy looks familiar to me now like a dude I went to high school with or worked with in the past
Wait so THIS is that same guy from that same home made video??? Damn, kid in the video was awesome, I just thought it was a random group of friends who wrote a genius little Diddy while partying it up! Mind blown!(pardon the pun?)
Hearing him play is one thing. Then he starts singing and it's straight out of a movie. Anyone listening knows it's just different. As soon as you hear it. Very special. Not of this Earth
I had the immense pleasure of hearing him play live late last year, in Manchester, England. I've seen a LOT of superstar musicians and Rock gods. Billy Strings' gig that night was the greatest gig I have ever witnessed. I've seen Clapton. I've seen Tommy Emmanuel. I've seen Jeff Beck. Albert Lee. Steve Cropper. SRV, Jimmie... countless fine guitarists. This kid can play!
Saw him in a bar in West Virginia in 2016 before he was big at all and I immediately knew I was experiencing greatness that one day the entire world would see. One of the best performance’s I’ve ever seen.
"Manchester, England, England! Across the Atlantic Sea!" 😂 You're lucky you caught him when you did. I've seen four shows and they were all in the 1 to 2,000 people size crowd and now he's playing before 10 to 20,000! The video of him playing with Don Julian in front of that Lake in 2014 popped into my feed yesterday and I watched the entire thing in disbelief about it at what a difference 10 years makes. But even then he was selling it so hard. What a performer!
@@mitchconner2021that’s bluegrass baby. Just like metal sounds the same, punk sounds the same, trap sounds the same. Hope you’re enjoying your first week with new ears, wish you the best.
It's so fucking amazing, he can get a religious experience and then pull out of of to preach. From musician to musician, this shit is special, no matter who's doing it. The way I see it, he just physically shows the part that's tapping into the great above.
I had the pleasure of seeing Billy strings in Philly a couple years ago that is one talented young man who puts on a great show and a phenomenal guitarist nothing but good vibes at the show
Fantastic! I remember being a kid and seeing Roy Clark play guitar on some TV variety show, he did a flamenco/ country/ rock improvisation jam that was out of this world and exploded my head.. i'd only seen him goofin off on " Hee Haw" before that.... Van Halen had just hit, Boston was destroying the radio air waves, Zeppelin was in charge, Rush was starting to happen, and here was ROY CLARK, DESTROYING on a guitar on national TV.. ill never forget it changed my whole concept of him as a player and country western players in general... PS the legendary Glenn Campbell was another INSANELY good guitarist that almost no one remembers cause he wasn't about it.. but damn he could make a guitar SING.
Yes… Roy Clark was one bad ass guitarist! He was on Hee Haw, a regular…. When I read your post it made me smile and laugh a little to myself… Hadn’t thought of Roy Clark in years, thanks!
my dad 88yrs old and asked if we heard of Billy strings!!! hell yeahhhhhhhhhhh! this guys totally talented so keep on playing we all love ur music, from Eau Claire Wi
Billy Strings: born 1992 in Lansing , Michigan, USA. He is a Grammy award winning guitarist. He specializes in bluegrass form guitar, he's also played alongside the remaining members of The Grateful Dead.
@@bassplayer10 even with a good setup it takes skill to pull off and to play it as clean as he did. And to do it standing up in front of a live audience.
@@Lotta-Boost yep. Similar. I don’t make the facial expressions. Not like those anyway. I’m mot dissing Strings. A fine player. Again, Not ridiculously hard. If you spend most of your time practicing . You do get better, that’s the point.
Every single Billy strings show you go to. You can expect top tier performance. Not a single note missed. He is a legend. Currently making history. To see a bluegrass artist fill multiple stadiums with varying age ranges. It’s just beautiful to see. When you are at one of his concerts it feels like no one cares about anything except for the music. He puts you in a trance and everything else goes out the window. His lyrics and melodies hit your heart and you feel at peace in a stadium filled with people that feel the exact same as you. It’s truly magical
Hell of a lot easier to learn chord structures and progressions than decipher tabs. Most music like this is basically coloring outside the lines of an arpeggio
you are talking about apples and oranges. if you are handy with chords, which one must be, tab is easy to learn although takes weeks or months of practice until you even remotely get it up to speed.
@@benjamin3290 LOL so your argument is if you have been engrossed in music for the last 20+ years than its easy to play by ear? And so nobody should use tabs?? I think you might not be the target audience for tabs.....
@@benjamin3290 Thanks mate. Am Australian, 77, been playing 5 string banjo [Deering] and and steel string guitar [Maton] since 16. Only had vinyl records to go on at first. Then the books started to come out [down under] with the tabs. I already knew the chords, but the tabs gave me a new life. Sorry I never learned music notation, but was a cop at 19 and too tired on time off to also learn notation. I regret it. And thanks for your reply.
I could barely keep up with my eyes. If i tried to play this song my hands would be like *wtf are you trying to do* and my brain would be like *.....404......*
I've been following this boy for a long time when he used to play with his dad and the other pro guys when he was a kid. He's learning alot of songs and licking on all of them them. I like the bass guy that was added (jazzy). All of the members were contest winners in musician stuff as children. They're all a beast on instruments.
Get the tab here: lessonswithmarcel.com/product/dust-in-a-baggie-billy-strings-grand-ole-opry/
Ain't nobody using these tabs hahah
speed metal country,,,
Yeah bruh thanks but I'm good 😂
Acoustic bluegrass type 'shredders' will always be on a whole different level to me. It's so god damned clean.
It’s so much hard to go fast on acoustic too especially on heavier strings because you have to press down harder

@@oldtimetinfoilhatwearerwhile what you said is true you gotta remember that metal stems from flat picking and blue grass
Kids should learn what awesome really means
Billy looks like he's listening to it for the first time lol
made me lol
Dude he's probably tripping balls 😅
Looks that way yet it's his song yet its stuck yet its crazy yet its composed someehow...what?
He is, that's improv for ya
@@crispy_nachos
He's just feeling it, he's like the Frank Zappa of Bluegrass.
His band is as tight as he is. His banjo, Mando, bass. Good heavens Tony Rice, Merle Travis , Doc Watson would be proud
For sure man I feel like they all have been heavily influenced by Billy’s tight playing not to say that they aren’t incredible musicians to begin with, such a rare thing to have 4 people on the same exact page as to what they are doing
Just some great cross picking there by Billy-- And yes, the whole band is great!!!!😊
I was reminded of ol Roy Clark. I think Billy is good! ❤
TRUTH!🙌🏼
This is precision, consistency, and being absolutely fucking locked in. What a master.
It's like he is sitting back and watching his fingers go to town
I bet he pretty much is. The amount of practice this man must have put in to get to this level is mind boggling
Cringe comment
@@karkkimarkkinat2109 why?? Thinking about Wer them fingers should be mate 😂😂

He totally looks like a meth head.. lol@@Banzo_
First time I ever heard of him when I saw him playing this in someone’s living room - any fool could see he had it.
Wondering if green shirt guy ever got to smoke that cigarette
@@bobgoudie he was just the dealer
@@bobgoudie I think he's still standing there slapping his leg admiring the fact that the carpet on the floor matches the carpet on the wall.

real authentic music
Yup no different than any of his solos! Dudes a shredda

What I love most about this solo is that it was perfect for the moment.
Haven't heard anyone this good since Roy Clark. He'd be proud.
Tony Rice
And Jerry Garcia
Now transcribe his facial expressions! They're as hard to copy as his playing
Ya just need to feel the music the way he does
It’s probably from whatever left the dust in that baggy
Lol,, he has a facial expression for each and every lick he plays
That's called "Stankface". Every guitar or Bass player gets it when they're in the groove.
@@thebluestig2654 lmao,,, ok. Im a guitar player and too but I dont make faces like that,, but maybe ive never really been in the zone
Billy is such a whole-ass experience. Doesn't miss.
flat picked the fuck out of that out of that !!!! love it
He snapped😂😂😂🔥👌🏾
This dude isn't even human! Just incredible!
Billy Strings is already so great. Has a long road of great music to go. Can't wait
Then why does he play the same song over and over again?
Don’t jinx it!!

So who else had to listen to this 6 times just to take it all in? Mercy what a phenomenal guitar player.
Glorious 🥰🎸🪕
Talk about a tease. More Billy !
speechless....
Billy String amazing
BEST guitar face Ever!!😂✌🍀
why isn't this guy more famous? He totally rocks.

Man, he is terrific.
That is the fastest I've seen billy play.. he really stepped it up for the Opry....a show fit for the shout out to her majesty
Protect Billy Strings at all costs
I love you Billy Strings!!! 🔥❣🔥
His facial expression’s look like even he’s impressed with his playing
autism

God this dude is so talented.
his dad is very talented as well. He definitely was born for this.

The sheer joy on their faces makes me want to learn bluegrass😊
Thank god for Billy Strings
All of those ancestors from the old country are smiling down...... He's amazing.
Hot damn! He nailed it so good!!! 🔥
The guy definitely understood the assignment 🤌🏻

Billy is the definition of a virtuoso in a category that’s never had one.
So you’ve never heard of Tony Rice? Brian Sutton? There are more, I just can’t think of their names right off the top of my head.
Billy’s universal vocals and songwriting are many moons beyond those legends.
Yeah cause he’s amazing.
Watch out for this boy, he's gonna crush it.
Modern day SRV.. but the flatpicking version. Absolutely incredible.

Talent!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Billy has such an amazing knowledge of bluegrass and old school country music. Young musicians like him make me excited to hear what the future holds.

You go boy!
How in the world can you remember all that and play it note for note time and time again. Genius!
He doesn't play it note for note. He improvises his breaks every time! Every bluegrass guitar player does that, except for especially iconic passages.
Legendary ❤
Billy has a special, special soul. God bless that man and his music
You can see the “don’t fuck up” in his face
I don't think they are going to have to worry about who's gonna fill their shoes! ❤❤❤
Ima learn this now thank you for the transcript
HOT DAMN! That fella can play!
would loooooove for you to do a full lesson on this version, working my way through the other great one that you did now. thanks alot
