Billy is playing traditional Bluegrass to Sun Ra a legend in the jazz world back in the 50's! I am sure he took lessons from God! Having played almost every style of guitar. Hope the world understands the pure amazing talent we are witnessing! Plus his band are great!
Im sure God had nothing to do with it. Just a good Dad who showed him the way. And sweat equity, time spent on the road, and just working your tail off to be competent...
We got to see you in November of last year in Salt Lake. One of the best show's I've seen in 30 years. Looking forward to Red Butte coming up. You and your band kick much ass.
Saw you for the first time at Terminal West this weekend. What a show, best I ve been to in a while. Definitely have a new fan here. See ya in Aiken next month!
Music is exciting me again. THIS music. Thank you Billystrings! This vid...WOW, a NONSTOP 21+ min 💥. Haven't been this excited about music in a looong time and I'm 58. Talent overfloweth in them boys. Phew!
Pyramid Country- 0:03 While I’m Waitin’ Here-7:36 Little Maggie- 16:54 There is so much good stuff here! It’s amazing the experience these guys can provide in a 20 min 3 song set. The passion that Billy and the rest of them play with shines through in the sound. This version of Little Maggie is the best I’ve heard. There is so much I want to say about it, but it truly speaks for itself. CHILLS!!
The more I lisen ,the more I find that all the musician are great musicians they all deserve alot of credit.Even the bass player.we can't leave him out.
One of the best young guitar players in the world , with his just as awesome band. Billy Strings. Just killer. The new mando player puts them on another level.
with only 106 likes on this video it , is a sure sign that the world has not yet caught up with Billy,but he is comin' in on a freight train. I would call this psychedelic bluegrass and I like it!
The expressions on Billy's face seem to express the feeling of "WTF! I can't believe I'm playing that shit!" The guy is destined to be a game changer. Godspeed Billy.
Although anyone can really enjoy your groove, as a musician I am in awe of level of sophistication and complexity you bring to the stage. I have enjoyed Billy in anything Ive heard but the 4 of you together are a true pleasure and inspiration. I hope to hear you in person someday. Maybe a few gigs south of the border someday?
Really digging what you’re doing! Been three plus days (in my limited free time) obsessed listening to you on RUclips! Grateful to have stumbled onto you, chasing Molly Tuttle. PL&U
Gotta be honest ima first time blue grass listener. Wholly Billy you are special , as are the band. Can’t imagine how good they are to keep up with Billy’s talent going off on different tangents and sounds at any time. Absolutely blessed to hear this sound, cheers from Oz boys. And yes another guitar placed on the stand, replaced with quality head phones and the hope to see this group live one day.
Bluegrass Hendrix was my thought also. I felt like I was on a come up the whole time, and I was looking for chill Billy. Glad I chose this one though! Billy, your hair was perfect this length for that effect. I love everything about this, thank you! ❤️
Yo hardcore bluegrass is what I decided it was,I was trying to explain to someone how he is not quite country and almost more not quite bluegrass and I decided hardcore bluegrass!
He's using peddles that in the past have only been used by rock guitarists. Billy you're terrific don't let fane and drugs bring you down. You'' ll go down to be as one of the greatest ever believe me.
I was hoping to see Billy and his band somewhere in the UK (maybe ?) Hopefully anyway. Probably have to be watching these live shows on YT til then. I just love precise playing -like this is something I never heard before. And I haven't. My fave player bar none.
Billy goes though a lot of custom work to get his tone... and i have a stock martin HD 28 plugged in with a fishman matrix infinity internal pickup mic combo with fader nob inside my sound hole aswell as treble bass fade nob. i play a tele as wel and i use my fender deluxe reverb with the martin ...it sounds more natural than billys ever sounds unless miced on stage....the tiny mic inside his sound hole works good though...i think Fishman did more research and development and mine sounds better plugged in just my opinion i know. anyone else think about this or think about his tone ?
Andrew Halliday Music - When I first heard Billy’s live stuff I thought his tone was a bit plastic and thin sounding. But it’s grown on me now. I think he has it that way on purpose. It pays off with his fast picking. His sound is a blend of a bridge pickup and the Audio Technica mic taped onto the sound hole. I admit a well setup HD28 with your amp will probably sound “better” and more natural. He’s got his own ideas and they seem to be working.
Oh, don’t look now, three out of four seemed to have washed and combed their hair! Almost didn’t recognize ya kids! Always recognize our lil wayfaring genius tho!

Why do you say he is playing to Sun Ra?
Had a blast! See y'all on May 4th at Mohawk 🤠
If only I could. I live in Europe, I can only see your gigs on youtube. By the way, Doc is my hero too, I love when you play his songs.
This set bent my mind in more ways than I knew it could bend! Thanks Billy!

The mando player is AWESOME. Heck, everybody's awesome.
J Walker - dude is a beast.

Was thinking that as I read this.
Pyramid Country- 0:03

The expressions on Billy's face when he does his solos are a trip. He really get into playing. Man that guy can play one hell of a guitar.

Billy, you are phenomenal--a la Allman, Hendrix......please take CARE of yourself --THANKS FOR YOUR MUSIC!!
All these guys can jam as individuals but put them together is a real treat!
Talent on another level.
Some idiots think this evolved from primates. Sad
every one of those fellows. What pickers!
They are bringing through magic- no words. It is a privilege to hear this

I wish I had a dollar for every time I've clicked on a Billy vid and see that I have already liked it!
Billy is the real deal folks! A+
Omg my heart exploded at 12 min. BOOM the universe grew
Billy Strings deserves ALL the accolades. Amazing stuff being presented by these fine folks. Can't wait to see them in Buffalo in a few months!!
All these guys are STUDS! Rare talents! It's an honor to be able to listen to them & thanks for posting!
Yes, hardcore bluegrass!
Sound is incredible . Like a studio recording .
Billy was reaaaally feeling himself here. LOVE to see that!
Holy shit that Little Maggie solo 🤯🤯🤯🤯🔥🔥🔥🔥
SRV is back with a twang!
Hot grass! Thanks guys! Great sound on this video, too... thanks for that as well!
Never listened to Blugrass, but I listen to Billy
Me 2 Billy is smoking
Hardcore bluegrass that what I call it! Greensky bluegrass ALMOST does it too, but Billy just nails it!
You should check out ricky skaggs and kentucky thunder instrumentals album.
Killer session. Watched it too many times to count. Thanks, Billy
Burn it Down, Billy!! 🔥🔥🔥
Really digging what you’re doing! Been three plus days (in my limited free time) obsessed listening to you on RUclips! Grateful to have stumbled onto you, chasing Molly Tuttle. PL&U
Holy cow, that was fire. What a fantastic band and BFS, laying it down.
Thank you!
Wow just amazing!
These guys are amazing! Love to watch Billy’s face. Never much liked a banjo but he makes me
Billy can flat get it, so good!
That there boy is on fire
Is there such a thing as hardcore bluegrass? If not there needs to be, and Billy the founder! What a beast of a talent! Omg!
357 string band

This is fantastic!! I hope Billy makes his way to SoCal in the not too distant future!!
Best band ever.

I want to see Billie live!
Holy balls. That was intense.
Fantastic video. Thanks!
Sound is awesome. Bass is kickin.Cheers
That’s it! Now I gotta put some Billy Strings bluegrass licks in my hard rock playing!
Yo hardcore bluegrass is what I decided it was,I was trying to explain to someone how he is not quite country and almost more not quite bluegrass and I decided hardcore bluegrass!
bee bop That’s a really good name for it! Hardcore bluegrass. Also, the opening bit had some serious Celtic vibe happening.
Unbelievable. Wow.
Frickin Awesome!!!!!!
A proper band, never play a song the same way twice
Holy fucking shit. I am astonished at what I just heard.
You 4 are the real deal!
🔥 🔥
I love his facial expressions while picking, the Angus Young of bluegrass
Nice kid keep on picking God bless
He's using peddles that in the past have only been used by rock guitarists. Billy you're terrific don't let fane and drugs bring you down. You'' ll go down to be as one of the greatest ever believe me.
I totally agree with all you've said !
He doesn’t do drugs lol, ignorant much?
@@derekskater1996 can't you be nice?
Peg Marinello making accusations isn’t nice...
nice work!
Baddasss
What a fucking animal!!!!!

Hendrix. SRV. Billy Strings. All-American mate.
💜
Holy shit!
Billy Strings is to Bluegrass guitar what Keith Emmerson was to classical keyboards. See you tomorrow in Knoxville.
wow
I will never get enough of my sweetness for ever in my life so good yaw should be illegal just kidding 😂 love always your sunshine ☀️🔥
hes my gd hero
3:29 is when the playing stops at the channeling begins.
if I ever actually grow up I want to learn how to play like cousin Billy...not likely to happen any time soon... no worries
How much, and what drugs does this Billy boy take to be able to play so incredibly?
Tons of HGH steroids: Human Guitar Hero.
Floating Country? Never heard of. :)
oh come the fuck on
Hahaha wildfire !

L.R. Baggs and K&K blow Fishman away. Your first mistake is using anything Fishman.
Best Little Maggie ever.
Thought it was about lesson.
16:54
20:00 holy fuck
Sometimes I think Billy String is too pretty to be a guy. He has a cute baby girlish look, especially with his long hair. 🤣🤣 (no, I'm not gay).
Oh, don’t look now, three out of four seemed to have washed and combed their hair! Almost didn’t recognize ya kids! Always recognize our lil wayfaring genius tho!
Huh?
THUMBS DOWN DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FLAT PICKING OR MUSIC IN GENERAL YOUR LOOKING AT THE BEST...
What can this be compared to....? Jeez....
Those guys with the cameras jumping around in front are obnoxious.
Haha, they're the reason you're watching this. Be grateful they where there
@@Magere-Kwark agreed
Styx sucks...oh wait. Thats Dennis De Young. My bad.
i like it but i dont like it
Holy shit !
Wow
wow
