Thus proving the old axiom that good bluegrass is like good jazz! Those boys improvised all AROUND that theme, and then some! And yet, they still stayed true to it with every lick! Truly a master class in how to do that stuff exactly right!
Exactly. So tired of the underrated BS across YT. According to who? It's an overrated opinion...and often a misguided attempt for attention.@@markmelville6670
I thought I was ok at bluegrass guitar, but I don’t even think I can play billy’s rhythm here at the same speed and not make mistakes. Much less the melody lines he plays. Thile just harmonizing his mandolin with Billy’s guitar at that speed is so impressive and he makes it seem routine!
Every time I see this clip I notice something new. When Billy is taking a break Chris is able to somehow play a complementary break with him. It’s not rehearsed but it’s impressive he can anticipate what is coming and make it sound incredible
WOW! This brings me so much joy. 😊 The pairing, the beautiful old song, the arrangement, and the effortless masterful performance. When they match licks towards the end it’s magical. Doc & Monroe updated for 2024
I feel like these two are gonna make alot of good music together in the coming years…each has his own thing but their musical chemistry is obvious and just a hell of a lot of fun to watch and listen to…Garcia & Grisman 2.0
Jesum Crow !!! Incredible!!! This is the best bluegrass-duo I've ever heard. Guitar, mandolin and vocals of both are superb!!! And there is adventure constantly!!! Greetings from holland.
I remember watching Billy play while I had dinner at a local resturant and then going to see Punch Brother later that week and now they share a stage its crazy.
That's a Jerry Garcia (From the grateful dead) song. Of course these guys took Jerry's old tunes to a completely different musical dimension. Love this song.

@@bonniekolb9953, Chris did some amazing performances of Bach that don't get the attention they deserve. Imagine getting Bach transcribed to work on a 4 string instrument (I know there are 8 strings but they are in unison pairs)
These are the people who are preserving true Americana for the next generation.
I like to think that somewhere there is a little kid who watched this this morning and decided he wanted to play mandolin
So right you are! That little kid is me, at 70 years old; it's time to open the dusty ol' mando case...
🎶😂
Jeff Austin inspired me to pick up the mandolin back in 2007. RIP, Jeff.
LIKE AMIRIGHT?!
Yaaas!!!
Please let this duo tour. Just take all my money.
I was just thinking the same thing! Do a duo tour with some special guest each night.. the dream..
They are touring 🎶

@@brandonjones7977 I don't even want special guests.
@@laurabenge That's all one show.
@@pjw2000 yes, they did just 3 gigs together, not exactly a tour. This is one of those, however, and their entire set. 🎶💛
Show this to the aliens, this is the best we’ve got to offer
👍👽👍
You made the best comment
Truth
This is the most objectively truthful comment I’ve ever read in my entire life
We are aliens
I love that bluegrass is making a mainstream comeback.
Watson and Monroe for a new generation. Simply outstanding. Please for the love of all things bluegrass take this show on the road!!!!
The two crown princes of acoustic music on the same stage!
Billy and Chris together, man, this is magic!
My thoughts, exactly.

The new Tony Rice and David Grisman!!❤❤🔥🔥🤘

MY GRASS IS BLUE
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Chris have that much fun playing.
Reigning Goats in their field.
Billy is underrated as a vocalist.
Are you kidding me? Who doesn’t know he has a fantastic voice???
Exactly. So tired of the underrated BS across YT. According to who? It's an overrated opinion...and often a misguided attempt for attention.@@markmelville6670
He’s also a fantastic rhythm player which to do well isn’t easy

Thile just harmonizing his mandolin with Billy’s guitar at that speed is so impressive and he makes it seem routine!
Billy is an excellent rhythm player. Thile is so good he just rolls with it. Zero effort zero mistakes as usual.
"WOW!!" doesn't even come close. Awesome tune, boys! Thank you.
What a combo - more Billy and Chris.
Every time I see this clip I notice something new. When Billy is taking a break Chris is able to somehow play a complementary break with him. It’s not rehearsed but it’s impressive he can anticipate what is coming and make it sound incredible
This makes me cry in the best of ways
Oh pa, that one makes me cry
Showmen. Entertainers. Roy Clark would be proud.
Billy has come a long way and obviously continues to expand his blossoming future in his masterful music knowledge and delivery
The boys are having fun.
The laugh at “hot damn we sound amazing” got me ❤️✨🥹
When did that happen
@@cameroneagle4370 2/3, yesterday.

Billy gonna make it around the world one day, just y’all wait!
pretty sure he already has.... got a grammy.... well nominations at least. ;)
Billy has done some small Euro tours the past couple years. He's reaching further and further each day though! Love these two!
Pretty sure he crosses dimensions
@@wheninroamfulnope, he’s a Grammy winner, not just nominee
I wish he was on tour with the Punch Brothers or whoever Chris is playing with these days so we could see more of this.
Dang, these boys sound so good they got me "grinning like a mule eating glue".
The greatest at their instruments. And they’re pretty good singers and songwriters.
Damn right Billy
Billy and Thile played on TV and blew all the city people away❤ like an atmospheric river of ball bearings on a steel drum..
they each had the best seat in the house to watch the other guy shred

Wouldn’t it be Rice and Grisman?
@@micah_leeNot unless you've never heard the album "Shady Grove".
I love how Chris is cracking Billy up. Solid performance.
Wow! The stars align. They sound better together than either has with so many others. Really made for each other.
Jesum Crow !!! Incredible!!!
This is the best bluegrass-duo I've ever heard.
Guitar, mandolin and vocals of both are superb!!! And there is adventure constantly!!!
Greetings from holland.

Love Billy Strings music ever since I saw him perform in Frankfort Michigan. So impressed with his talent.
Billy Strings is excellent. Chris Thile is phenomenal.
They both cut their teeth on bluegrass. You know the joy they are expressing doing this is real. A beautiful thing to watch.
Billy undressing us with his eyes at 1:35 😂😂

Wow .
Billy Amazing Strings!!!! Wow!!
Chris amazing Thile is a master mandolin player . The two together are beyond the beyond.
@@bonniekolb9953, Chris did some amazing performances of Bach that don't get the attention they deserve. Imagine getting Bach transcribed to work on a 4 string instrument (I know there are 8 strings but they are in unison pairs)
Billy is the best hands down !!!!
These two are incredible.
Broooo. Mandolin player slicing people up out there! He’s so good lol.
