My only regret is not being able to give two votes thumbs up for this guy
When you’re only 28 years old but been playing guitar for the past 50 years
I agree. Just awesome
Lol
Haha true
HA! awesome comment...
Just proves times irrelevant when you’re a Prodigy / Virtuoso .
Dude is the cleanest, fastest flat picker I ever saw, and a voice to fit. You can't teach some things he does, it's a God given gift.
He's great and will continue to grow. He's definitely my favorite living guitar player. He's got a ways to go to stand next to Tony Rice.
The cleanest, fastest picker ever was Doc Watson, and this kid would tell you the same thing (so would Tony Rice, were he still around to do so). B.S. pays homage to Watson in this song, and a proper tribute it is! Thanks, kid!
@@musicofanatic Absolutely agree - except it isn’t quite speed that marks him. The fiddle tunes were fast but never manic, and always smooth. Here you see Billy emulate Doc’s great solo accompaniment style, where he plays really cool runs during little breaks between and within verses. But except for one flurry of great cross-picking, he doesn’t match up to Doc. I know this because I imagine myself playing a lot if those licks, however badly, after ages of practice. Doc - never could imagine such a thing.
SRV died for a few years and was sent back as him
Or he “sold his soul for fortune and fame” like he said
I never thought a Billy Strings could exist I'm 75 and thought I'd seen it all "the best of the best" Then along comes this Amazing kid. WoW "Son I hope you never forget that your gift is from God and make sure while you make all the money He allows you to, Too give Him the Honor He deserves. Kerry Lyons , Knoxville, TN
Damn straight, neighbor (Morgan Co TN).
Claiborne county TN here
God has nothing to do with wat is it with Americans and god 😀😀most of them wouldn’t give you a dollar if you were starving but they are god this and god that 🤷🤷
@@dieselman7453 you've obviously never been to East TN. I blew a tire out and it wasn't 5 min before someone stopped to help. And when my ball joint fell out someone came with a tow truck free of charge to move my truck. When I overheated someone towed me back to my driveway free of charge and that was like 25 miles too. You can't say good people don't live in the Bible belt. You obviously don't live here and if you do your just a dick. Everyone here is Christian. Deal with it or leave nobody cares what you have to say we would rather not have you here anyways. This is a god fearing country. Don't come to the Bible belt trying to spread your ignorance because you will be treated like shit I promise you.
@@dieselman7453 I don't think you have been to many places in the Bible belt. The homeless eat better then people with homes because people give so much
Oh hell yes. That guitar will need a cigarette when it's over.
Same comment video after video after video.
@@shoechew it's a good comment for a good video. Why not.
and wheres the lie? id need a smoke too after having my strings fingered like that too
@@shoechew It's the right thing to do
Hell, I meed a cigg after that :P
I can't even imagine how many hours of this kids life that has been devoted to learning the guitar... He is one of the best pickers I have ever seen...already a master at his craft
The best I’ve ever heard
Amazing
Funny enough... I still see him grow: he is a daredevil- has his skills and his 'fantasies', blends these and goes way beyond other people.
Still I see Billy's techniques grow as well, as I noticed in the piece above. He here does some tricky triplets stuff like he is blowing his nose... Now I know, blowing your nose is a piece of cake... Playing triplets right in between the other stuff isn't... Doing so is skilly ART!
I've "found" Billy via Molly Tuttle. She is a superb player too! However: she still has to learn to dare and play outside the lines of conservative playing. I hope she plays more with Billy, and will learn, 'cause she can be GREAT too!!!
Well... she already IS great, but still... ;)
@@gregoryb2999 Depression sucks. You are not alone. Feel free to reach out if you ever need someone to talk to. Much love
He’s been playing with his dad since he could hold a guitar... said he used to play all off time until he could pick up rhythms, then he eventually learned some of the faster runs and it evolved into this ridiculously polished artist that you hear today... I’m a musician as well, and I only wish I had the time behind the frets that billy has... it’s insane
No-one has a bad word to say about this Michigan kid playing bluegrass. Not just a brilliant guitarist, an amazingly good singer. The Trolls are staying under their stones..
As well they should
I dont care much for the genre, but i gotta admire his skill
He yodels Great
Where is Michigan is he from?
He is also very grounded. So happy for him that he got his chance to shine, well he actually made it happen and good for him. I could listen to Billy all day.
2:01... He taps his guitar on the word "thud". In this middle of this amazing performance he didn't ignore any details. Just amazing.
Not thud. Stud. A male horse
@@lewiefrazier1041 he says “fell with a thud” at that part in the song. As in someone hitting the ground making a thud.
@@lewiefrazier1041 yeah dude... fell with a "thud" not fell with a "stud" why don't you actually click on the minute that he had already posted before trying to be a know it all. Cause clearly you know nothing and jump to conclusion to fast.
@@lewiefrazier1041 You got fuckin' wrecked, son, by those other 2 comments. Seethe about it.
YEAH THE THEATRE STORYTELLER TRAVELLIN MAN ASPECT IS REAL
Doc is up in Heaven looking down and listening with a big smile on his face.
The people of appalachia did an amazing job of taking British & Irish folk and traditional music and making bluegrass. Bluegrass is easily one of the best genres of music, in my opinion. If I was American I'd be so proud of it!!
We are 😊
i am irish, hello lmao
You don't have to be American to be proud be proud that you like bluegrass 😂its not just for Americans it's music it's for anyone that will listen
The sad thing is that most "country music" radio won't play bluegrass and only plays pop country instead :(
Yup, we are! I fell in love with Bluegrass at age 6, my dad’s best friend was from Oklahoma, his extended family were leaving the San Bernardino Mountains for Oklahoma and they were giving us there dog, I drove with my dad up into the mountains, Ray’s whole family all played instruments & we had a hoedown in their living room & I was hooked. I studied violin coz I wanted to play fiddle, later I took guitar lessons. I went to all the Coffee Houses and listened to live Bluegrass every chance us got. I learned about the Carter family and the Grand Ole Oprey from my mom, who grew up listening to it on the radio.
His playing is unbelievably clean
The cleanest
Unbelievable. So clean..
Like Doc, I don't think Billy knows he is destined to be a legend for all time. Just a humble guy doing something he loves. And we love it too.
Snaggletooth Jenny he does
I totally agree! I've seen Doc Watson live many times. Been a fan since I was a little girl (this is Dan's wife) My dad was a HUGE fan. One day we went to a Cracker Barrel in NC....and there he was...Doc Watson....right next to us. I have NEVER seen my dad so speechless. My mom went right up to talk with him. Extremely gentle, kind, unassuming man. Billy is right in his footsteps. ❤️ 💙 Raechel
@@danmason8427 😮😮😮😮
Definitely up there with Jimi and srv I can’t lie
Billy is very refreshing. Keeping Doc Watson's music alive a must. Thanks Billy.
And a song by the greatest song writer of all time, too!
@@childofthe60s100 It was written by Jimmy Driftwood actually.
Im 68 yrs old i think thats sweet rendition of that tune
Thx Billy!
I don’t know why but this is some of my favorite guitar playing. Sometimes I feel like the instruments accompany the words. But here, the guitar is the main story and the words are clarifying details.
I don’t know why everyone thinks he’s so good. I can play this in my sleep! When I wake up though that’s when it goes to hell lol damn what a picker!
I'm the same, I sound amazing in shower
@@richardbarrow4299 thats because you have confidence in the shower, when you sing outside you lose that confidence
Hahaha!
😂👍🏻
If you so good link us a vid of you playing this so we can see for ourselves
My father and Jimmie Driftwood (the writer of this song) were friends when I was a kid. I fondly remember a late night on the porch of Jimmie and Cleda's house learning to play this song on the mouth bow. In my mind, nobody but Jimmie will ever do justice to this song but I have to say Billy comes pretty darned close.
What a story. Thanks for sharing
see: Doc Watson
I love Jimmie and all he did for music, one of the greatest songwriters of all-time. But I guarantee he would be absolutely flabbergasted by this kid. Jimmie had a very simple style on a guitar made from a headboard.
You are talking nonsense!
THIS is a Bob Dylan song!
APOLOGIES, APOLOGIES, APOLOGIES!!!!!!
ER - apologies - I was watching "Don't Think Twice" and RUclips jumped to the next video.
Humble apologies!
brings tears to my eyes every time from the sheer beauty of it
His picking is so great it's kinda hard to realize how great he can sing. I'm 61 and add my voice to the chorus he's simply the fastest flat picker I've ever seen ❤
If yall get the chance you should see him live! All ages, all races, all vibes, all class. Incredibly talented with a great band who put on a great show!
This is what real country music sounds like. Not this new modern country rock with a hick voice . Country music before 1960 sounded like this mountain music style , originally coming from Irish , Scottish and Welsh music.
Youthman Production for real I hate that shit dude
Wearing a stetson and boots dosn't make it country I call most new shit 'rural influenced pop music'
Hugh Snuts that’s gotta be the most fitting description in existence lol
@@drewclemens9231 Thanx bro
@@hughsnuts7318 I think it must suck to be a new cuntrypopper and see Billy just ripping it up. Hank Williams approves most assuredly.
The 276 people who thumbed down are just jealous that can't do that the young man has got super talent
Yeah! Exactly! He´s great!
Absolutely....when people compliment my guitar playing and singing I take the complement, but tell them I really ain’t nothing. This guy is the real deal. Incredible. His picking is just so perfect.
The 276 are just ignorant might be some of joe Biden’s bunch
It's safe to say he has enough talent for a whole group of people.
He smoking 🚬
prodigy...which basically means hes a jedi knight...actually something else special about this dude...he has a subtle sadness about him . cant put my finger on where exactly im finding or seeing that...i will say theres just only gonna be one of him...like Elvis. Glad im alive to see him.
Like the grand old Opry he played in front , glad you are no scout , lol
Watching him grow has been an extreme pleasure because he is perfect in all musical ways and all personal effects-- the great future he already is realizing. Hurray
I discovered Billy Strings about 7 months ago, and I love him so much, he plays the music I grew up on, we have tickets to see him in August 2024, in 3 months, yippee! He’s amazing 🤩
We going to see him in August too 😄 enjoy the show !
These songs are American oral traditions. Thanks Billy for carrying the tourch and perserving American music
Nothing like listening to Billy Strings to cleanse my pallette of 2020
This kids the best that exists today prove me wrong!
Thats so refreshing to hear country like that these days instead of that garbage they call country. This guy is so dang talented top it off
Simply Outstanding, Thank You Mr Strings 🙏👍
This was my favorite Doc Watson song. Doc’s hollering in Heaven now, to hear Billy play it. 🙏🎵🕊
ER.....It's a Bob Dylan song!
ER - apologies - I was watching "Don't Think Twice" and RUclips jumped to the next video.
Humble apologies!
@@childofthe60s100 No worries (child of the 50s and 60s😉).
Forgive me for being THAT GUY, but the author of the song was Arkansas troubadour Jimmy Driftwood. I hope Billy will do more of Driftwood's songs in the future
@@shortycrawford9633 Thanks for saving me from being that guy. One of my earliest memories is my dad putting on his Jimmie Driftwood album, and waiting for this song.
Doc Watson is up in the big ozone smiling right now. You gave a great old song new life. Keep pickin', my friend!
Doc does a wonderful version of this song , many people don’t know that “Tennessee stud “ was written by jimmy driftwood
Love his version, reminds me of Doc!!
Seen Doc and Merle, they brought soul and intensity, greatly appreciated decades later
Jimmy driftwood is still the best version in my opinion
Hammerin' Hank that’s cold
Love to see the youngins keepin the old music alive and well. He's a hell of a player!
Right!
Don't think there is many people that can pick like billy
God willing! I hope he stays away from too much temptation
Best flatpicker / singer living.
If I don’t stop watching this guy I’ll throw my guitar away
Can’t wait to see that guitar 20 years from now…beaten to hell and back…still in this mans hands and still pumping out sweet soul.
Love his sly little smile after he says he whooped her brother an he whooped her pa! Too adorable!
bee bop the second I read this he said the line that was so awesome
LOVE how you can tell he has fun playing music, he is not doing it to get rich and famous, that's a perk but one that if you took away he would still keep playin! My life has truly been better since I started listening to Billy!♥️♥️bmfs♥️♥️
An amazing man. I'm glad he is keeping the old songs alive.
Paradise is what I think of at my Grandpa’s lil farm beside the Bluewell River, Rock, Mercer County. West Virginia ❤❤❤ I quoted part of these amazing lyrics at Grandpa Ryans’s funeral 😢😭😭😭 so many years ago! My Auntie Rita said everyone was ‘holding it in’ until a talked about what a beautiful place the family homeplace was, then the tears poured!
For this song I’m forever grateful, thank you Master Lyricist Mr. John Prine ❤
Jimmy Drifrtwood wouId be proud of Billy Strings. I heard Mr. Driftwood sing this song live in the late 1950's. I barely understood what a unique experience I was having, Loved Doc Watson's version as well. Thanks, Fretboard Journal.
Man his voice is from another era!
I wonder if this kid gets tired of hearing what a genius he is.
reminds me of this Jimi Hendrix interview "You are probably the best guitarist around right now" "Nah, I'm the best guitar player sitting in this chair"
Might hear it a bunch, but doesn't listen.
@@vacayooper4728 I like to think as you do but WTF is he sporting pink hair now?
Breast cancer awareness
@@wipje41 When Jimmy Hendrix was told repeatedly how great he was, and the best ever, he stated: Nah-- the greatest guitarist is Rory Gallagher!!!!!!
I've listened to this over a million times but it never gets old is that just me
What an honor to listen to
I've been playing and listening to this song for forty years, but Billy's is my favorite version.
From an Arkansas hillbilly, thanks Billy strings. You add to " Our" heritage.
Lawd a mercy, can this boy ever sing and play ! Hope he didn't sell his soul to the devil to play like that ! Stellar young man !!
Wanna see this guy, colter wall, Tyler Childers and sturgill Simpson on tour together. Could you imagine.
Definitely would fit in that group
Not sturgill so much anymore. He’s moved on from the country sound and has even said so
Fuck yes!
Mind blown just tryin' to wrap/warp my mind around the thought of it!!
That would be like all the planets aligning.
This song brings tears to my eyes.
Don’t know how I landed here but I have been blessed.
DANG, I never thought anyone could out do Doc, but here I am singing along with it at the top of my lungs, Knowing that Doc is smiling down from heaven.
Damn that guitar is gorgeous! Billy is the future of flatpicking and progressive bluegrass
Amen! Whats more, he is a very nice young man, easy to talk to, and willing to share his talents anywhere and at any time. They don't make many like Billy; we are lucky to have him.
Yeah he is, super nice good guy. And bursting with Talent.
I saw him roll thru Colorado bout a year ago, I was sold instantly and been a fan since ..
Even tho he looks younger, I coulda sworn he was older with his composure and everything
Yep
@@parfner666 where in C?
Dave LaSure Denver, saw him play at the Bluebird
I do not like country music at all, but this is real music, even if it is country. It is refreshing to have no auto tune and see someone actually rip on a guitar. Thumbs up here
EXCELLENT rendition of a true classic by Mr Strings. A plus job, Billy, keep up the great work!
THIS JUST GOT PUT ON MY “ keepers list “ … save it for all time.
Some of the most raw, natural flatpickin' ive seen in quite some time. Why am I just now discovering this fella?!👊
Go see him live if you can. Nothing you see on youtube can prepare you.
Kentucky Blugrass: You’re just discovering him now because he was just born like yesterday, lol.
This guy has been on RUclips forever.
Check out Tyler Childress , sturgill Simpson , and the Steele driver's all super super RAW country it will give you chills did me anyway....
Billy is the best flat picker!!
God bless this kid, keeping real music alive
billy is the chosen one
For sure son
@ He chose to work his ass off. He is not magic. The MFer was smart and worked his ass off.
Fine, maybe a little magic too.
Its obvious he sold his soul ...so yes black magic..
Along about eighteen twenty-five
I left Tennessee barely half-alive
I never would have got through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been a-ridin' on the Tennessee Stud
I had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa
And one of her brothers was a bad outlaw
I sent her a letter by my Uncle Bud
And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean
The color of the sun, and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud
One day I was riding in a beautiful land
I run smack into an Indian band
They jumped their nags with a whoop and a yell
And away we rode like a bat out of hell
I circled their camp for a time or two
Just to show what a Tennessee horse can do
The redskin boys couldn't get my blood
'Cause I was a-riding on the Tennessee Stud
We drifted on down into no man's land
We crossed that river called the Rio Grande
I raced my horse with the Spaniard's foal
'Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold
Me and a gambler, we couldn't agree
We got in a fight over Tennessee
We jerked our guns, and he fell with a thud
And I got away on the Tennessee Stud
I got just as lonesome as a man can be
Dreamin' of my girl in Tennessee
The Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue
'Cause he was a-dreamin' of a sweetheart, too
We loped right back across Arkansas;
I whupped her brother and I whupped her pa
I found that girl with the golden hair
And she was a-riding on the Tennessee Mare
Stirrup to stirrup and side by side
We crossed the mountains and the valleys wide
We came to Big Muddy, then we forded the flood
On the Tennessee Mare and the Tennessee Stud
A pretty little baby on the cabin floor
A little horse colt playing 'round the door
I love that girl with the golden hair
And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare
Thank you for keeping my generation alive in music
This is a incredible, extremely expert level guitar playing and singing.
I've heard him play this on other videos. This particular performance was so good, I literally started to cry. As a guitar player myself, seeing that kind of natural talent and fluidity leaves me in awe. I saw Doc and Merle perform this back in the 80's. They would be so proud of this guy.
@Random One
Yes, I agree; it takes work to develop a God-given gift. Billy Strings was born with music in him. He proves himself worthy of the gift.
Jack D. Ripper please
10,000 hours needed to master any musical instrument some are longer do bro steel so on but yea ask any musician they all tell me once u hit 10,000 u can play the guitar good but still practice everyday for 3-5 hours if u can
Anyone that gets really good at instrument has put in some work. But natural talent is a real thing. Go to a bluegrass festival. There are eight year olds that will make you want to use your guitar as a coffee table. That's talent.
I assure you this guy has dedicated his life to music completely and this is the result of that kind focus and hard work
Late to the party....Michigan again raises the bar for musical talent.
makes this this 68 yo think the future of country is in good hands :--)
Grew up in Timbo, AR. Went to school right across the street from Jimmy Driftwood's house, who wrote and first recorded this song. Pretty cool to see Billy Strings playing the crap out of it all these years later.
This is one of my favorite songs, It has been covered by many people and many, many, famous old school country stars. This could be the best version I have ever heard and that is a giant statement. Billy has a great voice and is a truly amazing guitar player. Thank you for uploading this.
Not sure how it could get any better. Absolutely perfect all around. Geez what a player
Best version for me remains Doc Watson's. But this one's just a step behind.
Yes I know that DOC WATSON IS AS PROUD AS HELL OF BILLY'S DEVOTION TO PLAYING IT RIGHT 🤞👍🎶🎵👏👏
The version on The Circle Album is still the standard. No question.
One of my favorites too.
This reminds me of home how I miss those Tennessee mountains
I'm in Knoxville...come back, it'll be like you never left....
East Tennessee here, tri cities. nothing like good ole rocky top, what got me is this guy is from up north but I honestly thought he was a local feller.
joshua nicely im in knoxville too!
J.C. here
Missing my home up in blue ridge wv. Florida beaches jsut don't hit like west virginia hills
He is so amazing, I am not a fan of country, never thought I would love a song about a horse so much! Billy, you are doing it for me!♥️♥️♥️
I see you on quite a bit of the music I listen to lol
Good taste. Cheers!
Every so often I come back & watch this, I ask my son recently if he thought it'd be inappropriate to play this song at my funeral, Billy Strings singing of course. He said whatever I wanted..lol
I'm 70 yrs old & I LOVE hearing this young man pick & sing.
What a magic song , rip Johnny almighty cash ..... LOVE YOUR SONGS I REMEMBER THEM SILVER MORNINGS WHEN YOUR FACE HAS TURNED TO GRAY .but you never said your sory i still loved you even than , poetry bro wish u alll the best ,IF Ever visit ireland . you have a place to rest your bones , all chill out ...
I just found this youngster a couple of months ago and now it seems he's everywhere. What fun it is to watch him play. He's moved on from his original appearance to a more professional look and it suits him. I'm sure he will go far.
I hope he stays away from the commercialized country garbage that's being produced now.
Hate to shatter your illusions and dispel your prejudice but this was a few years ago. Billy looks like this now, ruclips.net/video/Y6CyQftidOw/видео.html&fbclid=
Not that it makes a damn bit of difference what his hair looks like....jeez
It must’ve hurt his mom giving birth to this kid holding a guitar
Ripped that pu**y in all kind of ways 🫣
😂😂😂
That's pretty hilarious.....quite the vag......2 feet 10 toes...2 hands 10 fingers connected to 6 strings
I'm dead!! 😅
Haha, “the g string tore me open”. “Underwear did that?!” “no, a guitar string!”
"He fell with a thud" {THUD}
Nice touch.
Read this as it happened. Love it
Doc did this in his version as well.
As natural as breathing....effortless mastery.
Billy Strings & Fretboard Journal, Please share this with our Miss Loretta Lynn. She feels that country music is dead....It's alive and well...It's just not the mainstream any longer. That's all. This is GREAT stuff ya'll.
Man I wish Billy would record an album doing all these amazing solo covers on RUclips. I want to be able to play like him one day
Hank Williams on crank !! Lol.. Hot damn son, that's the real deal and what's missing from all the corporate , force fed crap they call country.
You are a note for sore ears Billy, and Baggie just kicks ass , lol, love that song,, don't ever let them turn you man,, God bless,
Hank couldnt play like this kid
@@Frankfoot986 Billy can never live like Hank.
That guitar has such a pure tone, so fitting Billy.
This Martin has my sound for a guitar.
I was barn and raised in Muhlenburg County Ky. Thumb picking was everywhere and everywhere you went there were decent musicians. I was playing by the age of five and although I grew with friends and family that could play and as a kid we would venture over to Ohio County and play and listen to bluegrass. But as I grew up and County Music turned into crud I took a different direction. For yrs now I've listened to and played Led Zeppelin, The Stones,. Guns and Roses, Ozzy, Aerosmith ECT. I still love the classic rock and metal it's in my blood but I have two boys that are excellent musicians. One is hard core and even more hard core than the old man and my other son is bluegrass. He plays mandolin, guitar, and upright bass. A year or so ago he was telling me about this Billy Strings and that if I appreciated great playing it wouldn't matter the genre. Well I figured what the heck I didn't want to be narrow minded so I did look him up and checked him out and within just a little bit I was a huge fan and it brought me back to my roots. It took me back to the first sounds that made me want to be a picker.
Unfortunately it reminded me that there are those generational talents and that try as I may have it wasn't me. This kid is from another dimension. I am without fail awestruck each time I watch him play. He's no doubt the best I have ever heard and to boot i dig his style and vocals. Keep it up keep expanding and making other things your very own . Thank you Billy for the enjoyment you've brought to this old Rocker!!!!!!
This dude deserves to be heard I've been listening to him the past few years and as a guitar player he is untouchable
When Billy Strings plays, Magic happens
Sure does
This man has reinvented blue grass! True dude and one of the greatest musicians I have ever listened to. 😎🚬
From a gal from Arkansas, this was incredible! Such amazing talent..
What a loving tribute to Doc Watson, who Strings quite obviously idolizes! I only hope the kids who are nuts for his band's inane, contrived-sounding jamming are motivated to hear and support the music that inspired him...
God bless Doc Watson for inspiring the gift to the world that is Billy Strings..
This is still one of my favorite (Grammy winner) Billy Strings tunes.
All the practice,lessons and want to in the world alone can’t get someone to this level in my opinion. People like this guy and others are all just plain gifted.
This video is where I first heard Billy Strings couple years ago... I've prolly watched it close to 1000 times!
Hell yes bring back real country
Billy has single handedly inspired me to start picking again. Much love billy!!!!!
I said the same!
@@tigerstalons5118 I hope to never stop picking, Billy making me want to pick just that much more.
@@squoonz1992 ZEB !!!
His picking makes me want to take up drums.
Holy cow! How did I miss this kid? Incredible work.
Hes organic. Not a fake, mass produced, corporate made and controlled actor.
My brother once met and played with Doc Watson many years ago. He used to play this for me, it one of my absolute favorite BG songs! Billy Strings you are awesome! Thanks for playing this one! 🙂
The warm up is a lesson in itself.
Proud to have met you William thanks for using your gift
Billy the kid is a masterclass he's up there with the greats 👏🎸
Just a beautiful rendition of this song! Best guitar playing on this ever!
Watching Billy Strings' fingers fly across and Up & down the fret board is mesmerizing. That he sings the story of the Tennessee Stud and never loses a beat. Amazing rendition.
His voice just gets better and better.
Best song ever.
I have not ever heard anything like him. he is legit channeling the past and making incredible music!
Look up Charley Crockett.
@@pinkdragonflycmf I will. The amount of music I've heard from you tube comments is amazing
