Billy Strings is part of a new generation of flatpickers that are taking bluegrass guitar to the next level. His personal style isn't for everyone, as can be seen in every bluegrass guitar forum argument of the last 6 months. I've previously covered Billy's playing on Dust In A Baggie, While I'm Waiting Here, Tennessee Stud, and I'm A Lonesome Fugitive. In the future I'll get to other hits like Slow Train, I promise (yes, the one in the van). I do find it interesting that in a scene flooded with Tony Rice imitators that the most popular flatpicker right now is Billy Strings, who is very influenced by Doc Watson!

Dude your channel is amazing!! Your lesson videos are some of the clearest, simplest and most well laid out I’ve ever seen. I’ve been a metal and blues player for years and I’ve just been getting into bluegrass more for the past few months (since lockdown started) and the way you break down Billy’s songs (I’m still trying to nail your dust in a baggie one) is amazing and making my life so much easier. Thanks man, loving the content. Big love from the UK. 🤘🏻👍🏻👊🏻

Was very recently turned on to the genre by listening to a guys cover of spicy drive noodles, then the second tune I learned was dust in a baggie from your video. At the moment I'm finishing the one where he's playing a martin in a guitar store, I'll be back to check this one out after. Great videos!

That was the first Doc Watson tune I ever learned .. I just chorded them . Over time I forgot aboutthe song .. Billy Strings licks look pretty darned simple ..I think I'm going to revive it again and now that I can flatpick I can juice it up.. I even have a few Ideas of my own.. thanks for posting... I read too slow so I can not read music or tabs .. I just watch the picking... sometimes I'll refer to the tabs if there is a few notes I'm missing... but i will ultimately do my way anyway... thanks for posting..

Thats really impressive. Very thankfull for putting this for free. It would be nice you doing the Wild Bill Jones arrangement by Billy Strings, you can check it on the "Soundcheck AVL - Billy Strings" video on youtube. Its a nice song, and Billy's arangement for guitar is perfect. I can't find any other lesson for this song for the guitar, its all Banjo's.

@nickeninja Жыл бұрын

Very helpful tabs. Many thanks! If anyone is interested in the rhythm sections there is a channel called vogel music school that made a very clear lesson on that. I'm combining both lessons to learn this tune :)

@e.rmusic7790 4 жыл бұрын

The first part of the intro sounded like browns ferry blues until he hit the c suprising how much all songs have on common when you really listen. All that aside you do an awesome job tabbing stuff out and I find it easier to learn the fills when I'm seeing you tab it all out no clue why but appreciate all the free videos!

Great video! Can I ask what kind of guitar you are playing? I really like the sound and the spacing in between the strings....

Hey Marcel! Thank you for the videos, you are an amazing teacher. I'm so intrigued with Billy Strings right now and am loving the bluegrass style guitar stuff. I am however new to learning any of this bluegrass stuff. This seems pretty complex for me. I have all the basics of guitar down and can play many songs and chords easily. Is there something you'd recommend to help me find this tutorial less difficult? Or do I just need to dive right in and practice, practice, practice?

@LessonsWithMarcel 3 жыл бұрын

Bluegrass is tough! It's a discipline and people spend their lives practicing, don't get discouraged if this feels tough. This break has a lot of fundamentals that will be super useful but you might try learning a couple of fiddle tunes first just to get the mechanics down! Check out my video on Red Haired Boy and the one called "3 Fiddle Tunes For Your First Bluegrass Jam" if you want to start with something a little more approachable!

@@LessonsWithMarcel Yeah you are right! Thank you man. I will definitely give that video a watch!!

Very good tab, i play the first notes like brown's ferry blues and Billy did in the very end of the song a little walk, just like he did in preacher and the bear e-3-0----------------- b------3-0------------ g-------------3p2p0 and this little walk to the D7 chord every second time in the lyrics e----------2 b----------1 g----------2 d-2-1-0---

Hey Marcel, I've just noticed at 1.42 in Billy's video, if you slow it down to .75 you hear a crazy pull off you cant hear at normal speed, maybe it was acstidentel

When I'm transcribing I'm using Guitar Pro and arranging everything on the screen with OBS. Audio is recorded through an Audiobox and Studio One. Afterwards I sync and edit the footage in Premiere Pro, some animated items are made in After Effects, icons and graphics made in Illustrator, and the thumbnails are made in Photoshop!
