who is still watching this amazing performance now after 7 years ???

This young man has got to be the best picker I've heard in years. He does such tremendous justice to the traditional styles of Doc Watson, Norman Blake, Clarence White, etc, while keeping the music fresh with the progressive styles of the younger pickers of today. All of that with an absolutely amazing singing voice. Billy Strings is a star that will hopefully shine brightly for many years to come! BRAVO!

Kid's going down in the books as one of the greats. A gift to the genre. Astounding musically. Geeze.

Makes a man feel good about the future of traditional music.

this guy is the best thing to happen to the bluegrass world in a long long time. hes got that fire. what a joy to pick with too. hes hard to keep up with though, he will leave ya in the dust :p

Billy oh billy, where have you been the generations of the masters rolled up in one cute little beautiful L Billy! Thank your Mother and Dad for us! You are a waterfall of mountain music! Thank you

Just got into his music since the start of Covid... Totally addicted to bluegrass guitar now. Thank you Billy for opening up a world I never new existed.

I'd honestly vote this guy best current guitarist.

Unbelievable, one of the best guitar players I've ever heard.

Two of my favorite performers, Doc Watson and Johnny Winter. Then along comes Billy Strings. You are an excellent guitarist and singer. You da man.

What can I say about that no words will work Billy I wish I had started earlier than 76 but Covid got me going and now I can flatpick and get so much fun out of it just like you, thank you kid for not being a drug addled egotist, with that kind of talent it’s something for the kids to admire, don’t let them down🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

this young man has that something special....the x factor he is the full package ....gods gift to bluegrass!

Billy knows lots of things that most of us don't about the guitar

a good addiction this is....making my day

Billy is the greatest. An inspiration. Last Day at Gettysburg, just wow...

It’s a hard and rare thing to keep this traditional music going while also elevating it and being so steeped in the core of the music.. master grass at a young age.. nothin but love Billy

He's great! I love hearing him pick takes me back to better times

Mr. Strings if the devil went down to Georgia and you were there i don't believe he would challenge you against your soul because he wouldn't stand a chance. Man you are such a great example of a bluegrass "Master." Love watching you pick dude. Pickens S. Carolina here and such a big fan.

So good! The last day at Gettysburg sounded great!

I just love this guy! Saw him outside Philly in Oct. and was blown away. Amazing player and hilarious! Amazing to see the potential for the future of this music.

I've watched this so many times

I don't know how he knows all the old stuff and never misses a beat

Hold the Woodpile down! Love that old tune. Keep up the Great Work Billy!

Last Day At Gettysburg. Solid Gold.

Best version of "ain't nothing to me " .. Unreal..

I turned this video into an audio cd and listen in my car non-stop. Awesome playing and a good listen if you are dipping your toes into flatpicking.

Billy mate you proper blow me away!😃Gerry of London. Saw you in London can't wait to see you again so in December. Keep well mate.

awesome. Ever since seeing Billy with Don Julin at Rockygrass summer of 2015 - HUGE fan

Absolutely brilliant what a great picker and singer with infectious enthusiasm

Excellent playing and singing Billy, 😎

Quite one of the best guitar players I've ever seen, up there with Jerry Garcia and Bill Monroe already. The future is BRIGHT as fuck!

To Noah, Thank you so much for the detailed playlist....learning some of these songs for the first time and all are wonderful. Very helpful. Billy Strings is one of a kind in this or any other generation. So heartfelt and soulful with unlimited playing ability.

Grammy Award Winner BILLY STRINGS!!! - 2021 Hell yes!!

wow what I'd give for another one of these right about now

Omg I am obsessed, I am calling this hardcore bluegrass! He is too cute too! Litterally the best guitarist I have ever seen! And I am 40 been to alot of shows!

Saw him in Princeton yesterday, the audience went wild!

Wow, one great picking lesson after another, You Go Billy! All the very best and thank you so much !!

Billy yodeling is pure bliss!!

The Johnny Winter tune killed me. Love it brother.

I just done 10yrs and I get here is B Illy the best I have ever heard with out doubt that you for doing what you do !!!

Can we just say, awesomeness? Great picken’ and singing. I love this type of setting. Can’t get any better. Thanks for sharing.

Love this guy!! Cant stop watching/ listening to his music. I want to ask him to play 7 bridges road, He would kill it. Thanks Billy S!

Last Day At Gettysburg alone makes this the greatest thing on youtube. All the other songs just add to your journey through time with a soothing reminder that this stuff will never die if we pass it on to our kids.

I have officially played this video more than any other video in the history of KZfaq

Love you, Billy! 💓🎶💮

You pick that guitar pretty dang good and you sang awesome God blessed you keep up the good work

A beautiful 2020 morning listening to billy with a joint and a coffee. Couldn’t be better

Ladies & Gentlemen : introducing Billy Strings, the Elvis of Bluegrass at long last. Ain't it cool ? I'll say so .. Go for it, Billy !!

thanks for sharing this! i'm getting over major head & heart trauma, and this really works!

Wow, I wish I had been there to watch this live! Billy, if for some reason you ever see this post, I just want you to know I’ve learned more about my own playing by watching this than any other time in my 50 years of playing guitar! THANKS!!!

Everyone talks about how well he plays, but never talks about the incredible number of songs he knows. If these were all rock songs playing he same 5 power chords, it'd be blah. But, songs he plays are much more complex.

This just makes me SO happy...

Big fan from Brasil here, Billy. Cheers!

Where doe's he find the time to do FB performances? This is so cool. He is the best thing to happen to American Roots music in a long time.

The GOAT

Thanks for sharing Amy 👍❤️🙏

Beautiful set list. Miss the Mississippi and you is just magical, ALWAYS.

For those that didn't know, Billy can play left hand just as well as right. ;)

The young man surely is Heaven sent. Thank you Lord.

Hey Billy how about will my soul pass through the southland. God bless from the bootheel of Missouri. Love your music.

watched this whole thing about 30 times now. he's a fuckin genius

This is solid gold.

Wow! Just discovered this one. Thanks for sharing. When you mentioned Johnny Winter, I'm thinkin', damn I hope he plays Ain't Nothin' to Me. Awesome. I hope to hear Cheap Tequila someday. Best wishes, young man. I'll be in that crowd one of these days.

So in love with this sesh

Billy is complete magic!!!

you have to do this again.........great depth of music ...........the best..............keep it up dont loose focus............

You are blessed and very talented thank you

i love this! First take talent.

Excellent! Thank you, shared.

This was a fun ride! Thank you Billy!

Love the yodel!!

Billy is magic!!!!!!!

My son turned me on to Billy about a year ago and there probably hasn't been a day go by that I haven't watched/listened to him since. Big Johnny Winter fan, and Billy plays one of my favorites on a request and just fuc%!#g nails it.

Real country, beautiful, uncorrupted, natural as the wind

So great, thanks a lot.........

Last Day of Gettysburg should be required listening after reciting the National Anthem for K thru 12 education.❤️🇺🇸✅

Love it

EXCELLENT! DAMN! THAT WAS FREAKIN AWESOME DUSE!

He's amazing!

Muh pardner here shot 'im in the earlobe and he didn't miss a goldern beat! :)

I promoted blue grass for 30 years in Florida. Wish I could have had him perform for us. Steve Dittman

Dude! You make it look so easy!

Guess I have a couple songs to write out 😍 perfect lesson video

Wow..thanks for posting this..it sooo good!

Well done !

wished id heard of you three years ago! your talent seems limitless...........

I wish someone would tab out this entire session.

That's a mighty fine picking and singing

I wish Billy would work up Ballad of Thunder Road, (By Robert Mitchum), That's one cool ass song, And I know that Billy would play the hell out of it

That's the best thing Billy strings ever did right here

I miss my friend Theresa she showed me bluegrass music and taught me how to pick. I'm carrying your rhythm forward Lady Theresa

This Man is TALENTED !!!

Just his voice and guitar.....reminds me of Doc.

After I learned Cocaine Blues, it always screws me up trying to play Brown's Ferry Blues.. Glad I am not the only one...lol

There I come from in the rain and the eaves young

😊love the no look picking on Nashville blues. 😁 Now he’s playing left handed🙃…simply the most versatile and accomplished player. Never was to much on bluegrass but now I can’t put it down.

Sweet stuff going on here ...
