Whew we, that was some mighty fine a pickin’ and a singin’

What's amazing about Billy Strings is that his technique lies in the right hand, or the strumming hand. Dude is playing arpeggios, strumming chords, and running up scales all simultaneously

My only regret is I have but one like to give.

“Momma will shoe my feet, daddy will glove my hand” that’s a line from the stagecoach days. If Billy lived in the times of the Wild West he would be a mythical legend. some of his playing is unbelievable. the runs where he does doubles, then next he does triples man that’s unrealistic for most guitar player but he makes it look effortless.

If music cannot heal this broken nation, nothing can. Beautiful man, beautiful!

July 20th.my B-DAY, listening to billy, sitting on my 1969 Yamaha modafied 175 dirt.7:44am. Thanks billy.

Your incredible Billy! I had a brain injury in 2009, and left me with a spinal cord injury. I’m 62 now and have played for 45 years, I list alit of my ability after my accident, but still giving it all I have! Your such an amazing talent, and inspiration to me to keep going! God bless you brother, and thanks for your incredible music!

To the two thumbs down, you have my deepest sympathy for your lack of ability to recognise a blinding talent when it's right in front of your sad faces.

I can't believe I get this show for free!! Billy Strings has the most beautiful iteration of "all gas, no brakes" hahaha

Holy crap! This dude shreds it! What a talent. I just stumbled on him because I play. I will never be able to play like that. Wow he is ridiculous. Can’t believe I got that for free. Thanks Billy!

Billy, damnit... You bring my soul such joy/happiness/contentment/pleasure.... just about every positive feeling there is out there. Love ya, man.

ive benn waiting for a talent like you to come my way.......i am amazed and content with the amount of the knowlege and wealth of old school music. wow.. not to mention your talent....ty billy....i am really blown... i hope you come close so i can hear one of your shows......my family would be so proud to see you all together, although we cannot because of the passing of many...i know they can hear you now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The guitar break in Little White Church in the Valley was beyond sick! The accuracy and complexity of Billy's flatpicking is absolutely stunning.

So moved and transformed by this man's playing..I thought I was gone..but like a Phoenix rising from the flames, I feel alive and happy to be so.. your share is amazing..and I pray they keep coming..thank you.

Billy's playing right handed just for the hell of it.... :D He is just amazing. His take on Bluegrass is just fantastic . And the fact that he makes videos like this shows what kind of guy he is !

The strength, flexibility and dexterity in your fingers and hand buddy is phenomenal.

This is a super talented man

His version of Don’t Let Your Deal Go Down at 23:18 is by far the best version of the song that I’ve ever heard.

All I can do is Bow and say I am so thankful for what you have done, and what you continue to do. Been playing along time 40+ years and you continue to warm my soul. Thank you Billy and the band.

Billy has given my love for music a new breath of life. That boy can play n chant a tune

Would like to nominate him to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame already. Phenomenal!!!

Thank you Billy

Face in the crowd made me cry. Gonna go deep on some of these covers I didn't know

Is Billy a living breathing jukebox? The man can pull any tune from nowhere and play it better than it's ever been played before whether it's his song or someone else's!

Pale Yellow Rose was absolutely amazing.

Loved it - thank you so much Billy for the music

thank you for everything . I am your biggest fan lost in France and I have the impression that you play for me and it's perfect

some people receive their talent and bring back one, some bring back five, some ten, Billy brings back 10,000. wowza!

I used to wonder why he would work for free with these videos, thinking maybe it’s his love of music. Then I heard him in an interview, lamenting “I haven’t practiced in two days!!” He’s improving his chops while entertaining us. This is how I like him best. The guitar is the most amazing instrument.

Ever since I heard don’t let your deal go down by flatt and Scruggs I’ve been in love with the song

Billy your are the best flat picker of all times no one else can play right or left hand as you can amazing .hope you have a long life God bless you

your guitar skills are amazing, and your voice is all about the bluegrass..gives me chills man, appreciate the music!!

Billy I saw your livestream reminds me of all that Doc i heard when i was a kid did not know anyone else heard him there is hope

You can play like this if you have 2 things. 1. God given talent and 2. Basically play every waking minute.

First watched Sam chatmon play this years ago and I’m really pleased I’ve found this…. Love it 🇬🇧👊

Thank you Sir!

A most excellent and blessed musician and guitarist. I could tell by the tattoos that he wasn't playing left handed although I. Bet he could, He's that good. David Healy.

Thanks Billy!

Thank you Jaden, found it when I went over to sub-scribed to your Channel, awesome Jaden💚🙏💚,,,,, Cheryl ☯️

Brilliant as ever! Thank you, Billy, for doing a lockdown gig. Love your version of Make Me Down a Pallet On Your Floor!!!

phenomenal!

I’ve been playing guitar for over 40 years. I must stop now..

Amazing bro.. 👊🏽

Love the Del pic in the background!

I'm amazed left handed too! Loved it.

My first ever time hearing In the Baggage Coach Ahead... fucking beautiful and so so so sad :(

Lad is phenomenal!!!!

I Hear the Musical wind atmosphere Breezing up the musical highway Oh It's Billy Strings Melody& harmony arpeggios 6 Sounds all in one Guitar

Love you Billy

Thanks

Mighty fine, mighty fine.

I turned 40 this day of this stream!!!!

I wish I could play half as good!! :-)

More Billy St. Please!

Cool .. Mississippi John Hurt lyrics ... my favorite version...

Okay I just stopped crying and blubbering and read the first comment and now I know who wrote the song. Gussie L Davis. Thanks

The best dude

YEAHHH BILLY.......YEAAAHHHH

Billy is approaching Chet Atkins level of virtuosity. What will his picking be like, when he is 50 years old?

TNX a lot from Omsk, Russia!

The best l never heard

Go billy👍

Wonderful! Do you have a sequel? Livestream 2

Am I crazy or is Mr lotsopA rock out with his socks out strumming it hard left handed. No, way willyee would be so savage I must be losing my mind.

Best flat picker alive today. Yeah I am a fan

That little thing he starts doing at 26:41 you dont hear that from just anybody, he's traveling some serious backroads here.

Del Yeah !

Google got Billy at 714 songs he can play Bringing to end, & know the lyrics by heart. But that's bound to be low. 524 on his set list. I consider that amazing

I love me a good guitar solo derail-and-safe. Not that Strings has many of those, but 7:00 - 7:06 is pretty legendary, me thinks.

Shiet this is gold, im already transcribing it

Jaden miller cleaned it up before I could ask lol, didn’t know if it was camera trickery or if he got bored and started playing lefty 😂😂

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hey man just random question did you ever take lessons or anything or is it all natural?

Track listing/ set list with original artists?

I love make me a palet on floor 🎶♥️ 🌛🌕🌜Billy is 🐐 1ofakind

Am I crazy or is Mr lotsopA rock out with his socks out strumming it hard left handed. No, way willyee would be so savage I must be losing my mind,,,

Hey what it is with him playing his git box backwards

Manifest..must come forward which what you want

What is the fiddle tune a15:10

Billy man I’m curious how much of this was improvised? No big deal man if you don’t message me back.

My only regret was buying a bandana of his during covid 2020. They told me, " I'm sorry it's not the normal size of bandanas but theres no refunds". I said i dont want a refund just a bandana that fits my head.😂

bile dat cabbage down, son ... bile dat cabbage down.

Billy is NOT playing left handed in this video. He was using the front camera on his phone when he recorded this video and it created a flipped effect, appearing as he's playing left handed but he ain't. Sorry for confusion!

I showed this video to my guitar a hundred times and it still can t play it.

Bluegrass’s Derek Trucks.

Af hverju 😮

This man plays guitar better than many of the greats. And he does it either hand, left or right. WTF 😮

Talent...with a capitol "T"

Can someone identify the song “ A Face in the Crowd?”

Tabernacle happen it did?

Did not know he played left handed guitar! WOW! LOL

Is this a left hand guitar? All other Billy's videos he's playing right handed.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

Ég ætla að fara í smástund.

what is up with the left handed stuff sounds great must be the video type
