Or, at the very least you're on the platform that will take you many places.

Yes Amen! I agree on stage jamming with Tommy Emmanuel Billy has definitely arrived! Awesome!

I'd never heard of either one of them... Till about 3 hours ago. I clicked on a pic with a short haired nerd sitting on a couch and a skater standing in the background. After I picked my jaw up off the floor, I been following Billy all over youtube, discovering more musicians I never heard of. Wishing once again that I would have spent every spare minute of my life with my grandma before she died, instead of hanging out getting wasted with other losers like myself. Grandma could play several instruments proficiently, and sing too. She could even yodel while playing an accordian. Sing Johnny cash songs while playing the guitar. Play piano while grandpa sang all them old songs. Hank Williams and the like. She was a genuine musician that loved performing with flair and style. She connected with it on a joy level. She would have *loved* watching this kid perform. I don't know what happens after we die. But I hope there's music there. And that she is fucking jamming it with grandpa and her parents. My great grands. Also multi talented musicians. I could play a pretty mean box of Kleenex right now.

Gary Venture my dads side of the family we’re all southern gospel and bluegrass musicians. I know exactly what you mean about spending more time listening and learning. There actually is music in heaven. Just give you heart to Jesus and you will be listening to grandparents old music again one day.

That was the most insane shredding I think I've ever watched...

yes indeed that kid from Michigan's going to go far..

It also says a lot about Tommy Emmanuelle that his ego isn't too big to let someone else play some solos. They both look happy, because they are both having a genuine good time.

@@PFB1994 Real musicians feed off of other good musicians ... playing with someone that is great is more fun than playing alone for sure. For those that care about music and not attention anyways.

You should stop by the Walnut Valley Festival. Tommy is practically a regular and it's filled with acoustic bad asses for days.... Literally

While most young guitarists come out of music studios and conservatories, Billy Strings came out of a trailer near a small town in the middle of nowhere. There is something authentic about him that sets him apart.

He has a fondness for metal as well and it often comes through in his solos, what ever it is it’s absolutely amazing, that couch version of dust in a baggie was what set me off.. and this is just off the scale

surprising is good

Well put.

@@nameleven I saw Tommy play with Molly Tuttle and he destroyed her, whereas on this vid with Billy they seemed more on a level.

their communication was beyond language

3:25 Guitars making love.

DreamBeliever365 I do that all the time-lol

HAHA me too!

it's like they don't know when the fart is gonna squeeze out

Macky D man dude, that is crazy. Thanks for the image. 😂

Yup me too, kinda like what you do when you feed a baby.......

Hilarious.

I laughed too hard at that. You win the net....

Thanks for the laugh...sprayed water all over the screen!

Dude, I laughed hard as hell at that.....I feel your pain. Billy Strings, my God.

I a Laughing my ass off! I just felt that exact sentiment! LOL!!!

Indeed, and I thought I heard Billy Strings do a bit of Day Tripper.

@@robsteuteville2599 and black water

james Doctor without a doubt ... incredible

Better than average...lol. I'd love to hear that show some day.

If Billy keeps his nose to the grindstone he will be a legend.

I still think Doc Watson is up there with the best flat pickers ever. Give Doc's rendition of "Deep River Blues" a listen.

@@dancolley4208 amen!!

One and only one.........but it lasted for more than 6 minutes.................

at least 50 times

I almost cried tears of joy

i did not count it boy^^

Once. From beginning to end!

I caught that, too. How many phenomenal guitarists have heard, "oh, yeah, but can you play smoke on the water?" Now we know the two can. Haha

Dont forget we need to add jscho stephan to this duo and make a super trio

Very cool ☝️& humourous…😆🤣

Yeah... i thought i heard Billy reference 'day tripper' too (?)

he threw "Daytripper" in there as well

Spot on

...and that “A” stands for AMAZING! 😳

U bet…👏 🙌 🤙

I do the same thing. I play guitar and anytime i see immense talent like that I laugh cause I know how difficult that is and it's super impressive.

I was laughing too, they were having so much fun:) I do love my guitar:)

Me too. :) First smile from ear to ear, than laugh.

Same... I often do when watching Billy...it's like watching someone levitate. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it.

Amen!

You said it, son!

I may have to steal that cake saying! Fantastic!

"If you want nothing but icing, why did you order the cake?" That's it.

Good one,lol

Was it an Epstein guitar?

@@teej783 this responce deserves a medal

Kim Dossett 😂😂😂

👏👏👏

Hang in there, you'll pick it up & it'll get easier every week. Edit*: its when it seems too easy there might be a problem.

Fantastic players, fantastic technique and lightning-quick thinking--and yet. Neither of them (in this song, at least) even come close to the sexiness of James Burton's original solo. This is a little bit the downside of these endless torrents of 8th notes.

@@locarnese5598 You dont "think" when jamming, in fact when you can play well you dont really think at all, after decades of playing it just flows naturally, theres no time for thought:) If you have to think, you arent there yet:)

@@TheZacdes I do think when I improvise. If you just let muscle memory take over you get technique, which may impress some, but musically it's either repetitive or forgettable.

@@locarnese5598 You cant think fast enough to jam like that:/ Its not "muscle memory", The mind has to be involved, muscles cant play by themselves,lol. Its decades of practice so you know the fretboard so well that you dont have to think consciously to know exactly the many different options you have to get what you want. That jam is not that complicated anyway. A simple blues riff, and blues rundowns and their many variations are some of the first you learn. Granted they do it well, but for Tommy at least thats very simple stuff. I dont know how long you have been playing, but if you still have to think before hitting the strings, you have a long way to go mate:)

True i took acid once and was jimmy hendrix for an evening dont know how i did it but everyone said thell never forget the night i was like billy strings!😂💗

he just never runs out of interesting and fresh sounding lines and licks and runs. both are just so incredible.

66tas95 I miss Phil RIP

Try ANYTHING by Django Reinhardt.

you should watch him play with his daddy. *family strings *

I did Heather, so good
