@@alisoncole3211 send your email for some of my music

@@singerjahmusic WHY ? ?

Music cures the soul. Good to play,better to watch,best to listen and learn!

Don't be depressed. Think of the sick and the needy. Think of the blessings we have. I know it's got to be really difficult. Kindly try.

Same here!

Hello ; Traduct in Frech please ! Kiki there it's so beautifull ! Kiki des bois jolis @gmail.com!

And proper jam etiquette that so many at local jams don’t do in their quest to drown everyone out

And Billy does the exact same when sharing a stage with up and coming young musicians. It’s all about the music

for real

True!

Ive never whiped my ass so happily.

dont judge me

Hell yeah!

I think they are man...

Almost?

That's called musical fluency.

they are

Они черти, слишком круто для людей.. :-))

Hello Alan how are you doing to I hope you are safe and in good health... I'm Patti from California.

I was thinking the same thing, the kid must have monster balls to get up there with TE, but that kid Billy is amazing!

@@allan2098 - Billy is not shy. He's very similar to Tommy from a psych standpoint. Playing is EVERYTHING.

Joscho and billy are great improvisers

Who's number two?

What I want to play the guitar so bad but its scarey to watch how they play I could never ever ever make my fingers do what theres do!!! I would die for fingers and talent in guitar playing like both those guys!!!! Wow!!!

You aren't alone, watch guitar teachers and musicians react to Tommy's playing. Most simply say that they can't do what he's doing...

@@thomasgreen4712 feed the feeling...get comfortable with the idea that you will suck...get to work...and if playing like this remains your goal, it’s possible in 10-15 years. (You could be playing covers of these songs within 2-3 years, but to actually attain mastery on the instrument where you could improvise, compose, and perform at this level it’s 10-15). With the pandemic, you got nothin but time mate ;)

I watched a Chet Atkins documentary o here a week ago and when people were talking about him they basically said what everyone in these comments are. I could never do. But yes. Yes you can. I can play Tommy’s tunes, granted not as great as he does, but I can. In that Chet documentary someone, his name escapes me currently, said “well I can’t be impossible. He’s playing it.” Take it a measure at a time if you have to. You can play it. You just can’t play it right now.

@@adamlaxmusic I mostly agree with you, but some things, most just physically can't do. Like when Tommy's version of Classical Gas, where he anchors his thumb on the Low 'E' string, and moves his fingers over a 5 fret range. There might be a work around but it's pretty amazing. Love a reviewer who basically said he physically couldn't do that, and that it required 10's of thousands of hours to learn. Love discussing this, as I get to listen to this wonderful collaboration each time!

It's because his idol was Chet Atkins and when Tommy was young Chet went out of his way to be kind to Tommy and encourage him. Now he gets to do the same for Billy

There’s a lot of similarities between those two and Dimebag Darrell

@@bebopalloobop Texas spirit?)

Jorma and David Bromberg would like to have a word, LOL! No, but I get what you are saying!

Look up Dennis agajanian

Him and tommy are friends

@@chrisklein2118 This isn't a pissing contest here. They are all great musicians. "Two of the best" means there is more of the best guitarists and here is two of them.

@@Terbie36 It was a joke..."LOL" means "Laugh Out Loud", as in when one makes an attempt at humor. You should try it sometime, it can be quite fun.

He most definitely deserves to be on stage with Tommy. Very few could say that.

Could you tell me, please...!!!!who can play guitar better than ALIP BA TA...!!!!

Фантастика!! Можно сказать, они не только музыканты, но и оранжировщики- композиторы@!

@@noryy7306 😂😂

Billy Strings is our Beethoven

I feel the same way!

Я думал с дедом играет его дочь или внучка !

@marian koniuszko n

fuel a nuclear plant... too funny!

It must be so joyful to be able to play like this ! They are so lucky🤓

Yes yeah no

😂

Andy has to keep his action High because he picks so hard even more insanity

Greatness = Talent PLUS Hardwork. Right on, man!

how's the new guitar lol?

@@dudecafe 😂😂😂😂

@@dudecafe to be fair the regular old decent guitarist isn't doing this. This is top lvl stuff

Its even better when they lose rhythms and gravity snaps em back together. Thats the jam tension you just cant teach

ขอบคุณครับ

Very good play nice

amen and amen.

Tommy plays faster but Billy’s picking is about as clean as it gets. How they can hop onstage together, no rehearsal, having never played together before, and pull THIS off is a question for the philosophers

You do those kind of things when you’re confident enough in yourself to where you don’t have to show everybody how great you are because everybody already knows how good Tommy is anyway

@@ljbull33 I was referring to the musicianship. The level of musicianship. Like the musicians who support each other. It has nothing to do with greatness or everybody knowing how great you are. Even new musicians experience this. My uncle helped a 4 year old set up his pillow, pots and pans drum kit, beside his Ludwig kit. Band practice in my Grandparents living room. Vocalist, Double Bass, electric guitar, drums and a horn section, trumpet, tenor sax, piano, plus a 4 year old on pillow drums. I played with my uncles band for years.

Have some faith bro

my thoughts exactly!

Это круто Ещё раз гляну

Tenacious D and the pick of destiny 👏🏻🔥

I couldn’t agree more this brought a huge smile to my face 🤤🎸🔥

Hello 👋 Mark. How are you doing? Hope you are fine, I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where you are from? You seem like a real country girl

If he keeps picking that thing it won't ever get well!

​He's healing it

@@RB2417 I mean it's a relationship

@@RB2417 a oneness

That was so enjoyable already knew how good Billy was and everybody knows have a good Tommy S just think if they got together and practiced

Billy Strings does it already: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q6lgh7OfuNqtlpc.html

Billy Strings needs no introductions. He's big enough in his own right, and possibly even the better guitar player of the two.

@@HermitHippyyes, yes and (respectfully) no

And to think this is their careers! Blessed.

Wa nix me fehlt

You can see the friendship and mutual respect.

Its stunning. I could watch him play on mute and still be blown away.

Tommy is obviously a fantastic player flat and fingerpicking, but I don't think he holds a candle to Billy's flatpicking black magic.

@@philidor9657 7

You don't hit the frets tho.. lol

@@kennywillis5532.......Heck I don’t know, I just love the way he plays. Sounds smooooooth🤪

@@philidor9657 You're right. But both have their strengths.... Tommy's rhythm at the end is insane, Billy was having to stick to the bass line to keep up!

Sounds way better than any electric guitar playing in my opinion, and I'm a big Led Zep and PF fan but I always prefer the acoustic.

.............. And all off the cuff. They are just feeding off each other. Just jamming away and making it look easy.

I feel glad to be 100th like of your beautiful comment ❤

Amazing!!!

😊🎉❤😂

Right on there.

That's not just any young guy.

@@bbunters Of course, he's truly amazing, too. But more often than not a big name won't allow anyone else to shine so much. TE could have easily amped up his own playing and hogged the solos, especially on his signature song Guitar Boogie, but he appears to enjoy playing WITH this guy instead of asserting his own stardom.

the man is truly a gift to all guitar players. I met him and he is absolutely right on! My greatest mentor. GOD BLESS MR TOMMY!

@@stevesheldon8616 Billy seems easygoing and likeable. He produces a nice, round tone. Unbelievable note separation, very good clarity and power. Everyone could benefit by playing with him.

@@pertjacanapeI'll bet all 3 of Billy's fan appreciate you approval

Billy is the exact same way! Brings out the best in his fellow players. That’s the sign of a truly great musician

NOT to make comparisons, but, ummmm, I think he outdid Tommy, IMHO. Billy's licks were every bit as fast, but so much clearer and deliberate and a bit more musical. IMHO.

@@aaronheine3517 No he isn't. There is no 'best', music is subjective stop being a fanboy. TE is just different, and plays with swing and expression which some people prefer instead of being robotic.

@@aaronheine3517 I always feel bad about such comparisons; Tommy E. has been such an astonishing talent and musical blessing to me, but fingers get older; that's just the way of it. Some young guy will have my job one day, too! Everything I've seen of Billy is that he's respectful of the past, as one who stands on its shoulders should be!

And, in fairness, they are not from precisely the same musical foundation, so their talents also vary.

​@steveandsarahrutledge9105 well, you are wrong)

Same hahahaha

Why? Get inspired by guys like this. One can learn from this type of talent.

@@cjjore5686 👍

nah, don't stop. If you can tap it out on your steering wheel or school desk, you'll get it and NEVER let that who's better altitude get in your way

😂😂😂

You and me both! Just uplifting.

👍

There is an age difference but both are brimming with youth.

@@johntechwriter I’m

Uh... are you from Pennsylvania by chance? My aunt has exactly the same name. 😎🇺🇸

Yes ! Including Jerry Reed, Roy Clark, Sonny Landreth, Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, etc. . . Frightening speed !

If you listen only the real music , you definitely vote it down ...

@@ardaguven8470well if only you are musician player, ofc you'll vote it up

Yes, although I miss Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins.

Chet could convey the same depth of feeling playing 1/4 as many notes. But it's all good when you get to this league.

@@johntechwriter Give the young bloke some time to get there.

The music is epic too☺

Doppietta che fuoco

Hey Ken. Raised just outside of Charlotte. Folks do not realize the effect Arthur had on rock, soul, country, and BEACH MUSIC. From James Brown to Maurice Williams, Hazel Martin, then over to the bluegrass and old mountain styles. A man about everything. As a kid remembered his musicians Don Reno, David Deese, Wayne Haas, Ray Atwood and his wife, Tommy Faile, 'brother Ralph', George Hamilton iv, Donald Ange (keyboards) and others. Arthur Smith and the Crackerjacks, later "Carolina Calling" with Jim Patterson. Big lists, big names like Roy Clark, Glen Campbell, Ronnie Milsap, and even actor George Hamilton appeared on his show. His brother Sonny was also a big influence in their beginnings. Roots of regional American music, Arthur Smith.

@@sandburgmartin7947 You are so right. I remember "Carolina Calling." I am 64, and I used to love to watch the locally produced music shows. Can't get those anymore. Tommy and Billy went for a deep cut here.

@@sandburgmartin7947 you really took me back in time. Beach music and the Shag were popular when I was a teenager around town. Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs played a Christmas party at my work in 1978. He was pretty old by then. They must have played STAY about 6 times that night. 🙂

Fccv!

They are in genius mode!

Tommy did say “ just play guitar man”

No words ARE necessary!

My arms cramped up just watching them.

Come on guys,,seriously?? I play that just to warm up...... But then I wake up and everything ends 😆😆😆😆🎸🎸🎸

@Hello Chris how are you doing
