My first time on this channel, but it’s so great to see someone that truly understands music react to Billy. I just hope he checks out “Turmoil & Tinfoil” too! Bluegrass requires talent, but when bluegrass and heavy metal have a baby is a different level 😂

I love how Billy always looks pleasantly surprised by what his fingers are doing during his solos

Billy is my Nephew. We are very proud of him. You have to check out Turmoil and Tinfoilto get atrue concept of this mad lad’s skills. Not biased or anything…Just saying.

Billy is one of the best living flatpickers in America today even as young as he is.

Bluegrass and jazz musicians are on another level

They're elite. Transitions are crazy

My first Blue Grass festival was in 1974 > Jerry Garcia Old and in the Way > DeadHead> GOAT!! Billy Strings is awesome and couch tour is easy!!

Billy and his band are on tour , get tickets !

Glad you found Billy Strings. if you really want to see some great picking you need to check out Turmoil and Tinfoil live from Music City Roots. Other great songs by Strings include Away From the Mire, Meet Me at the Creek, Heartbeat of America, Watch It Fall, Wargasm and Taking Water.

As a fellow guitar player/ old hippie, if you are into The Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia, Billy has channeled Jerry's spirit! Suggest checking out his more recent output. Peace.

"You can't play bluegrass unless you're really good." Truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love your reaction cuz I LOVE Billie Strings!

Great review! You should also check out Molly Tuttle playing/singing "White Freightliner".

There's a version of this were he's sitting on couch that you should hear. Billy by himself, wow!

I'm seeing him this Friday and Saturday!!!

Billy Strings won the 2019 International Bluegrass Music Association Guitar Player of the Year award in 2019. You might also take a look at Molly Tuttle, who won the award in 2017 and 2018 (the first female guitarist to win). She does a great job on Townes Van Zandt's White Freightliner Blues.

Here for it! Love BMFS! Thank you, new sub

I love that you stepped away from your comfort zone and checked out Billy and his band. I hope that you will check out more by him. You pointed out he was shredding on the guitar; he actually was in a metal band as a teen. In his live shows he is known to cover a wide variety of music including Pink Floyd, Black Sabbeth, Pearl Jam, And the Grateful Dead as well as traditional bluegrass songs....you should even hear what he did to cover of the Cher song "Believe" (He improved that 10,000%). Anyway you should check out maybe a live video or lyric video from one of his last 2 albums, "HOME" or "RENEWAL". Both have Grammys coming from them and both are amazing. Personal favorite from home is Watch it Fall linked here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r59nmrtqtrnbip8.html or try one from renewal my favorite one is "Secrets" linked here in a lyric video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNp_psx-xsC9qX0.html

Awesome

One of the best flat pickers out there 💓💓💓

You should check out the live version of Turmoil and Tinfoil

I tried banjo for a bit but that 5th string isn't easy to get used to. Mandolin is fun & fiddle is just tuned and strung the same, just not doubled & fretless. Edit: if you'd be so kind, Benjamin Tod and The Lost Dog Street Band are incredible songwriters and there's just not enough reactions to them imo. If you have time? Or curiosity?

Would love to hear you react to more virtuoso instrumentalists and weird genres. Try bill wurtz, thundercat, jd beck & domi, vulpeck. Interesting channel. You're obviously more knowledgeable than most reactors. Subbed.

bluegrass is that real shit

Away from the Mire. Suggestion

This was fun, beautiful harmonies 👍 I have a suggestion for you. Brand new song from Swedish band Evergrey, Save Us was released 3 days ago. A rougher, prog metal sound, killer chorus. Hope to see you react to them, 😀🇸🇪

Could you please react to fingerstyle guitarist Luca Stricagnoli? I'd love to get a guitarist's professional opinion.

Billy is better than "really good". He's phenomenal and this doesn't show his full potential. Even though this isn't your genre of music you should checkout some of his live shows. He flat out jams!!!

Billy is going to be an artist that is monumental in the evolution of actual bluegrass music but you need to go way way back and star with the roots. He’s great but you need to listen to the guys that inspires him to fully appreciate him.

"he's good"....uh, no, he's the best.

Billy Strings is the best flat picker of this generation. Turmoil and Tinfoil live at Music City Roots is even better than this performance. Not downplaying this because it was great.

Wrong version bud

"theres that banjo" clearly playing guitar.....L

How do you not know Billy Strings?

Watch freeborn man by billy and don…blow your mind…
