There's no such strings as Dee Addario . So what strings are they? You say Da darrio b/c it's shorter and easier than Da Addario... Make sensio....?? COOL Cool-iario ! WE EVEN

Not likely.

Evan Dando did most of this stuff years ago just using his fingers ...too tech

I name this style of music Spacegrass

@@russellzauner I've been trying to pinpoint it; hard bluegrass, acid bluegrass. Spacegrass? I think you've done it, excellent. Thanx!

Same dude

Bro same

looked like young David Gilmour to me! Yep , I got sent to me Dust in a Baggie too, so glad they did!

Same thing for me. He pops up in my recommended list. Never heard of him before . 24 hours later I’ve been binge watching every video I can find of him.

Ditto. Just suggested it tonight.

yesss

Everyone else

yup, but i aint complaining lol, absolute legend

Me too...This Guy Smokes those strings...#BillyStringsKingofStrings !!!

lol

😂😂

Well... Billy eventually goes on to say "yeah I play hard so I guess it is a little high."

Lol ya that interview such a damn square we want to see Billy, not you interview square

@J G There's this guy who had a super low action. Chet Atkins. Not sure if you've heard of him? lol. But I loved watching Chet play and how his fingers just glided over the strings.

If it's not "high" enough, it'll just buzz! 🙈🙉🙊🐵😂💯

this is the first interview ive watched after watching everything he plays, hes seems so down to earth and approachable

This guy makes me wanna throw my guitar out the window…. 😬

Goddamn right he is lol

Reminds me of the guy that just found Volbeat lol WHAAAAAT ISSSSS THISSSSS

russell zauner where is said guy?? I want to watch lol

Must've been the dust in the baggie

I was thinking the same thing. Nashville meth is super clean.

Ha! I thought that 😁🤘

He's gonna have to eventually. SRV did. Young hands inevitably give way to old hands

Victory Mansions Billy, you’re doing just fine buddy! Don’t change a thing!

Sooooo, have you made it to a Billy show yet?

@@chrismadden9693 lol. I was gonna ask but I’m afraid he died in the pandemic?? Haha

Have the Clapton model you guys make. Beautiful work of art. Have it in sunburst. Now if Martin will start making a D-28 with a neck like the Marquis again. 🙏🏼🤞🏼

Nah theyre intimidated and not where shit is headed. The purist freaked out when dylon went electric.

@Russell E Simonetta Ha! No doubt. Some people want time to stand still, trying as they will to deny the fact that as time moves forward things evolve and grow. . Especially things ofan aesthetic nature, such as music!

@@ga0425 If everyone thinks this way, then eventually the traditional roots will be lost forever. That's why the purists get upset.

@Tom Noble I understand where you’re coming from Tom, but I just don’t see that happening. I look around and I see people in all sorts of different arenas, dedicating their spare time if not their lives re-creating the past. For instancete Society For Creative Anachronism & other renaissance fair type organizations that emulate, study and try to re-create as best they can aspects of the mid evil times. I’ve seen it extended to medieval Japan and other Ancient, Asian cultures. There are Civil War re-creationists that go deep into the cultures & ways of life of that particular time in history. Not just the battlefield stuff. And to some degree, I guess steam punk. Emulating and tried to re-create and live like a certain area of past history. When it comes to music, first thing that comes to mind is symphony and orchestra music. It’s been taken, embraced and modernized throughout the last few centuries. Yet the majority of performances in any town or city that has an orchestra, will be painstakingly, accurate Presentations of what the original composer actually wrote, performed on instruments that existed at the original times of composition. To me, music of any style or genre, is one of the greatest things about being alive. To experience music live, again for me at least, is one of the greatest things ever in the entire history of greatest things. My intention wasn’t to criticize or put down purism and roots. I believe history of any subject is extremely important and valuable. (I’m saddened at the apathy & lack of curiosity so many people seem to have when it comes to historical knowledge in this modern world). I was trying to express that it shouldn’t matter if someone’s branching away from tradition or purism, as long as they are having fun. If others are having fun being a part of it or even just observing it, there should be no criticism or concern. Because people are having fun. (Full disclosure, I’m pro fun) I also believe that there will always be people, perhaps like yourself, that derive their greatest amount of pleasure and maximum fun from the more pure, traditional roots of music. And as long as people Of that nature make sure they share their knowledge of the roots of any genre with others, be it through performance or conversation, I truly believe that the concern you expressed won’t stand a chance of happening.

this dude gets it .

Cocaine vs weed

He is an amazing player . However, I must say his live show was a bit one dimensional.

@@crisprtalk6963 I hope they are using this break to work on new material. I hear ya....

We need to support Billy Strings by buying his music and encouraging our friends to do the same!

Poor Perry. People always putting him on blast for the yayo.

@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer lmao.. dunno whether or not you're joking, but I get where they're coming from..

😂😁

Lol that’s Perry. He’s just like that.

If I was interviewing Billy Strings, I'd be pretty jumpy too 😂

it really happened or just joke?

that's absolutely not true. pretty much all the great players were 'naturals'.

@@bjornegan6421 As a performer I can tell you that’s absolutely not true. you can have all the natural talent in the world but it takes practice practice practice

@@ChrisB5String i didn't say it didn't take practice. what i'm saying is no amount of practice can make up for talent.

@@bjornegan6421 no amount of talent will exclude you from practice. It’s a mute point. Quantifying talent is something that can really only be done in retrospect and even then is always going to be to some degree subjective. Practice is measurable and IMO the true necessity in growing or developing talent. Anyone who you can name as an example of talent is equally an example of time and effort.

@@mattpropp9192 no

I doubt the he's a multimillionaire at this point but I'm sure he's making a good living.

Multimillionaires have guitar techs. He said he doesn’t have one. I hope he becomes one though. He’s a great player.

Those are mediums for acoustics.

hes a beast

That's not unusual for Bluegrass.

Will That’s normal for bluegrass.

@powbobs So you’re saying Indica/Sativa hybrid, not just straight Indica?

Definitely savant, very devoted, or both IMHO. Currently my one word description is "Boat" ('Beast' of all time) on his way to being a Goat... he's a 'kid'. jeje

Saw Jeff in Mexico. He was one of the best.

ever? hardly, but he is amazing..

@@svenlittlecross He is a kid!!LOL.

@@tomreichard5337 oh then i change my mind

@@svenlittlecross no offense meant here. He is a fantastic player. I was just responding to the comment about him being like a kid in a candy shop.

@@tomreichard5337 sorry man didn't realize, cheers!

This is what moves us forward :)

That was basically.tommy emmanuels rig rundown lol

And some not so young

Scarred but smarter!

Hope your teeth are okay

After a song titled "no more paper logs", well, "Rig Rundown" could happen. I want to hear him with some bagpipes in the band.

Nice to see honest mistake. Every industry has there lingo. In Texas a RIG produces beautiful black gold, crud oil. Performance roadie lingo I heard in college, "not my end of the snake", the snake is the main cable bundle from the center control console to the stage.

Ha ha

@@brutallyremastered4255 ya a song about roughneckin'

This is a great series, I don't play and don't know what all this stuff is but I like hearing them talk about it and make cool sounds.

@Tanner Ross Damn. Those two seem to always be on your case. Squares.
