Say what you want...this is some of the tastiest and cleanest flatpicking you will ever hear anywhere. Just accept it...this guy is smoking on this. Doesn't take away from any of the other greats out there.
This gives me fuckin chills dude. The amount of practice time he has put in to become that fuckin fast is just insane. That right there is what hard work and dedication will get ya.
Check out Dan crary. One of the original leading lights in flatpicking. Used mossman first, the predecessor to Taylor, and he uses Taylor now and has his own signature model
I agree, metal shredders and sweep pickers need to step aside. Doing what they do is _easy_ compared to playing this fast and clean on an acoustic. The distortion and the fact that electric guitar is easier to play in general really, really helps shredders play fast. With acoustic flatpicking, you have none of those crutches at all and have to pick every single note perfectly clean or it is obvious that you flubbed a note (with electric guitars, flubbed notes aren't as obvious). Real crazy talent here. Put this guy on an electric guitar and he could easily shred as fast or faster than the best of them, no problem.
@@STSGuitar16 as a guy who plays metal shred guitar i completely agree.. This stuff is so damn hard to do compared to standard stock electric guitar shred.
STSGuitar16 I’m not so sure about that, as he’s never actually move his fingers as fast as the electric greats do. Many of them, at least at the way top, if you turn off their distortion it’s still very clean. But there is definitely fudge factor that you get with electric guitars and I’d put this guy’s level of precision on par with the top 10% of the very best electric guitar players no doubt.
Ole boy is a machine!! Doesn’t need to sleep or eat! Just needs an oil change is all! I’m glad he didn’t catch a spark on one of those frets because that Taylor would have caught fire! Seriously though wtf??? SO AWESOME
Wow. there are SO many great pickers now, this dude is SMOKIN'! That Taylor has the Expression pickup setup, and it's one of the best setups for clear recording.
Seeing these guys live is just unreal - so incredible! I notice the guitarist doesn't use his pinky when playing leads - or at least not much. Yep - never stopped Django either!
Man this is amazing! The speed is unbelievable, but what I also admire is that you can hear the chord changes within the solos which is hard to accomplish in my opinion. Bravo! 👏
All I can say is Awesome Trey!!! I miss seeing all the gang from Limestone and Jonesboro TN ! I'm still living in the Mountains though, just the North Georgia ones. We have some pretty good pickers around here but I think we could mix a little East Tennessee heat with the North Georgia Grass and y'all be Burnin Atlanta !!!
Ben Shavers and I agree with that, I don’t try to play at top warp speed, I can, but don’t like To and don’t want, but I’m also not gonna bash on dudes that can
Trey Hensley you both are both absolutely world class. I always hate to choose, this one is better then other. But although Billy is also transcending barriers , i think you got a tick there on him. I just love the musicality of you both ....
Neil D Rachlen hey...I’m alternating between down-up-down and double down-up. I normally use a lot of down-up-down on faster tunes. I don’t have a specific technique for what picking pattern I use, but hopefully this helps!
And this comment section made me realize that bluegrass fans are overly fickle and way too worried about little things. Who cares if he’s playing a Taylor? It ain’t the end of the world, and he plays better than you. Deal with it and appreciate the talent
I have been playing guitar for twenty years but have not been even close to what this dude is doing with his guitar. This is sick. Mind-blowing.
Same, haha. Time to take up knitting or something!
I could play the guitar for 50000000 years and I wouldn't be even 10% as good and Trey!
I've been playing for 55 years so when I hear stuff like this, I feel like using my guitars as kindling

They performed at my school yesterday and they are seriously amazing
First Taylor I've seen used by a flatpicker. Awesome, guys!
Check out Dan crary. One of the original leading lights in flatpicking. Used mossman first, the predecessor to Taylor, and he uses Taylor now and has his own signature model
Respect to these fine players.
That's truly some extremely serious Dobro in the background as well!
Playing that fast on an acoustic guitar is no mean feat. In fact it's extraordinarily fast.

@@RADIOACTIVEBUNY he is talking about his picking
@@STSGuitar16 yup
When Trey drop tunes and the guy flips out, Rob gets this look of pride on his face like "yeah I've got one of the best guitar players ever"
My favorite utube guitar video of all time
I'm a big fan of blue grass music

lawd that boy high on da kakayne
This humbles me as a guitar player every time I see him
Bet look up this song by Billy Strings

Just brilliant....and even better live.. memorable to say the least 💙
Now that's some bluegrass guitar picking son
Look at that pick hand.. these guys are great
I need a double like button for that!
Great job man. Just keep on running. Keep on running. May God bless you. Chuck
That is some sweet guitar and steel
Seeing these guys live is just unreal - so incredible! I notice the guitarist doesn't use his pinky when playing leads - or at least not much. Yep - never stopped Django either!
Fantastic!!
Can't wait to see these guys in Woodbridge, wow!
Man this is amazing! The speed is unbelievable, but what I also admire is that you can hear the chord changes within the solos which is hard to accomplish in my opinion. Bravo! 👏
Lovely picking and licks fantastic
some mighty fine pickin and a grinin
Love this
All I can say is Awesome Trey!!!

Anybody see the smoke trails coming off his fingers? Wooh! That should coax a few pickers out of the woods... :) love it.
Best Duo in Bluegrass
Awesome
Just hard to wrap your head around how amazing these two guys are. Amazing..!
whoooo!... smokinnnn'!
more licks than a giant carnival lollipop.
Awesome Guys. Look forward to seeing you at Roswell, Ga. Riverside Park
Allsome man yall are so good
straight up blazer
WOW! That's some mighty fine pickin'. Wish the camera would've stayed focused, it looks away at some of the best parts! Just awesome!
Wow that guy gets the job done!!!
I’m learning the guitar at the minute and I only hope I can one day be half as good as this guy! Unbelievable is spot on!
Tip if you want to play like him you better go to the cross roads with a new born.
Making any progress yet? It's been 12 months.
Let's see that progress
That’s the best damn banjo playin’ I’ve ever heard..
I didn't hear a banjo break. Guess you don't need one with that guitar picking. But, my opinion the banjo needs to be a part of this.
@@michaelangelo9024 dude's probably referring to the dobro
Amazing
I’d be a Free Born man if I could slay either instrument like those two.
That was sick BRO WTF
just perfect
Those licks are hot!
Anyone who can pick like that can play any damn brand of guitar he pleases. Get bent y'all.
Shawn Byrne
Always wanted to see Tony Rice's kids...... Freeborn boy!
Most adequate sir, thank. This was deffinately more fun to watch than Dolan Trump.
Badass🤘🔥🤘
Pelo amor de Deus que coisa absurdamente incrível...
Go Braves!
unbelivable
Man this guy had been to the cross roads and also sold all his family!! That speed did not come from any natural force!
Sounds like you have some Tony Rice going on here. Nice!
I’d like to have the tabs for those runs, but they wouldn’t fit on my computer.
This Boy is Killer'
Yeah baby..... YEAH!
thankyou
For once ....the title truly says it all.... brilliant !!!!
🎤 has been dropped!! Piece out!! Excuse me while I go bust my guitar up into toothpicks....😢
That's "Ludicrous Speed"!
Wow. Guys must sit for hours on end pickn away...day after day after day....concentrating on finger movements. I mean...holy shit.
I believe that is the Taylor 510e LFTD
Trey💪😎🎸🎵🎶🎵🎶
Somebody sold their soul to the devil
So many jealous people on here... 99% chance that everyone on this thread that’s hating on him even has the ability to even open his case.

Speed isn't important.
It's not how much you say
But what you say.
Ben Shavers and I agree with that, I don’t try to play at top warp speed, I can, but don’t like To and don’t want, but I’m also not gonna bash on dudes that can
this is soooo hot
Damm he Tony ricing Tony rice...
Anybody can dive bomb !!!!! LOL 4:10
all I can say is "Fuck Yeah!!".
Look out Martin guitars there's a new kid in town and his name is Taylor
HEY DOES SOMEBODY KNOW IF TABS EXISTIEREN??
Hensley is great!!!! check out Billy strings he's not any slouch either
Troy Abel Thank you very much for the kind words! Billy is awesome!
Trey Hensley you both are both absolutely world class. I always hate to choose, this one is better then other. But although Billy is also transcending barriers , i think you got a tick there on him. I just love the musicality of you both ....
Gee I own a Taylor just like that one but mine doesn't sound quite that good ;)
cool ;)
Holy shit.....😲
Fucking smokin'!!
Good Lord that is busy
Dammmmmm
Bored Of Bills if you had half the talent that Trey does don't worry you don't.
YEAH! +Bored Of Bills--the only playing he can likely do involves taking his pants off!
Exefuckinglent
Even better than the Tony Rice version. Great musicians!
No doubt, the guys chops are awesome. But I bore quickly of just a speed picking demonstration.
Is he doing double down ups ?Please someone
Neil D Rachlen hey...I’m alternating between down-up-down and double down-up. I normally use a lot of down-up-down on faster tunes. I don’t have a specific technique for what picking pattern I use, but hopefully this helps!
Trey Hensley thanks for your response! Truly some of the best picking regardless of what it is!
realmusic
Ritchie Blackmore from Deep Purple brought me here
I bet he goes through 20 guitar picks a week!!!
What song is this? What's the title?
Nevermind, "Freeborn Man"
Bruno S. Melo
look for the junior brown version
God damn beast of a picker right there.
Damn lol
I personally account for 109k of these views
what song is that ??
Freeborn man
Certified Taylor guitar co gangsta hood moment
Worst part of the video - when Trey plays some wicked dimished lick and the camera pans away from his hands 😭
Can someone please explain to me what just happened here? You are the S@&T!!! I am in brother!!!!!!!
It's hard driving bluegrass at 8 in the mornin' with 2 of the best bluegrassers rn
I'll bet he replaces his strings twice a week picking like that
This man sold his soul to Morgan Freeman's nuts
Get someone who can flatpick and you have something Rob. SENSATIONAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
