Muscle memory. Repetition, and lots of practice create muscle memory. Musicians develop this uncanny recall ability, and I know because it’s even mystified myself, a musician who’s been playing at the professional level for close to 20 years now.
Kinda feels like seeing a familiar landscape when you're driving. Each lick tells you where to go next. Many times I can't remember lyrics/lines until I play the ones before.
@@gabrielgilliland Exactly. There's no map, it just comes out automatically after doing it over and over. I remember doing songs and sometimes get a flash in my head about " what's the next line" and then quickly just got back into it and it was alright.
Buddy i been listening to buddy since barefoot ben was handing out sidequests lil did i know that billy was bout to add more flavor to my life i hope he’s done the same for you. How was that?
Did him dirty in that thumbnail
Really did 🤣
😂
you really just gonna come here and steal my comment 10 days before i wanted to make it, smh my head
Lmao
Came here to say that exact thing. Looking like a young Mr. Burns 🤣🤣🤣
Bluegrass guitarists are just pure slayers
If you think about it, there's a lot more bluegrass gospel songs about bathing in blood than metal could ever put out.
Yeah they are man some of the best pickers!
Thank you!
@@joehisel5966 I'm going to need the names of those songs please

What I like best is Billy's keeping the old songs alive. Walking encyclopedia of music........
Somewhere in that audience green shirt guy is still holding that unlit cigarette
Shouting out hey remember me man😂
The guy is called "Barefoot Ben"
Still just mungin out on muscles. Bringing joy wherever he goes.
D E E P L O R E
Bare foot Ben THE LEGENDARY FAN.
That type of playing will always impress me more than soloing or shredding.
People's wisdom is the greatest wisdom and this is one of it's jewels.
The best bluegrass flat top picking in this day and time. His guitar sings with him. 👍
I'd give that award to Tommy Emmanuel but Billy strings is up there! Both are beyond amazing.
Naw Trey Hensley smokes him.
@@BryanClark-gk6ie honestly Ive only really seen covers from Trey. Hes insanely good but billy is that good plus incredible songwriting skills
Saved my life!!!
I saw this live - Albino Skunk Music Festival, Greer, SC. Been hooked ever since
When was this?! I’ve been going to Skunk for years, never seen Strings there. Seems a small venue for him now obviously
i just cannot imagine the amount of time of the practice to be this good and play that fast like this. This dude is insane
Ole boy is one of the cleanest guitar pickers this side of the mississippi.
Seen him in concert one of the greatest ones I've seen.
This is 10 mins from where I grew up 😂 so sad I didn’t know about him at the time
Brilliant guitarist and songwriter
So many versions of this song, great folk tune
Billy you make it look so easy. Unfortunately, I am all thumbs 👍. 😂❤
He's a amazing musician .
Best guitar face ever 😂
Incredible talent❤
When asked what it felt like to be the greatest guitar player of all time, Jimi Hendrix replied, “I don’t know, you’d have to ask Billy Strings.”
thumbnail is outrageous
Billy is the Dylan of Bluegrass in my book! Now if we can afford to see him, that will make the musical decade award!
Yeah i wish i coulda seen when he was pickin his way around Michigan.
Ah well
His hair and his songs are legendary
So smooth.
What a great cover.
Technically a rendition, not a cover. Sorry for the pedantry
@@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer fair. Its like a mixture of johnny cash’s cocaine blues and keith richards cocaine blues. Billy’s own version
@@cchia6640 he would have gotten it from Doc Watson, almost note for note I think. Doc started a little before Johnny's time. The song was first recorded in 1928.
@@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer oh damn. I will check that out. Thanks
@@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer ok that is the exact same song lol. You are correct haha
The Taj Mahal homage is great in this song hahahah. Aint nobody's business but my own 😂
The Guitar GOAT!
so geht das!! Danke!!! ❤
Great traditional song.
I really expect a johnny chas cover here. Was pleasantly suprised
That is one hell of a thumbnail
What an appropriate name.
Awesome music
Billy's interview with Theo Von was awesome. Highly recommend
Was present. Albino Skunk Fest. Greer SC. 2013 or 2014, he was there both years. Can't recall which year he wore that.
I want to see him now my favorite blue grass person so far
Billy sure can pick some nasty tunes!
So refreshing to see a quick picker with licker two.
Beast
Note to self: listen to Billy strings.
Great Picker Billy 🎸⭐️✌️
that boy is good
Billy got a Haircut 💇...😊
Looks nice... 🎸 💙 🎤 ✌
yeah years ago
Imagine being highAF around a bunch of old folks. HighAF
Don’t have to, I attended high school.
AMEN
THIS SHIT MEANS SOMETHING TO ME MAN
Billy is ...........now get this .....the super hero of good looking dudes. Go on play that guitar ....go on .....git 😀
Beast!
The man ❤
Cette personne !
Love the OCMS lyrics in there
Billy would have learned them from Doc Watson
Love the message bro love the song but……not tonight 😭😂🤘
BILLY❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fuckin guitar work is insane
Best!
If you’re just discovering Billy PLEASE check out some live shows. Lalapalooza 2022 is a great one, this MF shreds that Martin like it’s a Les paul
His picking is ridiculous!!
Atta boy
Like he ain't gacked out his mind
He only saying what he’s learned mate
😂
He’s sober now bud. He used to be on a lot of stuff. But he’s chillin now.
@@johnnyhammersticks88100%
he said let the cocaine be,
❤️🔥
Just wish cocao wasnt involved
I hope that he can talk with and learn from other artists who were able to quit drugs before it ruined their lives and careers.
Came here for Billy, stayed for the thumb nail
❤❤❤❤
How old is this??
2014 I believe
LETS GO!
Gurning competitions are wild now
Rockon America
good shit
He looks ssoooo young!
What a thumbnail haha
Joker smiling
Is he from the south?
Yep
He sure went a long way from pranking them burglars on Christmas in his home.
That thumbnail tho…😆😆
Didnt know chick fila girl could jam 😅
I have a sneaking suspicion he didnt always let the cocaine be
The present and the future
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Did he credit Dave Van Ronk he kinda stole this no??
Lol Billy is a traditional musician. I doubt he's heard Dave's version
Dedication to Hunter
I didn't know Donald Duck could sing and play guitar.
Sounds like a Fallout song
10:45
I see what you did there😂😂😂
thumbnail face looks like the chic-fa lay girls brother
Even puts in a gurn for realism.
I can't help but do the same shit when I try on the guitar
saved
never knew horses took cocaine
How in the world does he memorize all the songs he plays
Muscle memory. Repetition, and lots of practice create muscle memory.

More mandolin
Someone please comment about how you've been listening to him since the basement video
Yesssssss
Buddy i been listening to buddy since barefoot ben was handing out sidequests lil did i know that billy was bout to add more flavor to my life i hope he’s done the same for you.
How was that?
Thumbnail looks like Elon Musk
Dust in a Baggie!!!!!
Looks like Elon Musk on the thumbnail
My bro has 2 ear holes... wtf is that even?
He's really something when he holds a?guitar........
That thumbnail sure ain't a flattering shot tho lol
Cocaine will do that to a fella
That was my exact thought
Old school Billy. No tattoos and short hair
Used to be.......
Who gives af
He actually had tattoos the whole time, he just didn't have them on his forearms yet. You can see one on the back side of his arm...
Its not cocaine blues. Its let the cocaine be by doc watson. IDK why everyone calls it cocaine bkues.
He kinda looks like pennywise in this
