My first attempt at covering Billy Strings. Thanks for watching! Also, check out my other covers here: • Cover Songs #billystrings #bobdylan #cover #coversong
I've got to say brother.. I really enjoyed this cover... I play by sight and by watching other people's fingers and I must say you've made my life a lot easier My friend... Awesome job..
Bro…you killed this. I have watched/listened to Billy’s version of this 100x+ times and have always been floored…and you did it more than justice. Very impressed. The only difference is that Billy does it with his eyes closed, and probably with little to no thought/effort…and I don’t doubt you spent MANY hours perfecting this. But that in NO WAY should detract from an AMAZING rendition of Billy’s take on my favorite Bob Dylan tune. For what it’s worth, I like the tone/timber of your voice more than Billy’s..but that’s just me. You did an AMAZING job on this. Well done.
Thank you so much for the compliments! To say I did a Billy Strings tune justice means a lot. He's such an amazing guitarist, and I'll never be at his level (I should've taken it more seriously when I was young like him 😉). But watching him has definitely given me something to strive for in my playing over the past couple of years. It's quite refreshing to learn new things, and to be able to pull off things I thought were impossible for me a few years earlier.
I've been obsessing about toggles and cord on bushcraft videos and took an unexpected turn and got here. I'm so glad I did: what a fantastic version. I've subscribed.
You play it perfectly and I sincerely love your voice more than Billy's ! many congratulations..(PS. I wonder how someone still doesn't know that this is a Dylan's song..)
Thank you for the compliment! Dylan is probably the most covered musician of all time, and he has written so many songs that people assume were written by other artists- because they were the ones who made the song famous.
@@rickwebermusicright,a lot of people play and sing songs without even knowing who is the real author,and this happens to many Dylan's songs.(for example, not everybody imagine he is the author of Knocking of heaven's doors..)
That is one of my favorite rabbit holes! I've enjoyed watching & studying Billy Strings over the past year. I only wish I had discovered him sooner. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
I've never heard the song before, but enjoyed the heck out of your guitar picking skills, that was pretty awesome, all I could do was just sit back and smile !
Brother you never disappoint me with your song selection. I subscribed after you posted Thief many years ago and have enjoyed everything since. God has blessed you immensely.
Lol, I still can't get it right either! So you're in good company! I've gotten better at it since I posted the video, but still can't play it 100% cleanly.
Absolutely! He definitely deserves the recognition he's received over the past few years. I've really enjoyed the entire crop of young bluegrass talent- Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Sierra Hull, etc...
do you know if in Freewheelin' is really Dylan playing the fingerpickin on Don't think twice it's allright? I have read someone else did it...what you think?
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, the only person I have the time to teach at the moment is my daughter. But what are some of the techniques/skills you are wanting to improve upon or learn as it relates to guitar playing? I may be able to point you to a few good online resources.
Thank you for your reply! Finger picking style and being able sing as good as you lol at least get feedback to what I already sound like. I play mostly by ear so I plateaued and want to improve
I’m so sorry for the late reply. For some reason I’m commenting through a TH-cam channel I never use. My actual TH-cam channel is Rouxstertv. My issue is I hate seeing myself and hearing myself. I don’t know how to fix that.

Thanks for watching! Have fun learning the song. I think it's a lot of fun to play (and a great exercise for right-hand dexterity too).
Wow. This is a perfect cover. I love Billy String version
Thank you very much!
I'd have to say.. you nailed it..I thought only billy could play it as good as he does..but I dont see any difference here .hope your famous man !
Thanks for watching! I'm nowhere near Billy's skill level, but I'm happy I can at least play this one!
@@rickwebermusic you nail his version ..singing too 👍
Beautiful job ! Thank you
Thanks for watching!
man alive the talent!
Thank you very much!
Awesome stuff
Thank you!
Nailed it, I’ve spent the afternoon trying to figure this one out. I got the first ten seconds almost right lol.
Keep at it man! You'll get it. thanks for watching!

@@ValerioMansueti A couple others that come to mind are "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "All Along The Watchtower."
Went down the Billy Strings TH-cam rabbit hole tonight and came across your channel. Subscribed. Thank you. Great stuff.

Thank you for watching!
Brilliant!
Thank you!
Good job :)
Thank you!
Perfect 👍 I like it wonderful
Sounds awesome man
Thank you!
Sounds great man!
Thank you!
i thought this was a peter paul and mary song. but it doesnt matter. you played and sang it so wonderfully
Thank you! Peter, Paul, and Mary did record a version of it, but Bob Dylan gets the credit as the source- which I guess is typical of Bob Dylan!
Awesome cover 👌
Thanks for watching!

Brilliant
Thank you!
I’m still working on this,…. Can’t seem to ever get it just right. But then. I’ve only been playing guitar since 1974!
Lol, I still can't get it right either! So you're in good company! I've gotten better at it since I posted the video, but still can't play it 100% cleanly.
@@rickwebermusic Billy is just a freak of (guitar)nature! He’s catching up with Tommy Emmanuel!
Absolutely! He definitely deserves the recognition he's received over the past few years. I've really enjoyed the entire crop of young bluegrass talent- Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Sierra Hull, etc...
You're smoking dude!
Thank you!
Nice 4 finger pickn!!!
Thank you!
I like your performance...please give us a video lesson on how to play this dong
do you know if in Freewheelin' is really Dylan playing the fingerpickin on Don't think twice it's allright? I have read someone else did it...what you think?
I am not sure. That's a good question.
actually I always have thought that in no other songs he plays fingerstyle like that
do a cover please?
Why aren’t you famous?
would you be interested in giving lessons?please let me know how I can reach you :)
Thanks
