      We got to see you in November of last year in Salt Lake. One of the best show's I've seen in 30 years. Looking forward to Red Butte coming up. You and your band kick much ass.

    Billy is playing traditional Bluegrass to Sun Ra a legend in the jazz world back in the 50's! I am sure he took lessons from God! Having played almost every style of guitar. Hope the world understands the pure amazing talent we are witnessing! Plus his band are great!

      Im sure God had nothing to do with it. Just a good Dad who showed him the way. And sweat equity, time spent on the road, and just working your tail off to be competent...

    Little Maggie- 16:54
    There is so much good stuff here! It’s amazing the experience these guys can provide in a 20 min 3 song set.
    The passion that Billy and the rest of them play with shines through in the sound.
    This version of Little Maggie is the best I’ve heard. There is so much I want to say about it, but it truly speaks for itself. CHILLS!!

    Although anyone can really enjoy your groove, as a musician I am in awe of level of sophistication and complexity you bring to the stage. I have enjoyed Billy in anything Ive heard but the 4 of you together are a true pleasure and inspiration. I hope to hear you in person someday. Maybe a few gigs south of the border someday?

    Absolutely blessed to hear this sound, cheers from Oz boys.
    And yes another guitar placed on the stand, replaced with quality head phones and the hope to see this group live one day.

    Billy goes though a lot of custom work to get his tone... and i have a stock martin HD 28 plugged in with a fishman matrix infinity internal pickup mic combo with fader nob inside my sound hole aswell as treble bass fade nob. i play a tele as wel and i use my fender deluxe reverb with the martin ...it sounds more natural than billys ever sounds unless miced on stage....the tiny mic inside his sound hole works good though...i think Fishman did more research and development and mine sounds better plugged in just my opinion i know. anyone else think about this or think about his tone ?

      @nickbeier6265 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Andrew Halliday Music - When I first heard Billy’s live stuff I thought his tone was a bit plastic and thin sounding. But it’s grown on me now. I think he has it that way on purpose. It pays off with his fast picking. His sound is a blend of a bridge pickup and the Audio Technica mic taped onto the sound hole. I admit a well setup HD28 with your amp will probably sound “better” and more natural. He’s got his own ideas and they seem to be working.
