No such thing as coincidence 🎶💨💨🤞

The power he plays with is just incredible. Volume wise he can legitimately make an acoustic guitar hang with an electric guitar thru a 30 watt amp. It's insane how clean and loud he plays.

Wish I could like it a thousand times 🤷🏼‍♂️

That boy can play!

To your info, this is an old video. He actually is a grammy winner by now :)

Im always up and wonderful when i hear this man. Hes a special gift

The post says 6 days ago. Sounds so great for being back in the day.

This is one of the most talented young men I've ever heard. He absolutely owns that guitar and couldn't be any quicker of a picker. The first time I saw him, I thought to myself now if this guy can keep his liquor and drug use under control he's really going places. I'm wondering if he was born with a guitar in hand. If not then he had music in him since birth. He's definitely a winner.

Yes Ive researched this and have followed him as long as I can remember .Him and his father played together all the time when he was a youngster. I learned a lot from my Dad about Ham radio, but I'll never be the guy he was. He built his own radio from a kit in 63. Then he had free rain of Mather Air Force Bases surplus radio parts. He and I built him a Ham shack in the garage and he was able to talk to anyone around the world. But they call these smartphones and there no smarter than the person behind it.

Legit one of my top 20 guitarists ever.. this boy can pick a guitar like no one else.

Very gifted musician, hell of a guitarist and singer

I'm glad I gave this song a thumbs up BEFORE hearing it for the first time. Billy Strings never disappoints.

The first time I heard this man I thought he was just a flash in the pan,…just a show off ,of sorts. It sure looks like I was wrong and “oh my!”, how he’s come along. It just shows how if you don't go wrong and keep your nose to the old grindstone,you just may be that someone,you always were,in your spirit form.Yep.I sure was wrong!Thank you Billy.You make me smile with new hope for this old street/folk singer. “With all the LOVE cooked in”(Slow Food by Greg Brown)

Most excellent. Thx from Sydney, Au.

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL GUITAR PLAYING!

BILLY YOUR TALENT is the biggest inspiration for all the world will become a better place by your talent. Thanks forever man see you in Iowa soon tear up the Uk 🇬🇧 brother.

Great song well written women make your song writing hit home I felt this one in the chest sadly

Bro is by the best guitar player ever live,I pray success doesn't take him down ,if you get me

Sheesh I got cramp in my eyes watching his fingers fly! Fantastic!

Hope he has a blast in Europe. Can't wait to see him again.

He is very clearly not just someone who picked up a guitar and wanted to start playing/writing music. He is Talented and Gifted (TAG) for sure. Quite a prodigy.

💕💕💕💕he is the MOST PRECIOUS thing with that short hair. Saw him front center in Wisconsin 2 weeks ago opening night. MAKE THE DRIVE TO ANOTHER STATE IF YA HAVE TO TO SEE HIM LIKE I DID. YA WONT REGRET it. No Illinois show this year. We got to see him at his last social distance show in Schaumburg Illinois last summer.
