I know everybody’s a Tommy fan, but Billy was just as good. Just imagine when he’s Tommy’s age.

You know you've made it when you get on stage with the legendary Tommy...

That’s just a mind blowing performance ❤

Billy’s picking is cleeeeeeeean…wow

THIS is what guitar playing is all about!!

Hello 👋 Shelley. How are you doing? Hope you are fine

Tommy used to do this with his older brother Phil you has passed away now, Billy filled Phil’s shoes really great!! If you’ve never seen Tommy and Phil playing guitar boogie woogie then check it out

I give mass credit to anyone willing to pick up a guitar in front of Tommy! Billy is one determined individual and these scenarios will only drive him to be better. If you play half as good as either one you’ll be the life of any party! Inspirational moments right there!

Check out the collaboration between Billy & Bela Fleck

2 premier guitar players who are at the top of their game! Not only the fact that they can play acoustic guitars like that is just ridiculous, but that they can play together and feed off each without any kind of rehearsal is truly insane. Billy's playing is unbelievably clean

Wie geil ist das denn....

The Master smiling at his Grasshopper knowing the faith will carry on . Well done boy's .

Der Mann ist einfach der Hammer 😳
