That guitar Billy Strings is playing in this video has an incredible backstory I pulled from Equipboard. "Well, my grandpa literally built it in prison. He was incarcerated from 1960 to 1962 at the Michigan State Penitentiary. He was a nonviolent offender, so he had access to the woodshop and he came out of there with this electric guitar he’d built. He made it out of a cedar table [laughs]. The tabletop became the body and a leg became the neck with a Gibson acoustic fretboard. It might’ve been a functional guitar at some point, but it didn’t have a truss rod, so when he put steel strings on it, the neck bowed and that was it. I first saw it when I was five or six, snooping around my grandma’s closet. A few years ago I remembered it, so I called my mom and she told me my uncle Bill had the guitar. It was in pieces, so we had to do a complete restoration. Dave Johnson, who works at Carter Vintage and has his own brand, Scale Model Guitars, did the work." (Read about the restoration process done by Dave Johnson who now owns and operates Scale Model Guitars in Nashville.

But I'm not concerned about that at all anyway; Billy can sell out many, many mid to large-sized venues like the Ryman or even Red Rocks playing his music. He is definitely a "hit" in bluegrass, even venturing into the folk, americana, and psychedelic jam music world as well. Don't expect a bluegrass tune to be a mainstream hit song anytime soon lol.

@@lovebug8144 bro you're trippin, jesus could write the hardest mumble rap pop song if he wanted to lol jkjk I am a musician and play in several bands myself, so yes, I do have a bias against mainstream pop in _that_ sense simply because of how most of today's hits are incredibly lacking in overall musicality. You could seriously put any of today's most popular rappers (like Da Baby, Tekashi, Playboy Carti, Trippie Redd) on any of each others' beats with that hit popular sound (which are mostly trap beats with that cicada-sounding 32nd note high hat), and there would be pretty much nothing that would change at all from one artist to another. Everything in pop music is highly interchangeable (to a MASSIVE fault) without making a song sound any different than any other artist who happened to play on the radio before the next artists. I.e. you could put any of Trippie Redd's beats over a Bobby Shmurda song and pretty much nothing would change about the overall experience of hearing one of their songs. This is partly because there are just a handful of teams of writers who make MANY of those songs anyway, and partly because it has become cool for every pop song out their to talk aboit the exact same things (girls, money, overall gang stuff, etc.) as every other song out there. The Silk Sonic song with Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak (Leave the Door Open) has really gotten me excited about what pop artists might start doing what used to be done back in the day before a team of 25 writers make the music for them, and computers and autotune did all the heavy lifting for most songs. Silk SOnic actually wrote their great song, which is a massive, hit themselves, for real. That is real musicality to me, but 95% of other pop songs are so "factory-made" that they don't come anywhere close to what those guys are doing by themselves as crazily talented musicians. Billy has as much musicality as pretty much any of those guys in pop, and for that, I put him waaaaay above the other people. So it's not so much that I hate pop music outright, I actually do enjoy some of it, I just hate seeing bs "artists" putting out all the same stuff as anyone else and people thinking it is the best that today's music has to offer. Good musicians require having good musicality, by my standard, and billy has heaps and heaps of musicality, whereas many mainstream artists do not possess. I get it; getting fired up and lit with a bangin trap song is definitely a great time, but that is just the tip of the iceberg fir what music has to offer. So yeah, I am not at all concerned with who has a mainstream hit and who doesn't. From a purely musical standpoint, hit songs are mostly garbage created by a team of 30 people and autotuned/gridded to death for them to maintain any of their already-lacking musical ability. I simply could not give less of a damn about "hit songs." Most of them are terrible, and billy isn't. For him to hit the mainstream would mean he sold out. I say he's a great artosts; the top of the whole bluegrass world right now, and he shouldn't worry sbouy writing hits. Hell, the Grateful Dead had ONE mainstream hit song, but they are one of the best and most prolific bands of all time. Hit songs have no bearing on what songs are good and what aren't.

he started doing metal on electric so his acoustic playing has the rhythm deeply ingrained in the auditory DNA so to speak of his sound...putting an electric in his hands with a prog-rock backing band...he sounds at home really. Honestly i think he sounds better electric since the attack he uses is very much an electric thing his acoustic sound vs say tony rice or Doc Watson ( Doc also got his start as an electric rock n Roll kid BLIND! ) ...well with many years of listening and playing practice to myself i hear it ....but its hard to convey...he is to tightly wound in he has no relaxed flow like Hendrix Stevie Ray Vaughan or Tony Rice in the acoustic realms. I think its made Billy's acoustic playing unique and accurate like metal infused into bluegrass new grass....but I kinda prefer Dave Rawlings unique approach to Jamming acoustic ....his is totally his own.

@@CorneiliusLibowitz Justin Johnson is an amazing guitarist and I love his style. He plays the stuff I hear and want to play but I can only dream of playing, maybe one day I'll be able to.

Rock lives and the futures bright for guitar. So many young talented guitarists around

"Hey man play that one sound.....the newest one...." awsome mind body and soul into your music. Stay positive. Don't let the blues quick sand you down. We need musicians like you

A dream come true. Heat.
