Chuck Posted April 17 Posted April 17 (edited) One of the best flat and finger pickers I've ever heard. Grew up playing bluegrass, but can play and sing anything. Here, he's covering Dylan, the only person I've heard that gives the same feel.. Don't know how to imbed. Well I see it did it automatically. Edited April 17 by Chuck 3 1
fotoguzzi Posted April 17 Posted April 17 Billy Strings just might be the best guitarist I’ve ever heard! Worth exploring on YouTube..here he’s playing Pink Floyd. 3

The best guitarist I have ever heard, most likely. At least at short range. This bloke was at Uni the same time I was, and I recorded a few demos for him, with him and a bloke playing Vibraphone. at the time, he was paying the rent playing in this band. Another Austrlian. Unfortunately, I've never heard him live. Would love to, though. The video is quite old, I think, but he is still around. 3
audiomick Posted April 18 Posted April 18 And another one. As a teenager, I quite liked this band. and this bloke played guitar with them and I did end up hearing him live. Some time in the '90s I had a job in the Gasteig in Munich, and there he was on stage. And he turned out to be a nice bloke. 1

docc Posted April 18 Posted April 18 I once heard Tommy Emmanuel introduce his "band" on the radio. I was surprised the bassplayer didn't groan or the drummer hit a rim-shot. Years later, I saw the bit live (Tommy is quite a funny chap) . . . The gig I heard on the radio, he said (something like), "You know how to get the bassplayer off the porch? Pay him for the pizza!" And, "Drummers are people that like to hang out with musicians." 1
Chuck Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Yeah, I've followed Tommy for years. Here's apparently an unrehearsed duet. They play off each other effortlessly... 3
audiomick Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Very nice, and now I'm convinced about Billy Strings. If he can keep up with Tommy Emmanuel like that, he's ok. 1
audiomick Posted April 24 Posted April 24 (edited) @docc this is solely and entirely your fault, due to the previous post. I take absolutely no responsibility. Edited April 24 by audiomick 1

audiomick Posted yesterday at 12:45 AM Posted yesterday at 12:45 AM (edited) So that's what redneck jazz sounds like. I'd been wondering... PS: she lags a bit here and there, but that's just me being picky. Edited yesterday at 12:57 AM by audiomick

"Redneck jazz" wasn't meant to be an insult. I found it interesting how they were somewhere between country blues and jazz. Edited 20 hours ago by audiomick 1
