Dust in a Baggie - Billy Strings

This is the best version I've found. They should have this one in the jukeboxes.
Dust in a Baggie - Billy Strings
DON'T FORGET TO LIKE MY CHANNEL, THANKS!!!

[@emilyware7162]

After watching this for years, I enjoy the familiar sight of his supportive, barefoot, hobbit friend in this video.

[@User_yhvz]

EXACTLY BRO! Billy needs him just to sit in the back of all his shows 😂 Flip his hair every once in awhile. Slap his knee a few times😂

[@oneupmanship]

He's the Dude. Pretty sure he was holding the good stuff. Ya, would love to see Billy bring him back again.

[@declancampbell1277]

hey there, Shaggy's just at a low point after having to pay Scooby Doo's extortionate vet bills. Give the guy a break.

[@sl0ptart]

The samwise to his frodo

[@youtubelicksmytaint7482]

He's the bearded dude in the newer videos.

[@russseifert1085]

The one dude in the world with an acoustic guitar at a party that you're not avoiding.

[@lance5015]

Lol

[@Blueswailer]

Some say George of the Jungle is still holding onto his bag strap in utter awe, to this day. Absolutely fabulous.

[@jarjars3261]

I'm dying xD The guy does look like him

[@damienmcminn]

I dunno who's this going out too ...I can't believe I thought I met his brother in Lismore

[@dougg7262]

After hearing this, my guitar sold me in a yardsale.

[@darrenherbert]

He he he how many of us feel exactly this way?!😂

[@ukulele69ify]

Hey man, this type of stuff is possible and I think that's pretty cool

[@fredm2733]

We got a name ! The guy in the background is named Barefoot Ben. Heard Billy tell the story on Theo Von's podcast.

[@FuriousGeorge_67]

Man I swear the gentleman standing up is an awesome musician I met while living on the Kentucky/Tennessee border. Played in a badass band named Bonepony.

[@doctor.dickface]

There will never be a better recording of this. It's not possible.

[@vickaminski]

Agreed, love the relaxed jam. I have seen him do this with other celebs now and bands but his best jam is all on his own here with his friends without a doubt.

[@jogzar7041]

His best time: best haircut, best clothes, best power of youth, best voice, such the best in and of him!!! Now he looks like the long haired son of Paul Teutul Senior or a part of the Kelly Family 😢 why he became old so fast? And why do the youngest and rustied nail in the backyard become so Mainstream? All his edges and fire drowning out... Go - shave, shower, haircut and back to your roots!!! The young Billy was a masterpiece send by the Lord but the devils Dollars washed it away.

[@MikeBUSA]

This is what God given talent looks like. And it's what hard work looks like. The young man obviously knows he's been given a gift and instead of squandering it, he worked hard to become in my opinion, a world-class musician.

[@jaredrenaldo1322]

This man sold his soul how else do you explain this

[@matthewfrohman3802]

Jared...you're a silly man...he spent his life dedicated to his craft...talent is imagination...its only hard work and dedication that develops SKILL and a MASTER of his CRAFT.

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

God-given gift? lol 🤦‍♂ No. He just *worked* really hard at becoming good at something. Damn simp.

[@brandonchirrick467]

Honest to God. One of the best performances known to man. Guys in the background have no idea what they're witnessing

[@SDSPFiles]

I think they know exactly what they’re witnessing. Never forget the ones who supported your vision from the very start! That’s these guys

[@10848514959]

You think random people online understand what this is more than the friends cheering and encouraging him in one of their homes, long before his success?

[@GrizzlePawz]

His flatpicking is as crispy as that hair part.

[@fuzzybutkus8970]

So is his Travis picking,Fingerpicking,Chicken picking. He is amaz8ng

[@joshuagraham6387]

This is the best statement

[@davide.b8027]

Close

[@joshuagraham6387]

Lmfao..

[@stewartlewis1910]

Saw a video the other day of billy rolling a joint! Saw several of him smoking one! WHO GIVES A FLYING F...! Does that make him or willy or snoop all tough badasses! Woo hoo look at me i can smoke dope! Big fu..... deal!

[@benjaminhoessle3306]

Thanks to KZbin for introducing me to this guy tonight! AIC's "Nutshell" blew my mind. I'm an instant fanatic!

[@ottomatic3123]

AIC is my all time fav. And in case you haven't heard this one from Billy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGO1eY1-fbSkZpY

[@davidwinkler5417]

this was the first song I heard Billy do about two years ago and have been a fan ever since!!

[@kennyhartsook2977]

Same here

[@consciousobjector2507]

Same here.

[@User_yhvz]

Yup. What’s funny is the guy in the back is his body double 😂 2 years ago the jokes about him were great. He is so mysterious. We need to know who this legend was 😂

[@peopleofpeople9347]

Why was it reposted? Any ideas?

[@consciousobjector2507]

@@peopleofpeople9347 for clicks.

[@curtisstone9673]

Dude in the back definitely offers side quests 😂

[@xbrushedinredx]

Long time bluegrass listener, no time meth user. This is amazing. Reminds me of college when we'd just get together and jam.

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

*NO TIME BLUEGRASS LISTENER ALL TIME METH USER HERE!!!* 😳

[@bbygrl2812]

I love that sound. Kinda bluegrass.

[@dustinsebastian5735]

This guy is awesome just chilling at his house with his buddies and a guitar fucking amazing

[@Gutsziila]

I was laying here heart-broken and this song calmed me and put me to sleep... thank you sir! I don't know how or why but it did lol

[@kworyl6490]

Dude shreds! His cover of ‘Nothing to me’ is super dope 🔥

[@lansteadla]

Blows my mind how great he is!! ✨ WOW!!

[@ericsmith1737]

This is awesome! 😁👏👏👏

[@christophdunne7632]

[@aidanmarley2932]

[@gordonsmith2648]

Same shit. Every time I check back that cigarette must be stale by now.

[@ryannostalgic144]

Damn good son!

[@stuartholme4457]

This is awesome - his picking is so ferocious!!

[@austenrobinson2747]

He’s close to Tony and Clarence as of now. Sky’s the limit. Fantastic flat picker.

[@ChrisDyson-o5f]

Your too good mate! get off that baggie!

[@me-ge7im]

[@patrickgagne8795]

Billy is such a talent

[@deepintuit4136]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thats Fucking Great !!!!!!

[@zanequillarts9050]

I saw this clip years ago. So did all the Others that sought him out to play with him. What a fun observance!

[@justinjohnson9787]

Guy in the background looks like he’s about to give a side quest

[@Popsicleman313]

1 Dislike.... and YES, i can see dislikes on PC

[@reecer19]

How about a little love for the ol' crt in the background

[@RobertFairweatherMusic]

This looks like a scene out of a movie. Billy can rock the git fiddle oh boy!

[@davehiggins6816]

Pure talent, lots of respect from Stockport, England ✌🏻

[@rogerfertakis2561]

Fan for fuc@@@in life, GIFTED . Blew me away

[@dallasbatchy]

Wow amazing talent picking that damn getar!

[@RemoteAbductionArm]

WTF. Is this Billy? Sounds like it.

[@robsmiling453]

He's a star 🌟

[@atox4957]

Guy in the back looks like he wants to throw this song into the firey pits of Mt Doom

[@ecoakley46]

Theo Von the backing dancer

[@konjfful2963]

This isn't your video and your channel says videos of you playing guitar but you don't have any. Out of respect please remove this video it's already on KZbin by the guy who actually you know, filmed it

[@fix135]

Ya know, people keep riffing on the green shirt dude but if I was standing there right then, I'd have that shit-eatin' grin on my face too.

[@rosscampbell1173]

Theo Von had Billy on his podcast and he explained this video. He explained that they were at a party, high on mushrooms, and ducked into the basement. The guy in back is called Barefoot Ben.

[@michaelkingsbury4305]

In Uncle Ed Gentry's day it was moonshine in the fast cars he built, along with the hidden tanks...

[@d.r.1091]

I'll take people you'll never hear on the radio or see on CMT for $500 Alex. Damn shame

[@truebluecrew22]

For some perk 30s in a zip lock baggie

[@glennhurley1479]

Outstanding job! I really appreciate you keeping the old mountain music alive, and updating it with modern topics instead of singing the same lyrics from years ago. FWIW, the guitarist's hairstyle and what I can see of his clothing is very familiar, like he just stepped out of the 50's and early 60's. You guys should play at the Carter family's annual event, you'd likely not get paid much if at all but you'd really gain interest for people who, unlike me, didn't stumble upon you on KZbin. Good luck, and good on you for keeping those old styles of music alive - without people like you, the younger generations would lose this part of our cultural heritage.

[@davestagner]

Oh, don’t you worry about Billy here… he’s doing all right with his music! Y’know, winning a Grammy in 2021, dropping a duet with Willie Nelson last week, little stuff like that. :)

[@nyazz22]

this was filmed 8+ years ago

[@nyazz22]

he's got a long hair vibe going now

[@thebanjoman1963]

Subtle lyric changes in the song from how its sung now have been made for the better. Go Billy!!

[@williamharring5536]

OH YEA HES A GREAT PICKER!!!!! VERY GOOD!!!!!?

[@eerslink5498]

Dude in the back laughing, quickly realizes that this MF can play!

[@4sberg391]

He thinks like I did when I was 20. Which is, he doesn't think things through, just goes on feelings.

[@mattfrenden1000]

I feel like I watched this video years ago, it's only been 5 months? I don't believe it.

[@PatrickHartness]

Oh fuck I'm high

[@Wholsum367]

Great song, excellent picking, have you really been to prison?

[@dallasbatchy]

I love these rare gems. Billy Strings.

[@cormackjames]

I am the guy in the green shirt, saying f**k yes!

[@ozo310sk8]

We just observed cro-magnon take the first steps in smoking history

[@excavator31]

Fuck me, he can play..!! Big fan for a while now.

[@MrReidster]

Instant classic!

[@deepblueseeds5563]

I remember seeing his video years ago and I was like that man can do a HELL of a blue grass run. many can strum G C D and sing this song but not many can hit those runs like Billy. I think he must have went from from shredding electric guitars and went bluegrass or something that’s why he’s got gauge holes and does these runs like this.

[@BrandonStubblefield-gl7nb]

If all you do is sit around strum gcd been here not a musician learning the guitar is an intricate talent you have to learn the scales what scales correspond with what note runs and so on and so forth but the best advice I can give someone is after you learn to play your favorite songs give each one of them your own spin because we already have too many of the same guitar player and this guy right here is a prime example as someone who has a style all their own

[@nllommertnl]

why do you repost some one elses video? nothing added and not even a link to the original. what a shame

[@nikola9779]

I would kill to smoke a joint and talk-play guitar with billy

[@robgoulding4159]

Only one 👍 because I can't give the five 👍 it so deserves

[@glenngogogo]

[@dollarboxbangerssportscard1172]

I don't know why, but I was waiting for him to smoke that cigarette.

[@noahsmith9669]

He’s waiting for his ear orgasm to end to smoke it

[@jeremywanner4526]

Love me some Appalachian tunes

[@Realhighlife]

Should of called it shards in a baggie

[@DreidMusicalX]

F*cking amazing playing and singing bro! By the way, had the same table back in the late 70's. Only difference, it had a huge glass bowl full of weed in it. A few lines of coke on a mirror and some ludes in a small dish. 😉😉😉😉 Now I just dream of those awesome days gone by. I was lucky enough to stay out of prison and only busted for drugs once o a little weed and was in Las Vegas NV Jail for 19 days. Back then I was very lucky because I watched a friend get sent away for 20 years for a pot seed with intent to grow they said. I never seen him again to this very day.

[@SatansBirdLawExpert]

I saw Billy in a dusty-ass parking lot over in Peoria during COVID….had a blast tho

[@jeffreymorris9615]

I love watching the dude in the back realize that this dude is for real at about minute 1:02. LOL!

[@gregmccarter2176]

In that setting he could easly look like hes in the old days..would make a great movie..a poor country boy trying to make it..the movie would be called strings...

[@Andrew-nx9jr]

So clean… kills 99% of bacteria on contact.

[@Psychosocial_cracker]

Dude in the back is a straight up fkn Dawg

[@bkershaccount]

Such a classic. He’s so young here and has come so far.

[@SheaWiddler]

[@mattfrenden1000]

What is that in his mouth, guy with the green shirt? 3:03

[@MrSoldierbound]

Ive listened to this song atleast 10,000 times, dude in the green shirt brought the shrooms...FACTS

[@FatOldManWatsons]

Anyone know what guitar he is playing there? Sounds amazing but not overpowering the vocals

[@revejmal]

Is that guy in green waiting to give you a quest?

[@Joe-rg7gz]

one last song before attacking Mordor

[@kevinbeach637]

So calm afterwards!! Bad Ass Sir!

[@pattwayne494]

[@MrMarkpark]

How? Don't you need to be 60+ and retired to be on this level. that's insane. made me think in a middle how damn cool it must be to be able to do that whenever you want.
