It’s crazy when a person has not many followers but deconstructs music 100 times better than people with a million

[@kylef2937]

Goes to show that none of that shit means a damn thing.

[@Mr_Showtime]

@Kyle F it makes it a whole lot easier though

[@toxic2355]

He is so in depth at explaining that I'm totally lost.

[@jimmybills9013]

Pretty much bluegrass in a nutshell

[@mf966]

Let's get him up there!!!

[@JimmySlacksack]

I dont think the couch/party version will ever be topped

[@PodOfHeat]

I liked the pickathon KEXP rendition with Don Julin. Absolutely rabid!!!

[@billsykes75]

Thats My favourite version too..100%:-)

[@rajanvikram7383]

Couch version deffo

[@megaroo6923]

AGREED

[@jackmistiff5300]

Heatpod Music That entire set is fantastic, my personal favorite performance of Dust in a baggie.

[@doolbro]

In 2018 I found bluegrass and started learning a lot about it. Avoiding this song thinking it was impossible to play... Well, I can play this 100% of the time at 50% speed and I'm not kidding, it's my favorite achievement on guitar in my 20 years of playing. Thanks Marcel!

[@JimXultra]

It's a huge accomplishment for any guitarist. I've been at it a couple decades on the ol gitfiddle myself. Songs like these for me require the attention I used to give to songs . I started this one once and will attempt it again. If you are interested in a cool piece that I've enjoyed playing for awhile check out the instrumental version of man of constant sorrow. Love seeing such good comments on here.

[@doolbro]

@@JimXultra Thanks for the kind words and the recommendation on the instrumental! gonna learn that one for the next bluegrass jam!

[@Traviecee]

I came back to this video after a couple days, started playing the intro with Marcel and I thought I was SHREDDING... until I realized the playback speed was still at .75 from a couple days ago.

[@calebvinson8703]

DO MORE BILLY STRINGS LESSONS!!

[@geody3001]

I'm a guitar player never before exposed to bluegrass. I've been watching performances all day and this is a great lesson. Thanks!

[@CDTJosh]

Start with watching the blues history on KZbin. Get yourself some Delta Blues influence and see how it's developed. And then I'd focus on Chet Atkins style fingerpicking to be honest. Anyone can use a pick. Fingerpicking takes skill and alot of practice and coordination.

[@Blackeyedbeaver]

Been playing since '85 and only got into bluegrass around 2013 although I was exposed to a few standards because of my Phish obsession. If you're a jam player (like I am) some of these runs and phrases can work in a rock setting. Aside from that? These bluegrass pickers are just amazing. Blows me a way far more than the sweep pickers and finger tappers although all techniques are useful. But yeah, I came to this WAAAY late too.

[@TheBryanBobby]

Wow, what a solid lesson. One of the best quality lessons on the tube.

[@JN24185]

Agreed. He’s really good. At playing and teaching 😂

[@ryanguitargodfrey]

So I'm a 30-year long advanced player with my own small time lesson channel (which doesn't even compare to how well thought out your lessons are). This past week I've discovered Billy Strings and have decided that I love Bluegrass. It's funny how much trouble this song is giving me. I'm very thankful for your lesson and have learned it and note for note. However I can't even get up to 95% speed. My brain collapses. Lol. I'm just not used to playing in these kind of scale progressions. I'm officially a big fan of yours and want to learn as much as I can about bluegrass. I have a feeling I'll be spending a lot of time on your channel. 👍

[@ImDaCaptainNow45]

Thanks! Spent so much time watching this song on KZbin x.25 speed! More Billy Strings songs please!

[@casualghoul]

This is one of the best guitar lessons I have ever seen! The way you break things down is super clear and concise. The camera work and editing is clean and everything is straightforward. Thanks for what you do!!

[@captrandycrpmarine6335]

Haven't played in years. You sir are an awesome teacher. Watched this clear through because I could understand your explanation clearly. I believe you are on a higher level of communication if there is such a thing. Probably in everything you do.

[@badkatrising3918]

Just found you. Been playing 30 years. Only time I ever really listen to bluegrass was when I thought I was getting really good and needed to get humble. Now it’s like my new addiction absolutely love it and very well taught. thank you

[@michaelcarlotto7667]

it deff is additive! lol

[@vasiapatov4544]

first time watching one of your videos. this is HIGH quality content - the audio/visual/tabular breakdown of chords, triads, and shapes of importance before the riff lessons are impeccable. musical pedagogy at its best. subscribed

[@jasonp3076]

Dude I've been playing a decent amount of time and been all over KZbin and took private lessons... the way you broke this down was the best I've ever seen. Really professional graphics with the tab and then looking at scales; I loved when you said let's look at how he's seeing the neck. Whether it's using the caged system or whatever the mind visual on the neck is everything and man this is just awesome. This kinda explanation would save so many new guitar players months of trying to figure out the scale/chord/ triad game. Mad respect man

[@anatomyconspiracy9416]

Marcel you are the best guitar teacher on the internet. You deserve a million followers. Thank you so much.

[@flouisbailey]

If only people listened to more BlueGrass more interest. More it’s studied the of an art form it becomes. G C D you are on your way.

[@TonyPAT40]

50% speed is a good target. Love the idea of aiming at 95%. Great lesson, thanks.

[@siddthekid5046]

Thanks for the lesson! I just learned of Billy Strings the other day after seeing a video of him playing this song in a living room. All I can say is holy shit! He's my hero too.

[@rodneyyarbrough6524]

That’s great stuff Marcel. I enjoy your way of teaching.

[@dondiubaldo1016]

Thanks again, more of Billy please!

[@shutupandlisten873]

Ya are amazing hun. Glad I stumbled on your channel

[@jenslorbeer5307]

Wonderful channel, love it! Thank you so much

[@matthewnoedel5665]

simply awesome breakdown

[@BuckyCash]

Self-taught for 29 years and never seen these pentatonic scales until today. I won’t be “up to speed” anytime soon but lots to use, practice, and learn here. Thank you!

[@badkatrising3918]

Bucky Cash lol. I just posted almost the exact same thing. This guy teachers really well. If you haven’t subbed his channel I so recommend it. Us old shits can still learn new tricks

[@maritzaramos738]

Omg I’ve been looking for a channel like yours!!!

[@sirbillyclean]

Fabulous lesson video. Nice work.

[@Ozzierob]

this lesson is awesome. Thanks Marcel !!

[@jaredmars9024]

You are an amazing teacher!

[@cholmes590]

Incredible thank you! I just learned more watching this than I have in the last year of playing guitar. Keep em coming and more Billy Strings!

[@mountain-roots]

Very cool lesson. I really appreciate the insight and how you laid this all out

[@guitarded222]

This was very helpful! Awesome playing and thanks!

[@TheEdibben]

Great video! Thanks for breaking it down into a manageable lesson

[@chriskovalchuk8503]

This was sooo helpful. I see what you’re saying when you said fundamentally it’s actually doable and not super duper intimidating. I’ve been playing on and off for 20 years and just recently got bit by the bluegrass bug. It’s so crazy that’s there’s like a whole different playing style within those scales that’s a little chromatic and looks fucking sweet. There’s no tricks or effects just flatpicking, which is pretty hard but sooooo awesome. Thanks Marcel!

[@kentuckywoodstovesessions5145]

I learned some good licks from this one thanks...it was great to see some breakdown of his licks and you do a great job

[@ThatADHDKid]

You killed it bro! Thanks for the tips!

[@thinkpad20]

Monster playing!! Thanks for the great lesson Marcel :)

[@juniorballs6025]

That was an exceptionally good breakdown, thanks very much!!

[@haydenhack]

Thanks man...Awesome..and you just seem like the nicest guy .. Have a great 2021

[@MegaStephenwright]

Thanks for posting . your videos are great - I find your breakdowns of how these breaks work from a music theory perspective very interesting

[@williamkitchin9946]

Incredible breakdown Marcel! Thanks for the tutoring!

[@gregdehaas8519]

Great video Marcel!

[@LucaSiempelkamp]

Great video man! Just found this channel and I'm excited to practice through all the content

[@guitardoctordon]

Awesome stuff man!

[@saydeeenward9055]

I feel like this guy is really, really good and extremely underrated. I just started this shit a couple weeks ago because a /pol/ anon's advice when I said (Citing Billy Strings on couch) "Make sure to download everything you love now because it will be purged within the next decade". His advice: Get an instrument, learn to play and find your voice, and anything you like will never be taken away. Sing to your people. t. lived half my life and started playing"

[@tomeandbansho4911]

Such a well taught lesson and honestly one of the best guitar teaching videos I´ve ever seen. Thank you so much!

[@SjaakShirly6559]

Marcel this is SOOOO GOOOOD!

[@overtonesnteatime198]

[@davewelsh7777777]

I downloaded and tried this tune some time back - got totally overwhelmed and left it alone - I have been tightening up on some flatpickin and heard Billy the other day playing the heck out of this tune... I am determined now to at least get the whole thing down - even if its at 60-70% thanks for the detailed instruction and all the help advice

[@mbrideau5417]
