Trey Hensley - “Big Iron” (Marty Robbins cover)

[@maxheslop2890]

this video inspired me to get a guitar and now ive been playing for two years

[@TreyAHensley]

That is too cool!!

[@pelloo3627]

That's some dedication! Out of curiosity, have you been able to play this song yet?

[@turkialnoaimi8703]

Me at 0:00 : Yeah, I think I can do this.. Me at 1:23 : * makes room in the trash above for my guitar *

[@alphahorn6163]

This is single handedly on of the best covers of any song I’ve ever heard. And it’s just one singer with a guitar……stunning dude. Stunning.

[@jaygo4392]

100%

[@ticktock2000x]

I am wholly in awe. I found this and my plans for the night are kaput because they've changed to: "Listen to this until you fall asleep."

[@lazecowboy]

Quietly carries my guitar to the trash bin. maybe i'll learn the dulcimer, no one can hear them anyway - great job as usual Trey :)

[@Ben-so4te]

That trash bin have room for another guitar? I'm going to stick with playing the radio.

😂 I’m with ya.

[@roybarlett4880]

Fantastic Trey!

[@mikethompson7570]

What a great comment lol

[@craig8009]

Sir I felt the same for many years until the great Eric Weissberg said to me (a long story from his South African tour with Art Garfunkel in 2001) the playing and mastering of an instrument is an introspective journey. One must play for oneself as much as another. If it isn't enjoyable for oneself then something elemental is wrong. For me it was timing. Eric taught us in a few hours the power of a metronome and it changes my life. It could be something as simple as note spacing, timing or phrasing. Without the basics it sounds off. Start there and even the great Trey Hensley is achievable, correct Trey? I'm still working hard at the basics by the way, and still enjoying the results

[@RedDawnReadiness]

That guitar solo was absolutely amazing

[@TheRealRoch108]

I remember the morning Marty Robbins died…My old man was up at like 4:30 am (which he never was) when I would usually roll outta the house for morning swim practice…He was a real sob but this particular morning was soft and his voice was shaking. He tells me Marty Robbins died…I skipped practice (I was 10) and he made us breakfast and I stayed home all morning listening to his records with the old man. Dude…You made me wanna reconnect with this music years later. Beautiful stuff Trey….Bravo!!!

[@nicholasvanhaute7412]

Every time I listen to this, I imagine that little motif at 1:02 as symbolizing Texas Red. Too cool

[@zerothedevilghostface5404]

This is amazing. Now i Want My NCR suit!

[@pdavik]

Holy mother of God! I wasn’t expecting to be blown away like that. What a legend! Why is he not at the top of the charts?

[@coopersheldon394]

Our Father in Heaven has no mother: "The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger."

[@alej96]

3:43 the bass for that phrase dude amazing

[@ChadRevels]

I can hear ol Reed sayin “PICK IT, SON”! Great job brother!

[@elliedrama46]

I was looking for some nice little cover but holy shit I wasn’t ready for THIS

[@jerrylanglois7892]

I don't know which is better, his playing or his singing...both sensational !

[@margaretcunningham1977]

Trey. I listen to you all the time you are the best I'm eighty. Three years old. I love all your songs I think I learned to love you.i think you are kin to me my maiden name is hensley I have a grandson identical to you and also picks the guitar but I also love Gospel music I am a Christian and I would love to hear you mix it in with your music please keep singing you are the best. Love you Margaret cunningham.

[@benalvarez0311]

I came here to learn how to play this song for my dear great uncle…. Boy did I fukk up… Im still going to learn it, but I will also be showing him this video. Absolutely incredible.

[@Grandmoff92]

I'd like to see a grass influenced George Strait number from you. Nicely done.

[@rjsmind]

Incredible

[@ThaiFighter02]

Dude please make a lesson on the solos! Those were absolutely incredible and I’d love to be able to play that even 1/10th as well as you

[@owentyler7295]

This young mans talent is a 100% blessing from God almighty. Maybe Tray, Billy, and several others can save traditional country music. Hope so.

[@danielthomas3691]

It's crazy I'm basically an expert on Real Country (self proclaimed ofcourse) and a video popped up after a song someone sent me. Marty introducing a kid at the opry.i knew there was bigger things to come.now I cant stop listening! And what's crazy is like our music taste is exact. I consider everything I've heard as one of my favorites.

[@robertvandelsen5349]

Man i found you this morning and as a player of 30 years you have blown my damn mind!! Keep on my brother you are one fucking special talent sir.. Respect❤️❤️

[@nicmarkham5040]

Politely going to throw my guitar In the trash now. Thanks!!

[@Rae167]

Actually super good, possibly the best cover I've ever heard.

[@brocluno01]

Was around when Marty Robbins released this. Your rendition is very good and different that it stands on its own 😅

[@seansweeney4257]

Awesome Brother!!!! Great song! Great rendition! Don’t know what else to say, but I’m sure Marty would be smiling to hear that!

[@stevepick9527]

74 year old bluegrass pickr’ here, I won’t throw my guitar in the trash, but after playing five decades, I wish I could pick like that, amazing!

[@samschoonovermusic]

Trey is one of my favorite guitar player of all time and this is why

[@SillyMoustache]

That exact model was my third ever guitar and my first American built one. Probably about 1968. It cost me £64, less £32 trade in.. Potter's Music in Richmond! I kinda miss it.

[@jamieword8206]

I'd listen to the radio if this was on it!

[@user-zt2wc3uh1l]

Holy shtt that guitar solo was incredible.

[@PRAYHolliday]

The swiftness of the ranger is really still talked about today.

[@RGMDG]

Marty was my mom's favorite artist. I grew up listening to all his albums. Nice job on this song..

[@noscoperequired1961]

You make that 55 year old guitar sound great.

Trey let me tell you, I dove head first into the bluegrass genre over a year ago now, and have been picking a guitar for just over a decade, and I truly think you are a once in a lifetime talent. Much love from Pittsburgh, I'll keep spreading your name as long as you and Rob play a show here sometime!

[@chadk2525]

Where’s the best place to hear some bluegrass in the Pittsburgh area? I’m about an hour south. I’ve been playing the banjo for about 2 years.

Thanks Trey. I have an old Harmony Sovereign too. My uncle played it until he died in 1963 after he got home from Korea. Still a pretty good old box. You play so very well, and sing so well too, it looks easy. That is what a professional is. You are that. God bless you.
