Definitely will give those a listen! I'm glad you like the songs I chose!

I am overjoyed I could be the one to introduce you to Billy Strings, especially since you're a guitar guy, you're gonna have a ball listening to his stuff if you decide to listen to more of it.

I'll get you started with two of my favorite live performances from him, where he absolutely kills with his guitar.

A performance of the song that first blew him up with a sweet guitar break.

A performance of "Turmoil and Tinfoil" with the best acoustic solo I think I've ever heard:

The cool thing about him, is that he is reinventing bluegrass. He writes his songs with metal AND bluegrass in mind, so a lot of his songs are in minor chords, which is relatively unheard of in bluegrass. The metal really shines through in "Turmoil and Tinfoil."
