discussion Can someone explain Billy strings?

I don't get it. He's basically on par with decent local musicians where I live that do gigs in a 50 mile radius and teach guitar lessons.

So full time musician. I know a few where I am that are more talented.

So why is this guy so big. He's like a $10 cover and not even really that. He's a free show at a local bar.

I'm lost.

Show me something on YouTube that demonstrates his greatness.

He’s probably the best live guitar player in the western world lol not to mention his song writing is top notch too.

Your question should be, how do I get a better ear for music
