There’s no doubt that Grammy winning guitarist Billy Strings is one of the most exciting artists to emerge in recent years. A virtuoso flatpicker, Strings has found virtually unprecedented crossover success, selling out shows across the country. In this video, Strings and his band play a cover of Jimmie Rodgers’ classic “My Rough and Rowdy Ways” in a casual rehearsal setting. Instead of his usual Preston Thompson Billy Strings Signature Model, strings is playing a great-sounding Thompson OM.
