Billy Strings

William Apostol, more commonly known as “Billy Strings,” is an American bluegrass guitarist who blends traditional bluegrass with modern pedal-generated sounds, like delay and reverb, more commonly used by electric guitarists. He has been hailed as a great guitarist by a number of publications.

We hope you enjoy this video! And remember, live life at the speed of sound!

Billy McLaughlin

Billy McLaughlin is an acoustic guitarist, composer and producer from Minnesota. He plays in a very distinctive style, with both hands on the fretboard, using hammer-ons and pull-offs, and no pick! When he plays you might think you are listening to two guitarists playing a duet. Even more amazing is the fact that, in 2005, he was diagnosed with focal dystonia, a rare neuromuscular disorder that forced him to relearn his guitar style left-handed!

Enjoy! And, Keep living life at the speed of sound!
