Billy Strings, 2017, from *Billy Strings*. Solo by *Billy Strings*.

Fast, aggressive flatpicked breaks on a song that brought Strings a large new audience.

Dust in a Baggie brought Billy Strings a large new audience, and his fast, aggressive flatpicked breaks are a big reason why. Strings plays with a punk-like intensity, driving the song forward with blistering runs and hard-hitting rhythm. The song's dark humor and relentless tempo made it a favorite in live shows. His tone is bright and punchy, with a strong attack that cuts through the band. Strings blends traditional bluegrass with a modern edge, drawing fans from rock and jam-band worlds. Listen for the breaks, where he unleashes rapid runs that push the tempo, and for the way the band keeps pace, creating a sense of barely controlled chaos.
