    Acoustic Journey by Molly Tuttle
    THE CLAW
    In the first of her series of monthly lessons, Molly Tuttle demonstrates a style of fingerpicking known as clawhammer guitar, in a tuning that is similar to a banjo tuning, sometimes referred to as “mountain minor tuning.”

    4 and a half minutes of "I can do that!" followed by 30 seconds of crushing return to reality.

      Sounds like me watching the breakdown of Big Love on acoustic by Lindsay Buckingham. I went from "is that all he''s doing?" to "I am so bad on guitar" in under a minute.

      She is an *extraordinary* talent (and by talent, I mean of course that she put in tons of work and practice to become who she is). Check out this video of her if you want to hear something else amazing!!! ruclips.net/video/awFeDMNiKX4/видео.html

    Really cool playing technique and musicianship. I love that in between drone vibe you get leaving out the 3rd and being able to drop hints of M or m in and out at will...Great vocal tone too!

  • @NoOne-kr4jc

    Saw her band a bit over a year ago in Baraboo, Wisconsin for $20! My wife, son, daughter and son-in-law all had fifth row seats. We knew she was an up-and-coming star, and that she would eventually become a household name, at least in bluegrass circles. What a great concert it was. She's an amazing guitarist and rivals Alison Krauss with her angelic voice.

    I'd never heard of that style of guitar playing before, which is amazing being that it's a logical extension of a well known banjo style. And it suits Molly's open and less rigid virtuosity. Cool video.

Just great songs, great vocal, great guitar, great arrangement. Traditional and fresh at the same time. And of course an amazing guitar player ... !!! By the way this technique is really interesting, let's work now.
