I've had the privilege of knowing Molly for many yr's. as well as her family. Over the yrs. she's worked very hard, to establish herself. Nothing left to say, except, EXCELENT. God Bless U Molly.
Who are the 10 idiots who dislike this? I could possibly see indifference, but dislike? Are you kidding? Why are you watching this if you dislike it? Just sod off and let the rest of us marvel at the sheer skill, musicality and joy of this stunning performance.
Taste is a very personal thing. Having things 'all one way' probably looks a bit unrealistic and improbable that nobody among the 92,000 that have viewed it so far would have disliked it. So while it's great that you and I and 1,200 others unreservedly appreciate this performance, so it's probably also perfectly ok that we have a 'range of responses'. And the fact that you care enough to say what you said is probably also a good sign too, IMHO.
@@peterfriedman2830 I just can't see anything that would have provoked dislike. I would have thought that anyone that actually saw the clip when scanning around RUclips, i.e. two young people with acoustic guitars in a home setting sitting comfortably on a settee, and thought "That's worth viewing" and then viewed the clip would not have been disappointed in any way. What were they expecting? But I suppose it takes all sorts. By the way, perhaps I'm biased, because I have bought everything Molly has recorded in the last four years...Olympia WA is currently my favourite song, closely followed by Standing on the Moon.
@@edeledeledel5490 Here's another video with Molly (and also with Lena Johnsson on fiddle who taught Molly the above tune) but although the number of dislikes is almost the same (8) the likes are only just over 400 ruclips.net/video/ahJT2aepzOE/видео.html
Great! A swedish oldtimer like me don´t usually expect much when seeing swedish fiddle tunes played on guitar. But this is absolute top class - just close your eyes and listen. These two have caught not only the quite tricky melody/rythm, but also touches the inner spirit of old swedish music. Really amazing! Maybe a bit too fast for Polska dancers, but as sheer music, it´s just great!
I tried your suggestion, but I just can't keep my eyes closed for this one, there's just too much that's wonderful to see as well as to hear. It fits in with this one for me: ruclips.net/video/TgkvZVmpvMY/видео.html
Beautiful music and beautifully played. Thanks for sharing, Peter. This cadenza in the B-Part sounds a lot like some late baroque music written by Giuseppe Antonio Brescianello for a fairly unknown instrument called "Gallichone" or sometimes "Colascione". Yet it does sound very good on a steelstring guitar, too, especially when played by such artists.
That is the best guitar picking I have heard from a duo. So tell an old man the secret, are you related, married, it makes no difference you two make beautiful music.
Yeah, the 'duetting' on this is kinda uniquely amazing. The only thing I've ever seen which falls into the same category (although in this other case it's hybrid Gypsy/latin jazz guitar, rather than folk) is Andreas Oberg and Frank Vignola doing an absolutely insanely creative 'jazz lesson' performance of Dorado Scmitt's classic 'Dorado's Bossa' (also known as the Gypsy Bossa) which includes some rather jarringly 'croaky'/hoarse (but nonetheless inspired) scatting by Oberg ruclips.net/video/h6VqJDc66oA/видео.html
Wow, I’ve never seen someone play in Bb (G) while in drop F (drop D) tuning like Patrick is doing here. It sounds great! I’m going to have to give it a try!
Woow !! Woow !! How beautiful!! The sonority resembles baroque pieces in clove. Belíssimo!! They make a couple so handsome and competent! A great pleasure to see and hear this presentation, and of course, I will share. Thank you very much!
This is simply amazing. The playing is flawless and the accents are spot on. Patrick and Molly should record a CD with Swedish fiddle tunes or, better yet, tour our country. (A Swedish fiddle player tipping his hat in awe.)
I had never given this any thought before, but you're absolutely right, guitar duets are definitely unusual, especially in terms of folk material. This iazz one below that I commented on 5 years ago had already had 6 RUclips years and by the look of the video quality, it had quite possibly already been made available on VHS several years earlier still. And in a particular sense, it's actually just like this one from Molly and Patrick, in that it's actually a proper duet, rather than just lead guitar backing up rhythm guitar all the way through the song, and not even just with each player alternating between lead and rhythm: there is a section where both musicians are weaving each others' quite different lead parts together. ruclips.net/video/h6VqJDc66oA/видео.html
@@jitsugyoudan I wonder if Molly will find any Japanese musician whose music she can learn and play, just as in this video she is playing a Scandinavian tune that she learned from a Swedish violinist she has worked with, Lena Jonsson.
I feel as if most guitarists have the "gold standard" guitar song for them. This is it for me. It's a song that I love, and Molly is the guitarist I want to emulate.
This is one of those performances where it isn't the level of difficulty or technical mastery that catches your attention, but the extent to which Molly, at various moments, seems to be in a world of her own, with the music just flowing out of her fingers without the slightest need for any kind of effort or concentration.

Thanks Ralph, I am not in the least properly acquainted with all of the important figures and works of the 60s English folk revival, so I had never heard this Renbourn piece ruclips.net/video/YsSvXDDGUAo/видео.html before, but you are absolutely spot on, it has a lot in common with the Molly and Patrick performance. John sounds a bit 'rushed' with the fretting, but folk revival guitar was often all about exciting us with new heights of speed and technique as well as introducing new audiences to old songs. Nonetheless, there were approaches at the time which kind of went in the very opposite direction and were instead more interested in exploring techniques which introduced more distinctive timbres and textures instead of just relying upon dazzling speed and intricacy, such as Nic Jones ruclips.net/video/KlFKwY_YgZ4/видео.html although I am sure Nic would be more than happy to see John's guitar skills as beyond his own (Nic has never had any respect whatsoever for his own guitar capabilities, even in his/their heyday)
@@peterfriedman2830 Relatively simple tunes both but played with such power and fine ornamentation....it's that little run she does at the end of each verse that gets me... she's into it too the way she nods her head and leans into it...
The particular melodic feel of this nyckelharpa-accompanied song seems to bring a very Scottish-sounding character to my ear, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if this turned out to be the result of some strong historic Nordic and Viking era connections between the Scots and the Swedish peoples. ruclips.net/video/e7sK5OiJHHQ/видео.html
She is definitely a guitarist's guitarist, but Patrick actually does a really good job of keeping up! They are both very deserving of tribute, floral or otherwise! Cliff, I just watched some of your videos. Looks like you've got some strong material there! Tip: your guitar volume is drowning out your singing so much that a listener will struggle to make out the lyrics. This doesn't matter so much in the case of well-known songs or very chorus-based 'singalong' material, but it's a really important thing when it comes to newly-written or unfamiliar material which has verse-based, narrative-style lyrics. When the songs you sing have something that you really want to say, it's much more important than usual that the listener can easily work out exactly what you are saying, which is not the case in what I watched. Rather than you having to sing more loudly, or having to play the guitar more quietly, neither of which may be things that you feel comfortable with, the problem can be fixed by miking yourself up to pick up the vocals just a bit more closely.
Thats something completly new ,realy a new cool style. A mix of swedish and american folkmusic , make a record and sell it in scandinavia and you are legend in Sweden and Norway.
@@peterfriedman2830 ..I've run out of things to say about this beautiful and highly talented girl, who I only discovered by accident two weeks ago..from now on, as I scroll through everything about her on RUclips..that's all I can say.......💜
That piece of drapery behind them tells us where this is (besides the fact that one of the commenters here has also confirmed that this was played at Billy's place).
Peter, thank you for posting this. I do wish you had used a couple of quality microphones, though, instead of the internal mics of your camera. The sound is a bit thin and contains some natural reverb from the room which could have been mixed in with the more sonorous close-up sound from two good mics set in about two feet from the guitars. Always a critic out there, huh! :)
Hi, I didn't get involved in creating this video. There's a comment amongst those below which says that it was produced at Billy Strings's place in Nashville. It says that Molly was staying with Billy and Billy's GF. Here is a video of Billy playing in front of the same wallpaper, which, by pure coincidence, I commented about, four months earlier than when this question of where the video was filmed came up: ruclips.net/video/p5kthRxgINk/видео.html

Amen to that!
I love this so much! I listen to it every few months.
You're not alone! Pass it on!
4 people have no clue as to how hard both parts are to play. Well done!!!
I love watching and listening to Molly enjoy herself. Beautiful duet with Patrick.
Haha, I didn't know this got posted up on RUclips. Glad you like it! Playing with Molly is such a treat :D
Molly is so beautiful!!!
Patrick do you remember the name of this song?
Yep, it's Bas-Pelles Erik's Brudpolska.
It's a traditional wedding dance fiddle tune in Sweden.
Great performance Patrick! Good job!
Patrick pls send me the tabs and I will be eternally grateful.
i just love watching Molly totally absorb into the music. Its just a delight. She is living it!
Molly's own comment on this? "I was having way too much fun" and you can definitely see and feel that when you watch this.

I love it too!
Molly puts everything into her playing and it's a joy to watch. They performed well together on this tune.
She's admitted elsewhere that she was having 'way to much fun' doing this clip and it definitely shows.
Molly Is frikkingggg amazing player,unreal and we cannot forget Patrick!! lovely artist 100-100
Guitar duets that are as amazingly good as this are all too rare!
A force of nature!
Perfection, beauty, happiness and joy to my heart. Could listen to her guitar playing forever, not to mention the folks she plays along side.
Forever!
Those smiles say "Yep, we got this one!"

magic...😍
We're all under its spell here!
What a lovely tune! Can't wait to see Molly this March.... Got my tickets hangin' on the fridge. :)

An international one too!

Hi klippdachs, I just watched some videos of both of their those two historic instruments and they sounded wonderful. Thanks!
When it started I was thinking jeez couldn’t it have been recorded better and by the end I was getting all choked up. Marvelous!
Watching this makes me smile. Fun to watch
The satisfaction of learning a new tune and nailing it is right there in Molly's smile. Wonderful!
This music just sounds so pleasant, I can't listen to it without smiling.
You're not alone!
WOW!! You won't get any better than that anywhere!!! Great talent you two!!
That is the best guitar picking I have heard from a duo. So tell an old man the secret, are you related, married, it makes no difference you two make beautiful music.

Outstanding..

Absolutely fantastic.

Can you two PLEASE do some more beautiful duets like this one? Simply wondrous harmonies.
That sounds to me like a really great idea, thanks for the suggestion Jerry, let's hope they're listening!
WOW that was the best thing EVER!!!
Nice work! That was beautiful.
Just fantastic!

Outstanding! Great harmony and rhythm.
Thanks Iver, It's one of those guitar duets you never forget.
Hello from Sweden. This was Nice.
Hi Lennart, do you know of any other Swedish tunes that Molly and Patrick should play as a guitar duet?
Thank you soooo much for this!!
You're more than welcome!
So nice !
Awesome ❤
Wow, I’ve never seen someone play in Bb (G) while in drop F (drop D) tuning like Patrick is doing here. It sounds great! I’m going to have to give it a try!
Wow! You are the first to comment on that tuning + key aspect here. Anything else unusual about the treatment in this clip?
I noticed that too. That low F on the 5 chord makes it sound really big! very cool indeed!
Woow !! Woow !!
How beautiful!! The sonority resembles baroque pieces in clove. Belíssimo!!
They make a couple so handsome and competent!
A great pleasure to see and hear this presentation, and of course, I will share.
Thank you very much!

I’m into her music lately.
From Japan
Is there anyone else that you know in Japan who is also into Molly's music?
Unfortunately there are not that many ...
Bluegrass music is not popular in Japan.
But I think she will be a trailblazer for Japanese.

What’s the name of this tune? If I may ask, thanks.
Fantastic
Yeah!
Great cover, it’s interesting how many of these types of song are major or in a major key
Patrick did an excellent job keeping up with the superstar Molly T. Not many artists can do that like he did.
