Molly Tuttle's right hand technique is a melding of several uniquely virtuosic picking approaches: the forearm anchor of her rhythm comping, and the palm anchor she uses for crosspicked lead lines. "White Freightliner Blues" is a showcase for her ability to switch effortlessly between these modes, even while singing. In this clip from her Masters in Mechanics interview, she gives us a closeup look at how the switch happens. The full interview includes tablature for Freightliner along with 41 other slow motion examples that offer an in-depth look at Molly's astonishing flat pick fluency.

It's not enough that the picking is fast and complicated but she's singing like a bird on top of it. Great stuff.
You noticed that, didjoo?
Thats what I was thinkin'...How can she play that fast so well and concentrate on singing at the same time?
@@drd1924 I'm a guitarist myself and that remains a mistery to me as well. However, I think they may just have the mental ability to execute the playing in an instinctive and accurate way, without focusing on it at all... Just like we speak without thinking of how to move our mouth or tongue.
@@facuzpw that or she took a bunch of adderall
@@atespeach5672 If you play it at 75% speed it is more normal.
Molly Tuttle defines another level in Bluegrass.
In 2017 she won guitar player of the year from the International Bluegrass Music Association. The IBMA has been around since 1985. Molly was the first woman to win that award. For an encore, she won it again in 2018.
Molly Tuttle is 29 years old as of Jan. 2022.
Deserving of every accolade she gets!!! Wow!
I find Ms. Tuttle one of the finest artists in whatever style she chooses. Her willingness to share her mechanical expertise like this a gift to us all. Whatever her incredible technical capabilities are her artistry and creativity make the complete experience momentous to me. i feel that way about Golden Highway as well. I am glad these individuals found each other. I have not found a previous opportunity to say anything just hit the like button. Thanks so much
Besides being immensely talented, she's just dreamy.
Yes she is!
simp ass
@@CrazyCow500 Back to your cave, incel.
@@GiacomoJimmi Told you there are lots of that kind among us. This beautiful humble young girl defies logic: how her nervous system and muscles work together like that is unbelieveable.
@@CrazyCow500 After you hit puberty, you won't hate girls anymore and you'll even start using grown up words.
I figured it out! Clamped a cell phone to my guitar, and now I play just like her.
If you put a camera above your kitchen counter, you can cook anything, too.
🤣🤣🤣

lol
Yeah! Didnt work for me....lol
I used duct tape. Didn't work. Guitar must be broken....
This is some wizardry right here. She makes it look so easy.
She's demonstrating the basics - before you go faster you must first MASTER playing perfectly clean, with excellent time, rhythm, and feel. She prioritized excellence over speed - and kept her foot on the gas.
Perfect explanation
There’s a good book I read years ago called “Zen Guitar” which talks about taking a meditative approach to guitar. The author says you should always work on improving quickness not speed. It’s a philosophy he suggests for every effort in life, and I have embraced it fully. Quickness is exactly as you describe it, a rapidly increasing perfection. Getting to that finish line balancing an egg on a spoon over and over until you’ve improved your pace, working on improving every step of the process, not just running at breakneck speed. It requires patience and diligence and the results are amazing. Improve your quickness, not your speed. Little by little shortening the distance between brain and hand, improving dexterity, reaction and response time.
@@wellesradio But I want to play like Doc Watson tonight.
This is what I always told myself when practising my classical guitar pieces, slow and clean then we talk about increasing metronome speed. This lady is phenomenal, I don’t know how she can skip strings so fast using pick, if I tried I will probably get my pick jammed in between the strings. She is one of the chosen few.
@@wildb4206 Don't we all
Jesus she's good. Can you imagine the hours of practice that went into getting this good.
guitar in her hand at all times playing. thousands upon thousands of hours.
Billy Strings brought me here and he started playing at 4
@@robpattison6606 I don’t know when she started, but she seems lightyears ahead of Billy Strings. Phenomenal right hand.
@@hammill444Molly Tuttle is incredible but I wouldn’t call her light years ahead of Billy Strings. Billy can flat pick his ass off too.
@@tomw485 Fair enough. But her right hand-- I’ve not quite seen anyone quite as fluid as that.
Uncanny. She sounds like 2 highly skilled players at once - plus a great singer.
During the interview, she discloses the secret of becoming a great player. Practice everything slow and steady until muscle memory takes over and it becomes natural. Being a frustrated mediocre player, I know just how difficult that can be. All I ever want to do is see how fast I can play a lick or run, and I never ever get it right. Molly is a truly great player with amazing command over her guitar. You can tell that she has spent countless hours honing her skills. She paid her dues and is reaping the rewards! BTW, have you ever seen her play the banjo? Incredible! She has it all!
I can’t take my eyes off her picking hand. Totally relaxed with such fluid movements with no wasted motion. Just wow.
Her playing is similar to others that crosspick, but her feel and flow and creativity makes her stand out. She is amazing.
Love this picking, plus she’s got a super cool voice.
It's quite good, eh? Beautiful.
The voice is something else. Love it.
Magique
Molly absolutely slays the guitar. Bluegrass players of this caliber always impress me, because as a metalhead, I wish I could play bluegrass at least 75% decently, as that genre of music has always been a guilty pleasure of mine.
It so crazy how our bodies can learn to be that fast and precise. It almost seems humanly possible.
This is the equivalent of what you see with virtuoso classical musicians. It's a combination of endless practice and boundless talent.
This is nothing but practice and practice and practice for years and in her case for decades. Still amazing to see how fast she can pluck the strings with that high accuracy and clear note.
Molly is of course amazing. In the interview she explains that she was doing this in her early teens so it didn’t take her decades. When you film players up close you can see that there’s a difference in the actual hand motions used, and this explains why some players can play lines others can’t. The good news is we can learn the motions Molly uses, once were more aware of what they are.
Those who do it the best do it the most.
We see the almost inexplicable playing in this video, not the “10,000 hours.”
I misspelled "Turtle" searching for videos on turtle care. I'm glad it took me here.
I'll take it!
every time i watch this ... i know what i'm gonna hear & see, but i'm still blown away. every time.
She is UNBELIEVABLE TALeNTED. I just discovered her and am A FAN.
Such a joy to watch her play. So effortless and humble. A true musician. Thanks to Troy for bringing her to my attention!
You took the words right out of my mouth
hand camera is awesome you can really see how dam amazing she is at string skipping..her technique of passing over the strings is flawless and not an easy technique...she flows like water..so smooth and her voice is just as smooth and beautiful as well as the fact that she is a wonderfully radiant woman
chris velie female Bruce lee of guitar picking “be like water my friend”
@@FighterFlash lol
Nice haircut to you Gotta say I mean like wow give some credit
chris velie what’s the name of this little red camera holder that’s clipped to the neck? Any ideas?
I heard her singing this, and it was the first time all day I consciously smiled. What a joy she is on those strings and vocals.
3:56 There's something so humble about hearing someone this good admit they made mistakes when they were starting. She seems really cool.
I'm blown away! Absolutely beautiful! I've never heard guitar playing like that from a man OR a woman. Molly, you've got a new fan. :-)
Billy Strings?
@@robpattison6606 Just my opinion, but she is on different level than Billy Strings; more fluent, more musical, more natural.
um... tommy emmanuel?
I've followed Molly her dad and brothers music for years. She has grown up to be such a lovely young woman and such a gifted flat-picker!! Good job!
that right hand accuracy is absolutley insane!!!!!!
How is she so accurate with all that string skipping at that blazing fast bpm. Phenomenal.
Cool camera work, sorry about half your friends dying.
Richard McKrell but New Mexico ain’t all bad, some people there will treat you fine
😂
Richard McKrell It’s ok, it was Townes’s friends that was dyin’.
This comment killed me.
Probably the best comment I’ve ever read.
as a fingerstyle player i just am blown away by the sheer skill of the picking. obviously pretty comfortable with this technical difficulty coz of how well she's singing over it
It's insane how clean her notes sound
I still have the clip of Molly and her brothers from years ago sitting on their couch with the dog. What a talent and I'm sure the brothers are alsostill playing today. Parents had to be good teachers.
Her technique intimidates me way more than any ace shredder. I can look at most of them and go: " l could probably come close to that if I practiced enough". Here, I think: "no way in hell!". And then top that with how easy and laid-back she sings? Why and how is she able to do this?
DNA
along with getting his DNA, growing up with one of the best known (and best) acoustic music instructors on the west coast in the house had to help a little. her brothers are both also better than average players. look around youtube for some of the vids from their old family band.
It's called "practice."
Føroyingur?
This is what happens when you practice to the point of instinct taking over. A heart and dedication no shredding can emulate. Because literally anybody can shred, if they run up and down scales with a metronome long enough. But this right here takes more than practice and technicality, its playing straight from the heart.
Outstanding. Incredibly fluid and confident in her playing and refreshingly humble and honest in her commentary. Now where's my guitar, I need to practice a bit (a lot) more.
I keep coming back to this. Man do I love her.
I love this so much. Thank you for sharing the delightfully talented Molly Tuttle!!
If I had been there in the room with her, I'd have needed a moment or two to be able to articulate words after having witnessed such amazing music. Just wow!
This is great. Amazing playing and singing. Love this kind of music too.
I love this video. The guitar playing, the singing, the energy...sooo much talent & skill.
Sublime. I hear echoes of David Grier and Clarence White all through this. Distinct David Rawlings influence at 1:39 and 2:11. Beautiful stuff from a beautiful human being!! ❤️
David Bromberg as well ...
Singing a sustained note while making a beautiful fast run on the guitar. Oh gosh.
btw those sabbath vinyls XD
RECORDS... vinyl is a plastic material
Troy, I've got to say, your work is truly inspiring. Groundbreaking stuff that's helping the world of guitar understand what has always been a mystery. Extremely grateful for your work.
I'm in awe.
Great guitar playing, great singing, and sweet personality with humility. What nice young woman. Bless her heart. How refreshing.
I just love watching her play and sing. There is so much joy in this. Plainly amazing! What an artist!
she's awesome - always is. Anyone else notice the 1st Black Sabbath album behind her, sitting on top of a box of records? Don't know why I did, but she must have eclectic musical tastes like I do.
THIS is so valuable to guitar students. Being able to see this kind of camera work is SO RARE in videos of guitar masters handling the complex tasks of their performances. A THOUSAND THANK YOU'S! Also, thank you to Molly Tuttle for her generosity in sharing this!
Excellent song reminds me of driving the old freight shaker lol otr trucker for 15 years here this song makes me miss it thanks for the memories
I caught Townes many times while living in Texas. It was sad that he was such a tortured individual. You never knew what you might see on any given night when watching him perform. Of course I cherish those shows when he was doing okay. Townes brought his own thing to the stage that was so genuine at times it hurt. But my gosh what this woman can do with the song is truly incredible in its own uniquely beautiful way.
Absolutely unbelievable. Brilliant. And you have the most sublime voice. Just wow. 😍 oh, and great advice too!
I'm shooketh.
I must have watched this video 20 times. Molly is so goddamn good. I don't know what's more impressive, her effortless playing or that crazy falsetto thing she does with her voice.
Holy moly how have I not heard of this woman! Now that is talent !
This was crazy good. Whoa. It sounds so easy, that’s what’s mind-blowing.
It's safe to say there's no need to worry about the future of virtuoso guitar playing with players and performers like her around.
Isn't it just great to see someone take playing to another level like this, and with a sweet voice to boot. Puts a great big smile on my face. Wonderful stuff.
Thank you Molly for responding to all the questions! So many questions!
My God she’s ridiculously fast and precise 😳 reminds me of Tony Rice a little bit
I wish she would at least pretend that this is taking effort.
It's because she already put in the years worth of effort before hand.
@@treexcactus it's a joke
If I heard just the audio of this I'd have to guess it was enhanced with overlays or rate change or somethin' - it sounds nigh on unpossible!
LOL....
Watch her forehead between her eyebrows. This is the kind of effort like sucking a thick milkshake through a straw: it might look a little pained, but its really savoring something privately while other outward stuff is going on.
I’ve just now found this video and this amazing women, never heard of her before. Very talented; amazing voice and guitar playing!
Molly, you’re just incredibly talented!!
What a blessing to hear you and get pointers, from such a talented lovely person!!!
my guitar doesn't have this setting....
That's a Townes Van Zandt song. Molly does a great rendition of it. I've had the pleasure of seeing Townes perform this song live four different times in Houston,Texas.
Rest In Peace Townes
This was the coolest video for me because of the camera on your picking. I've had front row for a bunch of shows but its still not close enough to see the fingers picking like that! I don't play but enjoy watching good musicians do there thing. This was so insightful for me. Thank you so much for doing this. Awesome!
I love Molly Tuttle's music. Such drive and commitment. Long may you run Molly ! ! !
I'm might just switch my playing style cause THAT was mind blowing!
Molly is a monster talent!
I love this girl she’s mind blowing I’ve watched her forever she keeps gettin better
This is beyond concentration, it has to be muscle memory as a result of an insane amount of practice hours
That's all there is to it. Many many years of practice that's how pros get so good
EFreeze also requires a special something that’s hard to define. There are tons of people who’ve been playing for years and years who will never reach even close to her level. I think it’s something you’re sort of born with.
Nick Lewis Practice and playing are two different things.
While others have been playing, she’s been practicing.
There’s 30 years of experience and there’s 1 year of experience, done 30 times.
And you also have to know what to practice. Which artists you study and listen to will influence your eventual style.
Brilliant playing, wonderful voice.
Just learned of her recently and this is the first time I heard her sing. Absolutely incredible!!! WOW!!! What amazing talent and beautiful too. I am blown away.
Molly Tuttle has just proved that faster than light is possible!
I was at Gryphon Stringed Instruments in Palo Alto and asked Frank there if he had seen the 'Tuttles'?
He laughed and said that Jack Tuttle taught there! I had no idea....What a talented family of musicians!
Molly, you are incredible!
Incredible talent!
Molly brings tears to my eyes . It,s beautiful .
Thanks for honing in on Molly's right hand, I've been fascinated by it for years. She's such a charmingly talented young lady.
She's got mad talent and she's so unassuming...love it! And really sweet too :-)
Damn. Such finesse.
Molly is so amazing , i love her sweet voice and killer guitar playing
Amazing playing and beautiful voice! Molly makes it look so easy!
She’s mind blowing!
All these years I was obsessed with the slowness of my left hand, when it's clear from the start I should have always worried about my right.
The right hand distinguishes great players from average ones.
Haha it's funny how true this is.
Right !
Yeah I find now my left is usually ahead of my right, especially flat picking. Fingerpicking is easier for me.
@@da324 So so true ......Danny Gatton .....and clearly...Molly Haha
Thank you for this great amazing video with the different angles...
Wow her right-hand technique is just on another level, add the gorgeous singing on the top of that and you have music legend on your hand (don't forget her perfect timing I mean she literally did not miss a single beat!).
If her and Billy Strings had a child the guitar might just explode.
this needs to happen.... for science!
It’d probably play bass and be a huge disappointment
@@jdb2722 lol
That would makes people earlobes explode. Like Billy's did.
@@jdb2722 HAHAH!
How the HELL have I not heard of this amazing, talented artist before now?
Welp, we're on the Freightliner now ...
Kudos to whoever did the video. Love the close-ups and slow mo.
She is a very gracious person to take the time and explain her technique and how she perfected her talent. She seems so genuine a great model for those coming up behind her and an inspiration for an old timer like me that needs to go to the next level
This woman's brains are connected in a very special way. Would be interesting to see/hear her play the sacred music of Mr Gurdjieff.
Molly Tuttle also does some mad clawhammer picking. Look around on RUclips if you're into serious folk guitar picking.
Love great pickin and thanx for the camera angles, not trying to learn but as a player i love to watch.
Awesome picking! Absolutely awesome...what a virtuoso!
Her hand and wrist movement is really interesting. Fantastic playing
Oh my goodness. I was not prepared for this.
Truly stunning! So so good!
This was worth watching! Such a joy to behold this rare talent! And as a guitarist I appreciate the details on technique... =)
Some of the best flat pickin I've ever seen or heard and a lovely voice as well. Bluegrass can be some real hot rodded music. Better than any. A real show stopper. I remember the first time I saw Vince Gill. As a matter of fact maybe......naw that would be too good.
Also noticed the two Black Sabbath albums on the rack of vinyls behind her :)
OH!!... will do Margoil :)
Mark Farner
I reckon ALL of us to a degree have some type of skeleton in the closet.
Just wonderful! Troy Grady understands so much. When a guitarist has the Magnet camera holder that will one day will make him an uber inventor, they are players I know to watch. Thank you to Molly and Troy, peace
I'm so glad I've found Molly and Billy Strings. Being 25 I'm in a little bit of a funk in my music playing. These 2 show me age doesn't determine your talent. It's how much you put into it! I love both of you!!!!!! Keep up the amazing work Molly!
I like how she says “liner”
