      Like how when you're jamming with someone, you see them doing something interesting, you say, "Stop, go back over that, let me see that again." Billy doesn't need to see it again -- he catches it real-time. While simultaneously shredding his own part. Incredible talent on the guy!

    You'd think that Molly might throw us mere mortals a bone by occasionally looking to see where her hands are at, but no, she just smiles benignly at the audience while her fingers get on with it by themselves.

    I only discovered the talent that is Billy Strings about a week ago and it made me happy. I only discovered Molly Tuttle about three days ago and it made me happier (if that's even possible). Imagine how chuffed I was to realise there are clips of 'em both playing the same stage at the same time. It's almost made 2020 tolerable.

      @pwhak 88 They're both outstanding, but Molly has superior right-hand technique. Among the best I've ever seen. She's also more interesting musically, IMO. She's so good that she looks bored when she's ripping off these complicated improvisations.

    • @masonturner4621
      @masonturner4621 Před 3 lety +16

      Honestly it's just two different schools of the craft. Molly's coming heavily from the cross-picking world of Tony Rice and Billy is coming from the flat-picking world of Doc Watson. They're both experts of their own world and have the ability to cross into the other one from time to time. Just my take on it though.
