My going down a Molly Tuttle rabbit hole continues. She’s so good and so genuine - what’s not to love.
COULD BE TITLED: All you ever need to know to sound good on acoustic guitar in one easy lesson!
Great job as usual!
Haven’t touched my guitar in three years. Used to play 3 to 5 hours a day. Was a working singing guitarist for 25 years. A heartbreaking divorce took the wind out of my sails and has yet to return. Listening to Molly sing and play has stirred a crosswind. Maybe my passion will return soon. It’s been lonesome. 🎶
Giddy up!
I hope so, Chuck. And you probably have more song material than you'd ever care to. Good luck!!
Yeah, me too, Chuck. I've played acoustic for almost 46 years and I've been in a rut for quite some time. Even quit playing a week or so ago. But watching Molly has inspired me like crazy. I am now officially hyped. Oh, my fingers are sore. Ignore your callouses and they will flee! 🤔
Same thing.....years ago after a divorce, my guitars held no interest from my depression. But I feel the universe sends inspiration to us when the time is right. It happened to me, and I'm happy it has happened to you.
If you play acoustic music of any kind the world needs your music. Everything in modern times is conspiring to tell you differently. Give yourself a reason: go to a hospital or nursing home- they're desperate for people. Get out of your own head- if you played for that long you've got talent- maybe even a gift. Don't let any more time go by. The passion comes back AFTER the fact of picking up the guitar- not before. All the best, let me know how it goes.
Molly is a wonderful teacher. I love the crosspicking explanations and the comparison to the melody/chord way of playing the song. It’s a real bonus when she sings as part of her lesson; that in itself is a great experience.
Just saw Molly live a few few days ago and I have to say that watching her sing through her guitar was fascinating. Pure joy.
She’s a guitar powerhouse! She and Billy Strings are revolutionizing the bluegrass genre and it’s a beautiful thing. I haven’t picked up a copy of AGM in a long while, but I’ll be buying this one tomorrow.
Teenage Mollie helped many of us all over the county at local guitar shops learn how to listen to a guitar and how to differentiate between guitars, how to sell a guitar, and buy a guitar with her demonstration videos. She is a role model for how to build talent and a career with family, non stop working at it, and relentless you-tube style videos throughout the music industry. Even if she did that and nothing but that she is a gift. And to hear her play and then to hear her sing her new collection of songs . . . and now she is teaching us how to play acoustic guitar in fluid detail. She is so freakin grown up now and teaching us a masters class. And maybe pioneering something between bluegrass and country pop. A sneaky banjo has found a way to morph through social media.
This lesson is the greatest thing that happened to my husband in a year. Thanks Molly. (He's they guy with the portrait "Tuttle" guitar.

Ever gracious to let us into her 'world' of Musicianship! Amazing and extremely Thankful to Molly for this and Acoustic Guitar magazine for posting!
My jaw drops whenever I see and hear Molly play !! She’s incredible
I am always amazed at Molly. I know she's spent hours perfecting her techniques and now she makes it look easy but I know it takes a lot of practice.
Not only a great teacher, and awesome player and singer, but a beautiful lady as well...
One those rare players that are equally talented as a teacher as they are an amazing guitarist. Stuff like this is why I subscribe to you magazine.
Truth.
She's a fine teacher and an inspiration to watch, what a pro!!
This is how you teach .In a one on one lesson or group with some tab or sheet to help : you DO learn something and get the feeling of progress.Awesome
This young lady is unbelievable could listen to her all day
Not all great players (and singers) are good teachers. Molly is a good teacher, really clear explanations.
It helps to have had a seasoned teacher for a father.
This is the biggest treasure that I have ever discovered. I love every bit of it.
Jeez, Molly. Teaching, vocals, and that playing... so diverse and powerful. Thanks for the lessons!
Bought her father’s mandolin book in mid 70s. She and Billy Strings have rekindled my love of bluegrass. Bluegrass has come a long way in the last 4decades. I saw Don Reno and Bluegrass Cardinals playing at Shakeys Pizza back then.
Just ran into this channel on accident and Molly Tuttle has taken by back to 1976. She is the spitting image of what my first girlfriend looked like that year and by chance, that girl taught me how to play my first song on a guitar - Blackbird. Thank you Molly, for bringing back memories of such a wonderful time in my life. It was good to be 16!
What a joy to have a star share her techniques. Brilliant video
I am totally addicted to her musicianship.
Molly you are a natural instructor and wonderful musician! ty for sharing very cool,, have to try this!
I'm such a sucker for Molly, went and bought the magazine for the lesson, seems to have quite a lot to study and digest.
She makes this look like it's nothing. This is hard! Yea, I can hit all the notes, but she makes them sound like music, even when she's just demonstrating how to do things. And I really appreciate that this video was not another zoom in on the left hand video like so many others. Molly is doing this the correct way. Without a well disciplined right hand, the fretting hand is no more than an unfulfilled promise.
I am sure glad that Molly is around! Good player good person.
I was very lucky to see Molly perform earlier this year. She is so good and a lovely player. This is great. Thank you.
Ah Molly, you make it look so easy. Thanks for this. You are truly amazing! A joy to watch and listen to your instruction and technique.
Wow, this gal shreds. Amazing how effortlessly she makes beautiful sounds from that guitar and her singing. Just googled and bought tickets to her show in Boulder this September. 🤙🏼
Thank you for your generosity by sharing your knowledge and talent. I really appreciate it!
Amazing generosity to share her techniques like this. Amazing talent and a wonderful soul. Thank you!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Molly!!! Thank you for the million dollar lesson!
Thank you so much, Molly. Really useful explanations to the progression of techniques.
Great lesson! Been following Molly (and AJ) for years! Really like the trompe l'oeil painting of the outlet box on the wall. Looks so real!!!
"Take the Journey" ... I love that song. So much that I looked up Live On My Green FM Music Festival: Molly Tuttle - CZcams and put it on my queue. There's a couple of bonus songs, there, too. I also looked upt the "official" version. It's one of the few times that company has done the song justice, they were with it and enhanced it. All this is cutting into my busking time, but the temptation is too great.
Molly is a very very good teacher!
I like her lessons. She’s very clear and easy to listen too. Keep’m coming Molly, thanks!
... and that folks is how you do it.Thank you Molly.
you are so inspiring that i can't follow your example.... I literally start spinning out my own ideas, so fast I can't keep up with them. the clawhammer tuning is a creative goldmine! Thank you!!!
Amazing talent and a gifted teacher

Yep. I was just fixin' to do this. Thank you, INaRi!
Very informative, inspirational really. Thank you AGM and Molly for putting this out! I really loved the part about playing punk rock as a teenager. I was a pre-teen when punk first came out! But hey, I thought her main genre is even older than that, so I’m really glad punk and rock were somewhere in there in her youth too! I only know her from few youtube videos before, but I know I need to buy her records now also!
Whe she plays her own clawhammer tune it sounds like 3 guitars. Genius!
Great explanation and demonstration of a variety of her techniques.
She just plays in a way that seems simple! I really enjoy this class. I’m a devoted fan!
What a great player and excellent communicator. Thank you AGM and Molly for putting this together, and making it look easy which of course it's not. Molly I wish you'd head up to Toronto, Canada. I find the music you do crosses genres and that's a beautiful thing. UPDATE: My bad Molly... I just missed you Nov 12th at the Horseshoe! Damn! I hadn't updated my bandsintown !
Thanks for sharing your techniques with us. Love your music!
Thank you Miss Molly....such a talented person....God bless
Imagine the amount of time it takes to master all of those techniques. She is otherworldly
Really love her new album, particularly the song "Light Came In (Power Went Out)."
The great Molly Tuttle. Can't help but adore that talented beauty!
Your lessons are amazing wouldn’t mind doing lessons with you your a great teacher 🎸🙏
On a more serious note, I recently picked up a 1985 lawsuit copy of a Martin d18 by Takamine. The inside smells really old and the wood on top, like the one Molly is playing in this video, is yellowed. £250 and I love it to bits. By the way, Molly's recent Leeds, England gig got me back to practising. What an inspiration.
rad teaching from one of the best to do it.
You rock Molly!! Thank you for this ♥️
Most beautiful and talented guitar player I ever saw
What a great player Molly is...
Love the way you play. I kind of play like that but not as perfect as you. I have trouble getting past the 3rd fret but thats ok with me. I wanted to learn banjo and attempted it many times until finally I said no more guitar until I learn Banjo. That took 3 months and then I could play average. When I picked up my guitar I keep doing the stupid picking sequence but I modified it to make it sound good. At this point I have no clue what I do but it sounds so much better than the boring strum strum strum.
I am from Glasgow Scotland so I DON,t want to scare you but you are just Lovely.
Thank You Molly !!!
Your a very good teacher ,thank you for your posting Molly; love it ; please keep them coming
The content is phenomenal, Mollie is an incredible creative player and teacher to be able to combine banjo and guitar style to come up with her unique hybrid sound. Sadly, Acoustic Guitar really dropped the ball here when they had their chance to make an incredible video as the sound is hugely distorted, editing is horrible and the video photographer should have come in close so people could really see what she is doing. This deserves to be redone with more professional production work. Split scene would compliment this tremendously as there is a lot going on with both left and right hands that creates her sound. I would love to see this redone and would buy some lessons from Mollie if they were done professionally and I hope Mollie will pursue this in the future. Sorry to be critical and my comments do not reflect on Mollie's wonderful talent, my criticism is entirely with the poor production work as her amazing talent deserves better.
I agree. Point and shoot with an on camera mic is not cutting it, right down to the 2-gang outlet on the wall. She needs something more like this...czcams.com/video/nSjPd-QsCE4/video.html
I was learning from you and playing...I am just amaze by your talent and simplicity !! Great lesson..
She's amazing!

Clear and very helpful lesson. Thanks, a privilege to learn from MT
She is so very good
Thanks Molly
wow. awesomeness for all. thank you.
Outstanding
If I had the ability to be a cartoonist, I can imagine one where Molly is singing and playing, with little thought bubbles coming up from her, depicting the lyrics and music, various cross-picking patterns, flat-picking, hammer-on's, rest strokes, strumming patterns, modal tuning with different chord shapes to standard, clawhammer angles of attack, finger strumming, etc., etc., etc.! Then I'd be sitting there smiling, enjoying the performance, with one thought bubble, containing a Play button....
Exactly!! 😄
Been working hard on crosspicking lately. This is the most difficult easy thing I’ve ever tried to learn. When I do it best is when I am thinking least about it. Its like the opposite of playing classical guitar
Thank you, Molly.
Thanks a lot Molly
Molly did some fun covers of "Ivy project" with Lindsay Lou. Look it up on CZcams. It looks like they were having a lot of fun doing it.
Hey, Molly is on the cover of the latest issue!
What a talented woman, just gorgeously straight up beauty!
This is an inspirational lesson.
Agreed
Thank you for your input and information .
My goodness is the tab available for your lovely "The High Road" picking? so nice
