Good goddamn, this chick is fantastic.

There is a ton of cool stuff that can be done the acoustic when capo'd that high on the neck.

Oh My.

Good for her. Thanks.

Tommy Emmanuel does everything including the kitchen sink - non- capo'd. The caveat being he's using the lightest gauge strings ever, looses out in volume. His guitars are hyper responsive and is able to play any note in a harmonic, or series of notes in harmonics, while he is going full force right handed finger-picking.

Richard Thompson too as you know.

The 4th fret?

 

Glad you liked it.  Not sure how you couldn't.  Mr Timpane probably hates it though.

I watched Molly and her Brothers (who are also crazy talented) grow up in the California Bluegrass Community.

The maturity level of her art is now astounding.

She is also the roommate of Billy Strings in Nashville!

Leftover and Emmitt Nershi are the only grass bands that I dig.

Yes. A capo at all is light weight when showcasing an instrumental on an acoustic. She's having fun on an acoustic and that's great for the trees too..

Pretty damn impressive.  Great voice as well.

When she was younger didn't her family have a group called The Tuttles, with her father & brother?

Emmanuel gave a brief tutorial on pull-offs and hammer-ons when we saw him. Slowed stuff down so you could see he was yielding four notes per strike.

And that thing where it's all left hand.

Thompson does some of that on the '83 Rockpalast video.  But I don't recall him dong it when I've seen him.  At least not when I've had good enough seats to see it.

 

purty good.

Yep - the Tuttle rocked when they were all young.

Their dad Jack was the leader.

This is how I first knew them and 1.75 Million visitors can't be wrong:
