4 and a half minutes of "I can do that!" followed by 30 seconds of crushing return to reality.

Heard her play this past May in Asheville, NC. It’s an amazing experience to watch her play! It’s like she has super powers. And such a sweet, humble person!

Molly Tuttle, probably one of the most talented people on this planet. What she does on her guitar is absolutely jaw dropping! Thanks a lot for sharing this video. Please stay all healthy. God bless!

I love Molly, she’s amazing! So happy to see lessons from her. Thanks!!!

As a old-time banjo player I love this!

Wow, her voice sounded so beautiful in unison with the guitar part. I really like the sound of that tuning.

So cool! Love this clawhammer style

Awesome, a Molly Tuttle lesson. Rich!

That was soo amazing! MORE of these, please!

Love this. She's always been a highly regarded player imo. Love that she got insight into this. Its basically the bass note at the last note before starting all over agsin.

I love Molly !!! Please do more lessons with her

Truly inspirational! Thank you for sharing your story and showing us the claw hammer technique!

Such a great technique/style, and Molly is a master who makes it sound effortless.

Saw her band a bit over a year ago in Baraboo, Wisconsin for $20! My wife, son, daughter and son-in-law all had fifth row seats. We knew she was an up-and-coming star, and that she would eventually become a household name, at least in bluegrass circles. What a great concert it was. She's an amazing guitarist and rivals Alison Krauss with her angelic voice.

Really cool playing technique and musicianship. I love that in between drone vibe you get leaving out the 3rd and being able to drop hints of M or m in and out at will...Great vocal tone too!

I love this so much. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks GW, and thanks MT! I loved it

"Merciless" groove!! This will keep me busy for a while.. Thank you Molly!

Excellent, excellent playing! Great job!

Beautiful playing. Thank you so much.

Amazing!

Molly is so incredibly talented and a truly good soul through and through.

Thanks Molly, Thanks Guitar World...

This is excellent!! Great instruction! Thanks for sharing this.

I'd never heard of that style of guitar playing before, which is amazing being that it's a logical extension of a well known banjo style. And it suits Molly's open and less rigid virtuosity. Cool video.

That was awesome

Molly is awesome, love this claw hammer style

Wow so cool!

Oh my!!!! Thanks, Molly!

Fascinating demo!

Neat. Good teaching style from Molly.

Never heard of this before. Thanks for educating us.

Awesome! :D I've heard that kind of sound so many times before but had no idea how they did it; this was very helpful

Thank you for my first introduction to the Claw Hammer method. I will be working on it!

Very cool thank you!

I love that technique. I want to explore it further. Thank you for the lesson.

thank you Molly ! very cool and love the step by step explanation !

Been following Molly for a while. I HIGHLY suggest you search for her flatpicking videos. Trust.

Very nice. Gracias

That. Was. Awesome!

Really interesting. I just like Molly's delivery too; not complicated and not showy.

Holly Molly that was great! Thanks for the lesson

Very kool technique, Thank you for sharing!

Fascinating and inspiring. 🌹

That is amazing

Definitely need more lessons by Molly. One of my favorite guitarists & musicians out there now. I would kill to play 1/1000000th of that :D

That's so cool!

Im glad to have a sweet teacher like you

I felt in love with Molly Tuttle's music one year ago, i highly recommend this first (and only) album "when you're ready" and the ep " rise ". Just great songs, great vocal, great guitar, great arrangement. Traditional and fresh at the same time. And of course an amazing guitar player ... !!! By the way this technique is really interesting, let's work now.

Thank you Molly ! Who says an old guy learning by ear and a prayer during Covid lockdown can't learn a new trick ! Wow I think I'm getting it !...while also freeing up my trouble strumming.Can't thank you enough for sharing your awesome skills. Mike in Marblehead

Thanks Molly, great lesson.

Love her music.

Well presented. I believe it is the best I have seen Clawhammer explained and demonstrated.

Awesome. Thank you.

I was looking for Molly Tuttle guitar lessons and found this!! Exactly what I was looking for

That’s wonderful, thanks

Molly is incredible! Dig it!

Thank you Molly! That was a great introduction to that style of playing. Definitely piqued my interest.

That is entirely too cool! I love it!

Nice, sounds great, especially at the ending tempo...thanks!

Super lesson!!

Oh yeah. That's getting learned. Thank you

Really nice playing. So precise. Very cool.

You made it look easy. I had never heard of clawhammer style but it sounded amazing when I heard you play. Thanks

Molly rocks......such a talented, classy person.........well done🇦🇺

Thank you

I like the style when you tune to open D and capo up to G. Then end your “bum-dity” with index finger up pick on 1st string instead of a thumb note. The 1st string becomes the short/high G string on a banjo and strings 2-5 are tuned open G similar to a banjo. From there you can change 2-4 to any banjo tuning you like.

Your explanation is fantastic! Anyone who can pick at all can add this to their arsenal.

That was super cool! Even has an Irish sound to it! Thanks for sharing!

A lesson I understood and can put to use. Thanks.

Love Molly Tuttle!

Awesome ,ive been playing clawhammer banjo but a guitar is lying in the corner, now i can use it too. i suspected all along it could work ,i wish Molly lived next door so i could direct my practise time efficiently .here in west aus don't even have a banjo teacher ,but I still enjoy the noises i produce playing a bit each day. Thank you Molly, such an inspiration.

This is the best clawhammer explained quickly and shortly

Molly! So good....Perfection!

Thanks Molly, great information for a banjo player!

Thank you Molly . I've learned a lot from you..

fantastic!

Awesome. I love it.

Not the same, but a lot like Mother Maybelle Carter's style. She was amazing. I love to show her playing style to my son. A great teaching tool to up and coming players. This was really good too, I will show this vid to him, he will love it

Such a great player.

Wow. I'll try it!!!

So very very brilliant Angel!

Loved it. Molly. Thx. Never quite heard or saw that technique before.

Very informative. And educational. I will definitely practice this. Thnx. 👍

This is awesome, never heard of clawhammer guitar before, gonna try this for sure! 👍🏼

Stephen Stills uses this technique as well. He was my main inspiration to learn acoustic blues and bluegrass.

Excellent

Love your backdrop Molly, Those posters are great!!

Great guitarist, great teacher

Awesome...

My Dad always used to talk about clawhammer, and he used to be able to do it, too. Now I finally understand what it is!

It is magic !!

More Molly Lessons Please!

Wow! This is so cool, what a great lesson. Can we have more of this please. Molly is really good, not seen her before. 👍

Good golly miss Molly! That was great !

One of the BEST pickers I've ever seen. Saw her first on the picking channel: Troy Grady.

Awesome, I want to learn this too!

Still awesome! I picked up claw hammer banjo over the past year, and am much more of a roots guitar player. This is a very cool style with lots of possibilities. My advice (I didn’t come up with this): any time your lost in the pattern (typically bum ditty, but there’s more comin’!), just slow it down to a crawl (even 60-70 bpm) and regain your control, then slowly work it back up to your target. Many patterns sound like nothing until you get it going faster. Then it magically reveals its nature. Real magic!! It’s a fantastic moment of victory! A metronome is your friend.

Great lesson this style is new to me I"m going to learn it. It sounds good,thank you.

Most beautiful, most talented, most interesting artist currently on the scene.
