She absolutely RIPS. Loved her mandolin on Sturgill’s last three albums. Just out there melting faces

[@leehjones]

BTW, there's this thing she does - she raises her eyebrows on occasion, and it means, "You better have paid attention to what I just did there, because it was the sh*t." Anytime I see her raise her eyebrows on a KZbin video, I go back and watch that passage again.

It's ok Michael, we're all in love with Sierra Hull.

[@aricbrown2580]

Her guitar is likely tuned to Eb to make string bending a bit easier, the capo on 1 brings it back to 440.

I saw Sierra back when she was kind of a mandolin wünderkind. But after a while she was just another great mandolin player in a field of great mandolin players. Then a few years ago, I look again, and she's a beast of a mandolin player, top-flight band leader, and destroying genre boundaries left and right (e.g. playing with Cory Wong). This makes me superbly happy, to know there's another astonishing musician who will still be climbing toward her peak when I die. I.e. her music will just get better for the rest of my life. What else do you want?

Had the pleasure of seeing Sierra and Justin Moses in concert right before the pandemic. They were both absolutely amazing. And afterwards we went up to talk to Sierra and buy an album, their credit card machine was down and we only had enough cash for one. So we bought Justin's, and she gave us her cd for free! So 1) we owe you $20 Sierra! and 2) calling her "angelic" is absolutely right, she was spectacularly nice in person!

I laughed watching you and that electric guitar ;) She capos there to suit her voice, no other reason. She is a mandolin player, not really a guitarist. But she has the touch!!! Pay attention to her husband Justin. Now that boy can bring it!!!! If you trace these basic licks backward in time it goes Sierra to Tony Rice, to Clarence White, and ends up in the 1930s Hot Club with Django Reinhardt!! Sure does. He is the father of this style!!!!

I am just happy someone is reacting to Sierra Hull. She is probably the best Mandolin player in the world, currently. But there are not many people outside of Bluegrass music that know about her.

[@uscgkenny]

Holy cow, thanks for tuning me into Sierra, she is outstanding. I have been in a rabbit hole of Sierra Hull videos for the past hour..

[@matthewridgeway9250]

As a mando player she is an expert on guitar.

[@lannyseals2084]

She's killing it! Her playing is so clean and her singing is the absolutely amazing

[@davecrawford100]

I’ve studied this video till I came up with my own version. She came to Delaware and did a show in Arden. She asked if there was any requests. I yelled out walk on boy! She picked up her guitar and nailed it. What a thrill !

[@jamess3509]

Her wildwood flower is insane as well. Cross picked into next year and she did it as a quick demonstration of a new guitar. There are levels to this and she's leagues above most.

[@tomrwills]

I love Sierra Hull. She's a mandolin God, good singer too. I love her instrumental Chasin' Skies

[@MrAquatoad]

She leans into the woodiness of the low strings and creates massive timbre contrast by adding muting while leaving the piano chimes on the melody portion. God-tier self accompaniment.

[@jackisgallant]

What a voice and talent.

[@HowCommunicationWorks]

I think doc’s version just goes from E7 back to a minor in that turnaround. The Sierra is spicing it up. One of my favorite songs by doc.

[@ArtFernandez1]

Thank you for getting the detail of Sierra Hull's version of "Walk on Boy."

[@joandtomx1483]

"Yeah, OK, it's got that in it." Best comment ever!

[@BanjosNerdOn]

Great upload! I was listening to her last night. Ear candy as always, and your commentary is fantastic.
