Molly plays her tricked out version. Go here for a transcription: hwww.jacktuttle...

[@alan4sure]

Whenever I think I'm getting decent at playing this, I watch this video and see I can't even get outta first gear. Amazing Molly!

[@shipmodelguy]

Molly!! That was the most satisfying 36 seconds I've heard in a long, long time.

[@mattm1854]

That's the most satisfying 36 seconds your wife has had in a long long time

[@jgrees]

Wow, what a great guitar player she is. Great control and great touch.

[@petrvacek4148]

insanely fast and so clean, I cannot get enough of this - my fingers weep

[@petrvacek7057]

mine weep as well, she's nuts

[@Billywagner22]

Molly has such a nice touch, beautiful tone!

[@davejackson88]

[@marcberube4454]

Simply beautiful!

[@Pinrod93]

Nice drumming sound coming from her old Martin!!! David

[@dannylee5588]

Whiskey before breakfast... I wanted to play well for years but all my music hero's were party animals. And so was I. Took to long to realize that I needed my motor skills to play. I'm glad people like Molly have a better upbringing than I. Family dedicated to God and children makes all the difference.😇

[@joseph2832]

lol

[@mindfulskills]

Love you so much Molly!

[@brianj4090]

Her touch and tone is as good as it gets for me

[@mbsnyderc]

It's brilliant making it only .36 seconds long. i find i have to watch it over and over again.I'll have over a thousands views of this by myself in no time.

[@kevinwilson3942]

here it's now 2022 and molly is still kicking ass and taking names!

[@mb2371]

Lol why am I not surprised .......that was awesome!

[@bunkerman99]

This is incredible… great rhythm

A wee spot of whiskey is good for the heart, mind and soul.🥃😊👍

Good Golly Miss Molly How she cam put a smile on my face in 37 seconds.,

Molly Tuttle is fucking awesome!!!!

[@thomasrussell5658]

Amazing. Don't know if I will ever live that long enough to play that good.

[@CloudSturgeon]

She’s a master 😮‍💨

[@DanFrechette]

Molly is amazing and I can't wait to meet her tomorrow at Freight and Salvage.

[@gieellaaa]

Unbelievable, i need to learn it again!!!

[@otherspect]

Very nice.

GREAT!!!! Thanks for sharing it!

Yes Sir, indeed. Molly Tuttle rulezzz.

Glad to see you again, MT. A favorite sandwich of mine...? PB&J.....

You are so god with your music. I can hear what you're doing, but my ears are a lot faster than my fingers could ever be.

[@helloworld451]

So awesome. Will incorporate some of this (if I can!)

Lovely, Molly. You always make it look so easy when it ain't!

[@tjinnes]

Well she makes that look easy!

[@shad8166]

the one person who didn't like this must be the guy that knows he will never play this good..awesome job

[@douglapp5211]

You hit it right on the head shad8166. Guy has to be an idiot.

[@wrkndude1]

Awesomeness

[@mbsnyderc]

Warning watching Molly Tuttle Play guitar can be addictive.I might have to go into rehab soon.

[@reverb508]

​@@westerling8436 Just checked out the video of you playing on your channel. If Molly Tuttle's a "one trick pony", I suppose that makes you a "three-legged donkey with dementia". Maybe go practice instead of cutting talented musicians down.

[@mbsnyderc]

@@westerling8436 I'm sure you are.

[@samartist9319]

Very nice rendition Molly.. Superb..

[@dumena]

This feels more like six espresso before breakfast and rushing off for a meeting in my Tesla while brushing my teeth and checking the emails.

[@DHGroove]

The only suggestion I have is to give us more!!!

[@curtvahle2018]

Incredible!!!!!

[@rohanpp786]

Woww That was brilliant playing...!!!

Molly Tuttle inspires me..... ....to give up playing guitar. Lol

[@thecathancegroup]

She rules.

[@PeterCat1111]

I'm still at less than 25% speed on learning this one... Will check back in in 5 years to let you know my progress. Feel like there's a bit missing from the provided music though it's so fast I might be missing some repeats.

[@michaelsheehan5559]

Like! A million times, like!

[@nylonsteel]

00:15 head turn

[@btpearce]

Smoking :-) Love it, More please ....

[@mf5202]

I tend to focus on technique. Molly has IMPECABLE technique and it shows on how clean she plays this. Bryan Sutton is another great technical player. Remarkable

[@anthonyclegg1511]

Brilliant, does it have to be played that fast. ♥️🎸.?.

[@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

Damn that crosspicking at the end absolutely dirty

[@johnmaisonneuve9057]

Super!

[@Opinionator52]

Very nicely done! :o) O,

[@SarkisHD28]

Magnifique+++++

[@Hannah-fh9sm]

Excellent synchronization of the left/right hands, uses a 1.0 mil pick, relaxed, mature beyond her years...

[@jeffmichael5754]

very well done, only thing I would say is your pic makes a ticking sound that I cant ignore for some reaason.

[@riffmon]

Sweet!!!!!

Sounds like a D-18. Lovely sound and great playing!

D-18, I reckon. Hard to beat.

this is the shit. holy wtf ♥

[@johnhipp604]

Can I ask you something Molly

[@segulliford]

Holy smokes.

[@pwb0511]

I’d love to see the 14 who didn’t like her play this song?

[@patrickgroll2046]

I can't flatpick to save my butt -- I'm a pretty good fingerstylist but no way to this stuff. One interesting observation was made to me by a great flatpicker at a bluegrass festival I went to: flatpicking is somewhat similar to blacksmithing. You know how a really good blacksmith typically keeps the hammer banging just on the raw anvil when he doesn't need a blow on the work? That's why the sound coming out of a smithy is always bang bang bang bang and it doesn't pause except to fully stop. That's the way great flatpickers and mandolinists work -- they often just keep the pick moving whether they actually "use" each stroke to hit a new note. Its very fascinating to me to see how this is done -- not that I can even come close. At any rate I sure love Molly Tuttle and all the good vibes she brings.

[@PutItAway101]

You watch her right hand and think she's strumming and it doesn't look that hard, then you realise she's picking individual strings faster than your eye can see and it blurs into looking like strumming.

[@andhewonders115]

Makes me want to get drunk.

[@pressedearth9492]

Guitars Burning. Mine to be exact.

[@princenymph1]

Well back to the drawing board

[@FilipPandrc]

I know it's stupid question, but I wonder what string gauge is she using?

[@mbsnyderc]

D'Addario 13-56

[@dougdavis8986]

If you have whisky before breakfast you won't be able to play that.

[@Dragitall]

Glad I'm not a flatlpicker, or I'd just quit. This is what happens when you start playing very young - don't know in her case but when you have maximum brain plasticity and you get the fundamentals down, then you have the makings of a great guitarist. All the greats started very young.

[@lowieh.3451]

big bill broonzy, though not a flat picker, started in his twenties exception that proves the rule?

[@arthurxafis]

wes montgomery started playing guitar at 19..

[@neurofire]

Hear mine ears a'right? Or have I abandoned this mortal coil and gone to flat-pickers heaven?

[@PTguitars]

Strange EQ choice for recording acoustic guitar. Molly is fantastic though.

[@garymoore8711]

Too, too short!

Reality check.

The mike is too hot. Mollie deserves better.

[@bennyshaversmusic590]

Great technique just no rhythm

[@Chance-ry1hq]

That is a lot of notes well played, but that is not Whiskey Before Breakfast.

[@isaacbeen2087]

although anyone with a half decent ear who heard it would immediately identify it as that tune…do you know what an arrangement is???

[@kenmorgan9470]

I can do that. But I choose not to.

[@petrvacek7057]

This is so disgusting!!! How can she play like that??? Ok, I'll start practicing right in the womb in the next life and we'll see who's faster.

[@rahang4126]

That's exactly what she did !

[@briancarroll3541]

i don't think this melody was intended to be a race, and music is not a sport. somewhere in the seventies, starting perhaps with lip-synching and devolving into today's auto tune, it seems like delusion-bound humankind is determined to blur the boundaries.

[@isaacbeen2087]

rambling rubbish…do you just have zero tolerance for fast music? every great composer would laugh at such a remark…plenty of music is a fit to go at great speed, and this isn’t even that fast

@@briancarroll3541 what a bore to read the same crap whining about people playing too fast in every video of a great bluegrass musician if the music is comprehensible the tempo is fine, the melodic content is perfectly audible, you need to get a grip and stop projecting your insecurities

@@briancarroll3541 try listening to bebop, try listening to the Hammerklavier sonata, try listening to Indian classical music do you think anyone has ever thought about these things beings “too fast?” of course not, it’s a ridiculous thing to bring up

[@briancarroll3541]

@@isaacbeen2087 unsurprisingly, given the point made in my comment preceding this one, what is truly ridiculous is the comparison itself. as is particularly the case with the Beethoven, there is pacing throughout this piece, not just a mad-dash to the coda/outro. then, with regards to Indian classical, the idea that an entire genre would be limited to prestissimo?! it seems to me that you are only just discovering musical learning, and that with a demonstrably limited aptitude. consider that others, including Ms. Tuttle, have perhaps learned from prior inexperience and in the decades hence, have moved beyond a prior limitation. I will hope this for you and strongly suggest you make that your goal and focus rather than wasting time trolling four year-old comments made by your betters on SM.

[@douglasscharnberg3637]

Now try that without a capo; can't do it? Thought so. Rip that capo off and learn the fingerboard. Snore.
