After exploring hundreds of beginner tutorials to cross picking, I have decided to go with your method. Wish me luck. I'm 72 and off on a new venture!

[@iLikeMyOwnPosts]

How is it going so far???

[@haroldrull4943]

Same here @ 65, begin to like strumming ukuleles and guitars again . Good for fingers running on fretboards and memorizations as well.

[@tangobayus]

71. More power to ya!

[@quocvytruong6462]

good luck ^^

[@rickamy6348]

I‘m a young 55 beginner, started at 50, and so glad to have started learning such a deep well of wonders. Never will I give up my wishes to play better and soooo grateful for young people like Molly who are keeping the home-fires burning for generations to come. Thrilled there are folks older than me too, who desire to see their own fingers, minds and love picking the guitar. We will, therefore we can.

[@joedirt9600]

I remember my late father playing this tune in the kitchen of our farm house. Never knew the name of the tune but sure remember the tune. It brings back good memories everytime I hear it. Thank you so much, beings a year too my eyes when I hear it to this day. Again thank you so much.

[@jamesmonahan1870]

Holy-smoke. What an amazing performance. ❤

[@drigen223]

The first song I every learned to play... Brings back memories

[@bearregister8477]

My brother, I started out playing "Crazy Train," 20 years ago... And, I teach guitar now... Do you play at secret "Illuminati" gutar bonfire's or something???? 👍😂👍

[@jerrylanglois7892]

Amazing how she can take such a simple song and make it sound so good !

[@ahannan9]

The song is great and so is Molly. Both help each other out

[@SWEETROSESINGSDANCES]

EVERYTHING MOLLY TOUCHES TURNS TO GOLD!

[@Tonetwisters]

As a rock and roller, when my bandmates went off to break, I picked up the life of many a party by kicking into "Wildwood Flower" and had a great time doing it! People loved this song and came out of the woodwork to dance to it. I played it fast and it soared!

[@zymelin21]

could you keep up with Joan Baez and Fred Hellarman??

[@Tonetwisters]

@@zymelin21 Have not heard their versions; but mine was fast enough for people to really get moving.

[@anthonybrock9435]

Hello Molly. Anthony here. We absolutely enjoy you over here in Brisbane. You have more fans than you know over in Scotland. What a bonny version of the song you've played here. Thank you.

[@1981lowrider]

Beautiful rendition of a classic. Well done, Ma’am.

[@patricelongchamps9880]

It brings emotions by just looking at how you play and how feel the song! Great !!

[@allmendoubt4784]

She gone melted my heart of stone.

[@RosePetal17]

Write that song!

[@digitalsketchguy]

Hey Molly! Thanks to you & Billy Strings, i am now hooked on bluegrass. Thank you very much!

[@JeanPhilippeIchardMusic]

This is beautiful, love you Molly !!

[@ritaggn]

You were my instructor for banjo at the Ness Creek Bluegrass Camp a couple years back. I really enjoyed it and was truly amazed at how well you played guitar and banjo. Lovely clip. R.

[@haroldmartin7499]

Thank you for taking time to share. You are talented - kind & thoughtful ( & I sound like a fortune cookie ).

[@bobshafto]

This tune reminded me of "The Sinking of the Reuben James" by Woody Guthrie. So after listening to this, I listened to the Kingston Trio version of the Reuben James. Then got curious about the history of the ship the Reuben James. Web meandering came full circle when I read on the ship's Wikipedia entry that Woody actually did incorporate the "Wildwood Flowers" tune ("I'll Twine 'Mid the Ringlets" - Joseph Philbrick Webster 1860) into the verses of the "Sinking of the Reuben." Not just an incidental similarity. I don't know why I'm posting this. I just thought it was a neat discovery, sparked by Molly's tutorial.

[@snakestrecher]

this lesson was a lot of fun and super helpful for me!!!!!!! thanks for taking the time to write it. beautiful huss and dalton!!! I got to visit them a few months ago and it was a great time.

[@stephenehn6816]

By far my favorite artist currently. Wildwood Flower was the first song I learned on guitar and I love, love, love the claw hammer style on Acoustic. So cool Molly so cool! Thank you! Please come to Denver, CO sometime!

[@mbsnyderc]

She has been there several times I don't live in Denver ,but I've seen her there twice.

[@edwin260]

For those of you trying to learn this, there's a hammer on from 0 to 2 on the D string at 1:31, which the tab does not show . I'm in the process of learning this, and I was a bit confused at first why it didn't sound the same. The linked tab is actually from another video lesson that doesn't have that hammer on. It sounds nicer with this little extra flourish though.

[@battlehrfred]

Very talented lady for sure. All of the Tuttle family is soooooo amazing Musicians 100-100

[@alan4sure]

And so is AJ Lee who sang with them. her group is Blue Summit.

[@battlehrfred]

@@alan4sure , Agreed 100 % AJ lee Is a lovely singer and supurb master mandolin player! I am responding to this Video only of Molly and yes, i am 100 % sure I responded to AJ Lee's video in the past and has watched her videos over and over!! ty,St Johns,Nl,Canada

[@lallagammon5027]

Parlor version. ----------------------------------------------- "WILDWOOD FLOWER" She is waiting for me in a rose colored bower, And her eyes are like violets after a shower, For she's dreaming of dreams through the long summer hours, my sweetheart, my own, my frail wildwood flower. All the wild forest creatures are under her spell, On her shoulder the dove it's love secrets will tell, And the wild dappled fawn comes to lie at the feet, of my frail, wildwood flower, So gentle and so sweet. I will pick tender blossoms to twine in her hair, lovely roses so red and the lilies so fair, Lovely myrtle so bright with the emerald hue, Buttercups yellow, forget-me-nots blue There's no artist can paint her, no poet can write, How she warms this old heart like the sunbeams so bright, I will love and protect her and never more part, From that frail wildwood flower that twines around my heart

[@rhinely850]

Thanks so much for the lyrics!

[@GA-dw2dg]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift with us.

[@richardhead8264]

Molly, I discovered you on Troy Grady's channel the other day. And I have been enjoying your videos ever since.

[@ianfrancisledesma4431]

Even without a guitar Molly just bowls me over, oh my.

[@jeffinphx517]

How does Molly not have 500,000 subscribers?

[@philc393]

Jeffrey Harris: Internet allows many people to become know therefore a lot of competition. Can be his music style? A French guitarist woman "Tina S" has 530,000 subscribers: Some say it is the best! If you want, you will find his youtube channel on mine. Bye.

I just became # 19,207

[@blackie75]

she doesn't post a lot.

[@charlesplott7511]

All it takes is 296,000 more, as of 6Jan2019...

[@martinparmer]

She will.

[@hellbelly63]

Molly you are a beautiful lady with amazing talent. I am so glad i stumbled on to your music. I love it.

[@ddumonceaux5451]

Your playing is as beautiful as you are Miss Molly!!!!

[@gabbyhayes1568]

I love your classic playing style Molly. I have listened to your interpretation of Hickory Wind a hundred times as it is so beautiful, almost as beautiful as you. :) Yes, I know, I'm a masher, lol, but a sincere one.

[@christopherd6399]

Simply lovely. It's important to be able to play everything slowly. If you can't, you don't know your piece yet.

[@t4texastomjohnnycat978]

I love "Wildwood Flower". I love to hear a woman play "Wildwood Flower". AND you cross-picked it. THAT WAS GREAT! 👍

[@TheOvillain]

I'm not familiar with "Wildwood Flower." Is it not usually cross-picked?

[@bluespoppa]

I like how you don't spend too much time "explaining" like so many seem to do. Let your fingers do the talking! Thank you. Interesting how this tune shapes up in different people's hands. Love your arrangement and plan to steal parts of it into my own.!

[@MarkThomasMusic]

There’s a million videos here on KZbin to teach you chords, scales & songs. When I need a lesson in humility, I type in “Molly Tuttle”

[@lec1212]

Very nicely done. Thank you. I'll be back to see other musical things by you.

[@stevenburton7922]

Well done...Love it! Thanks for posting!

[@GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

I'm impressed. Very difficult to slow that sort of thing down and not miss it. Nicely done.

[@chrismurphyshef]

Lovely. Just lovely.

[@TStone-gh2iq]

Flawless picking.

[@philfischer4115]

It's amazing to see a beautiful young woman honor these songs. Proud of you, keep it up please.

[@cloudstreets1396]

#timesup dude.

[@UptheArsenal]

What does her appearance have to do with her playing? You can leave it at her work without making it about anything else. Try it, it’s amazing.

[@turrafirmaguitarchannel]

Hi Molly you’ve been my go to learn cross picking. I am getting up to speed on Red Haired Boy, Whiskey before breakfast, St Anne’s Reel and now this one. Thanks for the inspiration! I also have a KZbin channel with reviews, setups and guitar related stuff 👋🫡🇦🇺

[@haroldrull4943]

It’s worth clicking that subscribe , nice playing of a very popular instrument. I love guitars too.

[@LizaPeninon]

This is exquisite ! You are truly wonderful, Molly, I'm glad I got to find you Thanks to the wonderful folks from Huss & Dalton ! Liza

[@kbone1961]

Beautifully done! I would love to hear you sing as well as play that great old song. You have such a lovely voice.

[@yongjinnkim9207]

Thanks Molly. Stay awesome!

[@charlesplott7511]

Excellent! EZ to follow and EZ to learn! And it's fun to click SETTINGS+Speed+2X

[@Tonetwisters]

I have played my own FAST version of this song in rock and roll bands across 35 years, as the group took a break .... People came out of the woodwork to dance to it. Just me and my guitar ... ELECTRIC guitar. And that was fun!

[@amascia8327]

A few thousand hours of hard work makes it look easy!

[@shootfirst2097]

She has very proper pick-holding technique.

[@Pinrod93]

Beautiful Molly and so are you! David

[@jaspreetdhaliwal1962]

I first ran across you many many years ago when i saw the cubernachia song video and have followed you and the tuttles since, well off and on) . I really think you should do more with this channel thou so word can spread and you get the subscribers you deserve. Perhaps clips of shows or such. You and your siblings are so talented. I wish you the best and hope to see you perform live.

Ciao Molly, it was great to see you live at Celtic Connections 2018, what a great concert. Ciao from Milano ( a fellow Berklee alumni)

[@captainkangaroo4301]

Beautiful Carter Family Song. The most important guitar in the history of country music was Maybelle Carter’s L5.

[@t4texastomjohnnycat978]

Jeff Johansen AND Jimmie Rodgers' Martin D whatever it is.

[@charlesplott7511]

The most important guitar in the history of country music was when the Carter's hired Chet Atkins...

[@philkd1740]

This girl shines of beauty

[@ericescorcia3161]

Just something about a woman that can actually play a guitar and sing, she is just as beautiful as her voice is :). If you ever come to Chicago you can rest assured I will be there Molly!
