- Two of the most stellar talents in the acoustic world sat down together to share their incredible knowledge of how to play bluesgrass, country and roots Americana styles on acoustic. Covering right-hand and picking technique, using open strings creatively and much more this captivating interview also features incredible duo performances with plenty of improvisational fireworks from both players. A must watch for acoustic fans.
Tommy subtly makes Molly the center of this event, and that in itself is actually a tremendously valuable “guitar lesson.”
Respect.
@@robertclement8640 That wasn't my interpretation. For a guitarist of Emmanuel's stature, it shows his humility (which isn't all that surprising for him).
Well, she is the center and blows him out of the water.
@@swampscott2670What a silly statement. They're both fantastic.
Agreed. Several times Tommy is asked a question but defers to Molly as he seems keen for her to display her right hand techniques. Both are virtuosos in their own right but this is a great lesson in how to showcase each other’s strengths.
I don't think he meant it in a negative way. Tommy is great at taking the back seat. Is a curious player in that respect, allowing whoever he plays with to take the lead so to speak and allowing them to play whatever they would like artistically.
I’ve never seen Tommy be less than 100% full of joy and enthusiasm when playing. Fantastic to watch.
He came to our center for the performing arts where I work as a stagehand and house photographer. He was as kind and gracious as any performer as I've ever encountered. Wonderful man who treats people as well as he plays the guitar. The performance was over the top as usual.
Yeah, I had met him years ago. Just as enthusiastic about meeting people!
Just pure joy and passion oozing from him
If you the player are having fun it’s hard for your audience not to feel something good. Unless you just stink of course. These 2 are amazing of course.
He definitely has the endorphins flowing.
Tommy Emmanuel has got to be one of the nicest human beings on the planet. The way he lets Molly shine is a lesson in humility. I had a huge smile on face all the through.
I believe I could play with Tommy and he’d make me look like i know what I’m doing. 😊
he is a consumate professional
7:28 "Here she comes!" Tommy's way of saying "check THIS shit out!" Love the synergy here; both total pros.
The truly great ones have nothing left to prove. Encourage the other player to to shine and watch that Jam shine
The best musicians always seem to have to goal of making the best musical decisions for the sake of the song.
Sometimes that means pulling back.
No one is more important than the song.
Unfortunately, not everyone gets that...
Had the pleasure of seeing these two great guitarists play together last night. It was Absolutely fantastic!!!
I saw them on Thursday. Molly is a world class seasoned performer. And Tomny is even better. Anyone who can write a song like Initiation is truly a once in a lifetime talent. I struggle to think of a better show I've seen.
My wife and I saw them at the New Brighton Pavilion 26th Jan, like you say Absolutely fantastic.
@@alshazzjust went passed the poster for this very one today(Tuesday). Gutted I missed it! I’d have definitely got a ticket for it if I knew!
Hopefully they will be back because the reception they got was incredible. We both walked out saying crikey what have we just seen.
We saw them earlier in the tour.
I bought the tickets because I had really wanted to see Molly for ages. She was great, tho' I wish she'd played for longer... Tommy was probably the best acoustic player I've ever seen! I knew who he was & what to expect, my friend didn't know him at all & was blown away! Mike Dawes joined Tommy for a couple of tunes too, which was a nice bonus.
I had the good fortune to witness an outstanding show from these 2 in Shrewsbury last week. One thing I love about this video is the fact that there appears to be no ego from Tommy. The fact that he allows Molly more time to speak than himself is a credit to his character.
Humilty and greatness...a special man.
I had to miss it as I was in Shrewsbury hospital, where I was confined for quite a while - one great event that I wanted to attend - but hey c'est la vie
@@45156 Sorry to hear that. Hope you are well and that you can catch them the next time they tour.
These two are the caliber of Musicians that you can't help but laugh while they're blowing your mind, meanwhile they're casually nodding each other on in approval like "Yeah!" and "Here she comes!"
Pure Joy through Music. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this ❤
How have I reached the age of 70 without knowing Molly Tuttle? OMG she is an absolute goddess. What a fantastic guitarist and what an incredible voice.
oh man she's SO good. enjoy exploring her work!
It all fairness to you, she looks 20 years old.
This is my favorite performance of hers. She plays two incredible solos in this.

I'm 54 and just commented the same before I read your comment. Loved this introduction to her.
and shes cute to boot
I couldn’t possibly count how many videos of Tommy I’ve watched over the years. No matter what he’s playing or who he’s playing with, I always catch myself with a smile within the first few bars of the song. Being a lifelong guitar player myself, there’s not many folks that have that effect on me. It’s a wonderful thing
YES!
Absolutely!
He LOVES playing!
I mean, I love playing, but maybe an hour or two a day.
He plays at LEAST 8 hours a day!
That's love!
And I love how he appreciates other people's playing.
These two need to keep a fire extinguisher close by. That was absolute fire!
You’d expect that achieving total and complete mastery of the guitar would have given Tommy an ego, but no. Humble in the extreme, he always shifts attention and praise away from himself and to whoever he is playing with. What a good person, what a great heart.
This women is an incredible guitar player.
Is there anything that Tommy can't absolutely blow the top off when playing, wow.
What an absolute joy that was to watch.
Out of all the people I’ve seen Tommy play with, him and Molly together is my favorite combo
I just love how humble Tommy always is. A real gentleman and master
What a killer duo we have here! Love every second of that video.
Love seeing these videos with my guitar heros, both old and new.
Im Australian, and Tommy was one of the few people I had to look up to. With no Ineternet in the early 1990s, I would see Tommy play on one of the 5 or so free to air TV channels available to us.
Fast forward 30 years, and UA-cam has introduced me to artists like Molly, Billy Strings and more.
To see Tommy play with these guys and girls is so good.
I'd love to see him throw in with Angus Young just once...
I love Tommy,
I truly believe he is the best Guitarist in the world.
Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaage!
I suspect few guitarists would be able to confidently sit across from him but Molly can hang for sure...what a beast
You are right on both accounts.
Dear Lord....sooo beautiful from both. Kind of watched Molly work sooo hard over the last 5 years and seems like such a wonderful person. Wish her the very best...
Both Tommy and Molly are absolute top class! Lovely video to watch and listen to.
Yeah this is James from the states I must admit that I too am 73 and have been playing guitar for about 50 years and I have to say that it always blows me away how the young people can seem to just zoom past us who we thought were relatively good guitar players 40 years ago when we were comparing ourselves to people like Jimmy Page or Jeff Beck and I have to say now that there's no comparison to the new breed of players just out of sight. Hats off to them!
I got the privilege of seeing this force of nature, this self taught, modest, genius three times over about four years. He's so simple, honest, talented beyond any measure. If you can possibly see him - Do It.! You will never forget it!
When I saw the remark "Insanely Good" I wasn't surprised because I knew Tommy Emmanuel as a genius guitar man... Now, when he played a duet with Molly Tuttle, whom I never knew before this very moment, I just got stunned at this performance... She really deserves to be entitled "The Queen Guitar Woman"... LOVE YOU BOTH...!!!
Well as an Aussie Tommy is obviously a legend for us and others as well I guess. Gotta say thou that discovering Molly has been light a sweet spring breeze for me. Her vocals are simply perfect for her genre of music and her guitar technique is beyond sublime!
Listen to her cover of Helpless with the Influences.
Truly beautiful!
Molly is an absolute Rock Star!
Beating the strings off that guit-fiddle with absolutely beautiful sounds. That voice is stunning. Just can't say enough about this young ladies talents.
Tommy is a given for maximum output every time he plays and one of the top guitarist today.
Thanks for this entertainment!
I have seen them each live. Tommy once, and Molly 6x. I have the autographed ticket stubs in my wallet to prove it.They are both masters, and yet there are things they can learn from each other. These two rubbing elbows, teaching, and learning from each other could change guitar as we know it. Molly has Tommy playing with a flat-pick, and she is passing on the Clawhammer too. My brain will melt when I see Molly start playing percussion on her guitars. Tommy is one of the most engaging performers I've ever seen on a stage. He is a one man show most of the time, and he holds the room in his hand all night. I am so hoping that this is just a warmup for an American Tour! Molly, please bring Tommy home to "The Guild" next time you are here.
Tommy is such an artist, a character and a human being.
Had a pleasure of watching him live on a concert with 20000 people.
Afterwards, me and my friend waited for him to come out and sign a guitar.
Not only did he sign it, but spent a good 20min chatting with the two of us.
Love you Tommy, never change.
Tommy is a legend that every guitar player respects and admires, I’ve never heard Molly and she is an extraordinary talent. Thank you for posting this. Tommy’s humility and willingness to divert the spotlight is so refreshing
Tommy is awesome but he let Molly shine because she is stellar. You can see the admiration for her playing and singing in his face. Kudos to him for not trying to outshine her because it would only have made him look bad.
I don't care who Tommy plays with. He's 100% class. Never outplays anyone. ❤
lol what do you even mean by this. HE blew her out of the water. But he's allowed to. He's 70 years old and GOATED. She's just a kid compared to him. Tommy jammed with fucking Lenny Breau, Chet Atkins, Bucky Pizzarrelli... Molly has got a long way to go lol.
What an outstanding duet! Even Tommy's voice (not the stronger of his musical assets) perfectly in sync and complementary to Molly's vocal lead
It's nice to see 2 vastly different generations come together and enjoy each other's playing. Truly two of the best.
Two of the best guitarists in the world. Thanks for sharing this gem, a real treat to watch 🎸🤠👍
Molly's "Take the Journey" which she plays some at the end is a fantastic song. Her vocals as she demonstrates on "White Freightliner Blues" are superb.
Have heard her sing this in multiple formats - studio, live show and an interview. She nails it every time.
Listening to both of you will get me through my day…You are fantastic as people and of course, A+ musicians! Thank you Guitarist for putting this video together for us to watch over and over again!
Molly is the greatest! Her flat pic technique is insane! Not from this world! And besides she is a great musician too! I am following her for several years! Two great masters each one of a kind! Thanks a lot for sharing! Love it! Cheers DimiZ
Tommy and Molly's harmony is just delightful. This was such a treat to watch!
Love it all. Tommy has a rather large vocabulary of "chops" and is so wonderfully dedicated to making the music better in any way he can. Molly sings and plays beautifully🥰
Absolute Masters. Very few can come close to this level of playing. I wish more guitar players would pick up on Bluegrass cause its really the happiest forms of music, It makes ya smile and makes ya wanna get up and jump around, spin around and clap your hands and stomp your feet. Thanks for doing this series, You make people smile
I can only wish:
a) to see them play together or,
b) see them play solo or,
c) had one/quarter of their skill.
Love them both!
I did see them both recently... Yes, definitely go to see them if they ever play near you!
Your voices sound great together! You should make an album collaboration. Enjoyed watching you two play off each other and having fun.
Two of the finest guitarists in the world, smashing it right there', We are so lucky to have them in our life time
Molly's inventiveness is outstanding and the musical communication here is a model of cooperation and - to coin a phrase - harmony!
This was a real 'pick' me up on a Sunday Morning:)
Anyone who plays guitar knows just how good these two are. On electric, it's easy to be lazy and assisted by the amp, especially the more distortion and sustain you add. That Tommy plays almost exclusively acoustic is obvious, as he has some of the cleanest, quickest picking you'll ever see. First time seeing Molly, but her skill level is obviously very high. Great stuff, especially for beginners or intermediates.
Molly & Tommy -- Wow !!! What pleasure to watch
Some jam, Molly melts hearts with her natural play and vocals, Tom is just the backing duo.... hehe love it, claw hammer schooled I was!
Yeah, I could watch these two all day.
This is gold thanks for posting it.
What a pleasure to watch these two play together. Masters of their craft. Great Vid.
Two of my favorite guitar players and individuals! Always a blessing to hear them play together!
two of the very best. lovely to see them together!
Unreal, looks so effortless and fluid. The amount of hours/days/months/years and possibly tears that goes into getting to this level. Much respect!
What a joy to watch and listen too! Thanks Guitarist, and thanks to Molly and Tommy....wonderful! 🙏
I have no words... when these two get together, it's magical!❤
Some great tips from these two masters of guitar, thanks for your music.
Just amazing all around. Love seeing these 2 jam.
This was really great! Thank you. Great picking!
Fandamntastic!! That was so fun. Thanks y'all!
What an absolute joy this video is. The way they spark off each other is just fantastic.
I enjoyed every second of this!
I couldn’t stop smiling. Thanks.
By the end of this clip my cheeks hurt from smiling so hard! What an absolute joy that was to watch.
This is the best thing I’ve seen in years, humbling to say the least. Love it

I want to give this TWO thumbs up!!! One for Molly and one for Tommy
What a joy that White Freight Liner is, with these two riffing off each other - fantastic.
How do you not have that much excitement playing with such an amazing beautiful conscientious delightful energetic fantastic genuine harmonious inventive justifiably knowledgeable loving meticulous noteworthy optimistic personal and she plays that guitar so gracefully beautiful It appears effortless and then she sings ….I melted…Tommy thank u 4 sharing!

This video was my first introduction to Molly Tuttle. WOW! Love it.
this is gold, who has as much fun playing as this guy- very cool
When two amazing people who are also phenomenal musicians get together it's like gold! Really great interview!
My two favorite guitar players. Amazing!
I've always loved Molly's White Freightliner Blues, with the addition of Mr Emmanuel it's just sublime!!!!
Two true Master's at work ! :)
Very inspiring to me. Drives me to learn every time I watch people like this
I have never enjoyed listening to acoustic guitar as much as I did during this video! SUPERB.
Two of my favourite guitarists ❤🔥💖😍
