jedzep Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Just bought tickets to tomorrow night's show at the Cooperstown library. Are you kidding me? At the freekin' library? https://squareup.com/store/cooperstown-concert-series-inc/item/molly-tuttle-october Folding chairs, small room, across the street from the Hall of Fame. 20 bucks. WTF!?

j45nick Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 What more could you ask? She's scary good, and has been since she was about 12 years old. I love the way she palm-mutes the strings she isn't playing in her lead runs. Come to think of it, I pretty much love everything about her.

scriv58 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 No drunks, no sea of cell phones or morons holding mid-song conversations, plus support for the waning interest in libraries and reading. Sounds great already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds great already. I was thinking same thing, sounds like a terrific venue for a songwriter or acoustic performer. Or any musician who likes to have people just listen!

zombywoof Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Molly really is great. I agree scary good sums it up. For me though the best lady picker (although she used a thumbpick like a flatpick) that ever was or ever will be is Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Well, just returned from seeing Molly in the small venue with fiddle, banjo and stand up bass, which I can't describe well enough except to say it was dazzling. She used a capo all night and I'd love to figure out what it is. This vid shows the capo but you can't see much but for how low the profile is on the fingerboard. It adjusted so easily with a knurled thumb screw from behind. Can anyone figure out what it is. G7th maybe? I should have asked her afterwards at the merch table but I was afraid I'd blurt out something sad and pitiful like a marriage proposal. I thought her burst topped Martin didn't handle the hard strumming with clarity but it sang like a bird when she picked individual notes. I was super lucky to be able to sit at the mixing board with my nephew who was working for the sound guy tonight. I'll look around at other vids for a capo that looks like the one she used.

gdecantoo Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 The capo looks similar to one that i have. May be a SHUBB L1 or similar. Edit: After looking a little more, she is not using an L1. The shorter banjo player is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedzep Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 She's to Chuck Berry what Molly is to Doc Watson. Different schools. Molly plays a wicked frailing style too. Isn't that how Thorogood strums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozz Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Fantastic guitar player. She recently had Preston Thompson build her a D-BA. Shipwreck Brazilian back and sides and an Adirondack top with a beautiful Gibsonesque burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedzep Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Short report on the Paige capo...low profile, narrow contact point with the strings, and minimal tone muting, if any. That straight-on adjustment from behind just makes sense for maintaining intonation. Love it for 17 bucks w/ free ship at Sweetwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
