Anyone else doing this lesson right now? https://countryguitaronline.com/flatpicking-in-the-style-of-molly-tuttle/  

I put off trying it for a while because I thought it would be way past my skill level, but Devin made it really accessible and broke it down to the point where I could actually play quite a bit of it! Don't know if I will get the speed up to match Molly's but it's still fun to play. 

@jambongris  I find Mollys playing outrageous especially her right hand, She makes it look so easy 😡 😆

@wjssavhotmail-co-uk In my favourite video of her on Youtube, she's showcasing a 1938 D-18 and her playing is so fluid and flawless.  The speed and accuracy looks so effortless.  Such a beautiful sounding guitar too.  Every time I think about upgrading my guitar, I realize I'm not worthy and my pocketbook thanks me.

Yes it's crazy! I tried the lesson yesterday... the speed of Devin on it is just perfect!

@jambongris  Sounds a good method, play slowly at first then build up the speed as you get more competent with each tune.

@wjssavhotmail-co-uk What? Me? No, I was just commenting on Ms. Tuttle's amazing skills.  I have no plans to play the piece of hers that Devin has chosen.  Thanks for the tip though.  That's pretty much how I learn all of the music I learn: slow at first and then build speed  Memorization is a must.

@jambongris 😆 Your your own worse critic, go on get the cash out and buy one.

@wjssavhotmail-co-uk For sure John.  That is what I should do.  There was a 2014 Huss & Dalton TD-M with a torrified adi top and sinker mahogany for sale for half of what it retails for and I saw the ad the first day it was placed and I  didn't pull the trigger John.  I saw the ad on Friday night and by Sunday it was sold.  You snooze, you lose eh.  I've only been playing for three years and I have a great Gibson J-15 that I love, so I'm happy, but man oh man, that H&D was one sweet instrument.  Oh well, there will be other opportunities.
