I am having a hard time after developing bad habits for the last 20 years. Just got to keep grinding on practice I guess

@jocelyn I think I've seen her playing with Brian Sutton. Think there's one of her and Billy Strings, too.

@jocelyn The first time I saw Molly Tuttle was this video on YouTube with her and her brothers. I was just blown away at how good they were! She's 14 in this video. Amazing. I guess her brothers didn't continue with their music, at least I haven't seen much of them lately anyway. https://youtu.be/E5fBEQQtf2I

I love watching Molly Tuttle's playing. This short video has her playing a D-18, the same guitar I have. Unfortunately, I can't play mine as well as she plays this one.

@devin

Wonderful Molly Tuttle video. Thanks for posting. I notice that she's using her upper forearm as her anchor, and resting her wrist on the E string at times. I'm interested in that closed fist style because i find my pinkie does some funny tapping stuff on the pickguard if i'm not careful, especially if the nail is too long. Something new to practice!

Up down pick strokes are a great habit to practice because I've found they make my strumming hand much more flexible and i've started to swivel my wrist more while strumming. This brings out a richer, more textured sound which lends itself to all sorts of styles as well as country and Bluegrass. Devin has a great video where, at the end, he introduces a strumming pattern involving bass notes with quick strums in between. This is easily one of the best things I've learned since coming here a few weeks back. I say "learned", it's very much a work in progress, but getting better all the time.
