With a name like Martin Taylor, he'd better be good!

So much great stuff to look back on,I don`t even think about forward.All I know is that if a 1931 Skip James turned up today he`d still be extraordinary.

John Mayer
They way he managed to reach out to a broad audience with guitar driven music 15 years ago (and still going strong) must have had a massive impact on the younger generation. Suddenly acoustic folk and blues was on the lips of people that would never approach it otherwise. He gave the acoustic another peak just like Clapton did in the 90’s with his unplugged session.

Molly Tuttle seems to garner a lot of respect. Nice to see younger acoustic players come up through the ranks.

There’s this guy in Massachusetts, really low key and under the radar...Alan Cangemi...amazing. I think his family is mafioso, and he might be in a witness protection program by now

Molly Tuttle and Billy Strings are influencing guitar playing in a very significant way with their amazing skill and dexterity. So much so, that even though I almost never used to listen to their genre, I find myself doing so more and more these days.
I believe I'm not the only one.

A brag/hairflip disguised as encouragement: I've taken a couple of workshops with Molly Tuttle, and I once mentioned how there's no way I can play at whatever bpm most seasoned bluegrass players including her play at, but she tsk-tsked it and said, "oh, you can definitely learn to play fast." I do not play fast, but hearing that made me think, "well, dangnabbit, I sure can try!" It has nothing to do with achieving Tuttle's musicality, but at least she made me feel like I had room to grow.

I'll be 70 in four months, I think I'm becoming a Billy Strings groupie.
The young artist playing acoustic music now make me want to be around for 40 more years so I can listen to what they come up with Dam good songs and picking being done by these folks |
