Bluegrass stalwart Molly Tuttle knows a thing or two about the genre: she has, after all, firmly established herself as bluegrass’ premier young talent, with her sizable repertoire winning accolades (and Grammys), and her flatpicking, clawhammer, and crosspicking prowess earning her fans that extend beyond the genre’s circle.

For those who are still dipping their toes into bluegrass techniques, Tuttle’s plectrum recommendations may prove useful, especially as the style requires flatpicks that enhance articulation and volume while facilitating faster playing.
