Crow Molly

Brittany Teaches “Crow Molly”

The “new old-time” tune “Crow Molly” was written by Peghead Nation guitar instructor and co-founder Scott Nygaard, who joins Brittany for this workshop. They play the tune through and Scott talks about his inspirations for writing the tune. Then they take the tune apart phrase by phrase, Scott demonstrating it on the guitar and Brittany showing how she’s adapted parts of the melody to fit the fiddle.
