“SITTIN’ ON TOP OF THE WORLD”
Billy Strings & Molly Tuttle
CAPTURED ON VIDEO at the 2019 Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, this spirited live performance of a popular old standard features two of today’s most celebrated young lions of bluegrass — Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle — jamming and taking exciting, virtuosic solos over the tune’s uptempo groove and “key of G” chord changes, with both guitars capo-ed at the 2nd fret, transposing everything up a whole step to the concert key of A.
Billy kicks off the tune in free time by initiating a series of soulful call-and-response vocal and guitar phrases, with Molly (Gtr. 2) entering in bar 7 and interjecting her own in bluegrass!
