‘She’s been doing that for years; several examples are posted on YouTube.
Is it still standard guitar tuning, or does she modify it?

I play clawhammer guitar a little - DADGAD works - it's a D version of sawmill tuning pretty much.... (with a low drone string and an extra high D)
Also try DADF#AD - this is like open D or Ruben tuning - sounds great to me.
I do Pretty Polly in DADGAD - works a treat.
Clawhammer guitar is quite quiet - doesn't totally cut through in an acoustic session.
Just give a try!
Well, new to me.
From what I have been able to gather, she usually uses DGDGCD, which I guess functions like a G-based Sawmill tuning.
Steve Baughman is great at CH guitar (and banjo). Check out his "Reuben's Train to Turkey".

These folks are just playing their own rhythm and I love it.....Jack
no biggie IMHO...if no flat pick is around and I want/need to play guitar (which is kinds rare for me) I just claw it...Molly didn't invent it...but she got attention for doing it...good for her
