    Magic fingers. Pulling tone... Nice mandola too.

    Yep. Nice! What a right hand she has

    I wish I could ask her why she goes from closed to open fist while playing. I noticed her do the same another video someone posted

    Honestly Sierra is my favorite mandolinist these days. Shes got such a great touch and style and most importantly her music is great. Not just flashy playing in a vacuum

    I think shes actually under-rated, which is saying something because shes pretty highly rated
