I've been wondering about her! From Vulture and New York magazine, this link might be active only a short time. She has a brief Wikipedia entry.

Back in October 2020, months after Diondre Cole dared to inquire “What up with that?” to viewers at home, a pink guitar beckoned from the stage as Saturday Night Live returned to its normal studio programming. There, just off to the right and in the back of the opening monologue frame, was guitarist Maddie Rice making her debut as part of the show’s live band. Young, hip, and barely 30 years old at the time, the newest addition of the Saturday Night Live Band was notable for a few reasons….

And she talks some theory here, pentatonic and dorian.  I've always admired her.  She and Molly Tuttle were classmates.

And I would say that her long thin fingers contribute to her success, but then I look (in amazement) at Steve's fingers!

Or Johnny Hiland pork chop fingers. 
 

well Maddie (and Molly) will play guitar better than I can ever dream of . 
On these “talk shows “ you never really get to hear the band, really only for the studio audience. 
as for SNL . The opening monologue is usually quite boring and usually fast forward it; as most of the show till Weekend Updates , (but as a guitarist, I always check of the band in back , and Maddie)

as for these “Famous “ musical guests , I’m stunned at how poor the production/performance is from pre-recorded sound tracks of the musician guests.

think omg. I have to sound better

THANKS @DianeB and @Nancy Lawing for bringing guitarist Maddie Rice to my attention, I made a concerted effort to find her in the band that I otherwise would have missed without this string. She has been in 2 SNL shows that I've seen since I read this. As Nancy pointed out you could see she has the fingers for it and I hope they will bring her out front more to feature some of her playing. Kinda like they did with GE Smith occasionally.

Have a great week, stay well.
