“The best guitarists in the world...”
How about Tony Rice? He’s the best I have ever heard.
Yup, I noticed that omission also.
Tony is one of my favorite guitarists as well.

Exactly! Lately, I've been working on licks that have a certain 'Rice' feel. It hasn't been easy as I've got to get my baby finger out of the picture (my early influence was Doc Watson- not bluesy).
Lots of down-sliding and pull-offs that can be slippery at times. It just sounds so great. To use an analogy, listenting to Tony is almost like watching someone slip and slide on a frozen sidewalk without falling down. Very amusing to the ear.
