Tony Rice was my first guitar hero. He has inspired me and so many others to strive to excel on the acoustic stage, explore new genres, and never be afraid to take risks. Discovering Rice’s way of playing and singing is discovering his deep love for the music that flows every note and his passion for sharing that beautiful gift with the Play Guitar Pet Dogs Vintage Sunset limited Shirt world. His extensive portfolio of recordings reflects a curious spirit to explore the undiscovered territory on his instrument. Many of us have learned the songs of Rice and sang every note, but no one can make guitar sounds like him. He continues to set standards for guitar playing and singing.

You can hear Rice’s classic vocals and signature guitar styles in full play within the first few seconds of this song. To this day, Rice is in a league of its own as both a singer and an instrument player. When this recording came out in 1973, the licks you heard at first were unlike anything else done on a guitar. His technical versatility and his note choices often break the melody of the song and rely heavily on the blues and scales to create his own sound. Now, his style has been imitated by countless players. Nearly 50 years since the release of “Freeborn Man,” the recordings Rice made throughout his life continues to set the Play Guitar Pet Dogs Vintage Sunset limited Shirt standard for playing the great bluegrass guitar.

Rice’s lead and rhythm play combine the intensity of bluegrass with the harmonious complexity of jazz in a way no other guitar player in the world has at this time. I like this tune because the melody Grisman plays at the beginning is very engaging and approachable, and then Rice takes it to a different dimension than his solo. For me, Manzanita is Rice’s quintessential solo album because it shows his talent as a composer and his versatility as a guitar player and singer at the top of his game. “Manzanita” is the only original song on the album, but it shows Rice becoming a composer of his own and demonstrating his unique interpretation of jazz through the lens of bluegrass guitar playing.
