I think what The Master Tony is trying to say,is be ourselves. I've played for 50 years, and never heard anyone like Tony Rice. Years ago,I modeled myself, and my style, as many have done, as Tony Rice. God Bless him...but like he said, he beat us to it. He wants us to do it our way,as he done it his way.

As happens with all of us, father time caught up with him and his skills diminished some til he was no longer able to play and sing as he had when he was in his prime.

What he says at 6:59 about clones is still 100% true. High end proficiency with zero individual creativity ~ no personal spirit. It's the same in all music genres. People seem to fall for it more and more. He says it so perfectly. No negativity. Just try to play from your own heart & soul. Not to match or better someone else's work. I think that may be why there is so little timeless music being made these days. It's technical wizardry, but it sounds empty & mechanical. Nicely edited footage. Brought it all together very nicely. Thank you.

Saw Tony the 1st time that I knew who I was seeing because I been taken to bluegrass festival since birth but I went to see the Tony Rice Unit at the Down Home in Johnson City Tenn when I was 13yrs old. Jason, Amy and Charlie Burleson took me and little did I know that 35yrs later he would be my lifetime favorite musician. I have listened exclusively to Tony with a sprinkling of other bluegrass music my entire life. I can't tell you who is popular right now in country or any other form of music. I'm thankful William Apostle is playing now. Him and Tony's body of work will hopefully get me through the next 35yrs.

Wise man.I can’t say how much this I agree.I learned this about 20 years ago the hard way when I studied in music college.I had to do an end of semester recital with a couple jazz tunes.It was my first year so I took my friend to play drums.the problem was he’s a rock drummer.so the teachers examining the recital stopped the playing after like a few bars and told him that ain’t swing.afterwards when I was left alone with them or maybe just with my private guitar teacher (that was in the room as well) I was told to always choose to play with musicians that are good or better than you, not necessarily with your best friends.pretty much the same message Tony said here.since then I realy see how that helped me progress unlike others that just keep playing with friends and stay on the same level.

Funny cause that last bit of advice about not becoming a parody act is so true? A guitar player I follow has taken this to heart in a big way and each time he plays, tries to play with honesty and genuine feeling and the difference from when he was just following the crowd is like night and day. You can have all the talent in the world but if it’s not genuine, you’d be amazed how folks BS detectors will go off lol.
