Had to revisit this marvelous YT piece since Tony has passed. Chris, you have not only paid a wonderful tribute with your playing but you have captured Tony's essence as a person. Thank you.

Yar a legend Marc!!! Thanks bud

[@jasonodell79er]

Haven't watched in years. This is like my 30th viewing lol. Superb.

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

Thanks so much Jason- was a blast at the time - wanted to put right from the first which I kinda disliked

[@MickeyAbraham2022]

one of the best KZbin videos there is right here

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

Was good fun at the time mickey, payin homage to the legend while he was still here- felt I undersold the man on the first video I did - so I made this one to make up for it - thanks for the appreciation

[@adtorresitpro]

RIP Tony. We miss you dearly

[@iantaylor827]

That's brilliant too. Thanks for pointing me to it Chris. I was talking to a very good session player here in Brisbane who said Tony Rice changed how he played guitar. Now I know why.

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

Yeah once you hear it , study it .. ya fall into the trap and can’t get out !!!! Maybe ya don’t want out lol

[@williammouri1096]

The overall concept and production of this clip is absolute genius! The greatest movie makers in the world could do no better. This deserves several Oscars. I'm standing and applauding.

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

Thank you a million times William !! Thanks for pointin out the video - the subject and video for me was just as important if not more as anything I played in it

[@davesaraway3252]

I'm not really into bluegrass,im into musicianship,guitar,truth be told I only discovered Tony Rice via you tube,completely blown away by his virtuosity! Of many styles and many greats Mr Tony Rice is definitely one of the greatest! I'm born and raised in hawaii,every guitar player I know now knows the greatness of this incredible talent,I may be late to the awe of Tony Rice,as they say,better late than never,I have his entire back catalog to explore for life....thank you bluegrass,thank you for this video,and above all thank you Tony Rice....aloha all

[@nathanwhitsett6919]

Well....great production and tribute on these 2 videos, Chris B. Athough his name is not on the LP, the David Grisman Quintet 1977 album was a breakthrough for Tony because he caught everyone's ear with his solo playing on that album. I will never forget the first time I heard it. What a sound. Kind of felt bad for Grisman, 'cuz no one listened to him...it was all Tony even though he is only on a portion of the playing solo wise. Listening to him play on these 2 videos you have made brought such tears and great sadness knowing his health is so poor that he is no longer playing. No one plays at this level but Tony Rice. What a legacy for him to have his music for all to hear. So many thanks for producing these for my me and my kids to hear. They had no clue you could play an acoustic steel string like that!

[@nathanwhitsett6919]

I meant "him"...like you!

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

Nathan! thanks a million for that! yeah i really hope people who don't know find his music through these videos - i've yet to fully explore those Grisman albums with T on there or even all the "bluegrass album band" stuff too! so many albums

[@alejandroperez4051]

[@ejtonefan]

Your "Spaceview" reminded me a bit of Eric Johnson's clean rhythm playing; Eric Johnson, Tony Rice and Wes Montgomery are in a world of their own. I'm not sure that many acoustic guitarists have heard of Tony Rice. Your channel is spreading the great "Sound Of Tony".

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

I’m a fan also of EJ!! But yeah I’m glad you said about spreading the word - because that was at least one of the goals of that project to introduce more people to TR - to be a host, like I was when someone handed me a TR Album for the first time - thank you so much mark !!

Great Video! I'm extremely interested in the setup specs of your guitar! What is the string height at 12th and neck relief? If you don't mind me asking.

I’ll get back on exact mm but in the meantime, it’s as far down as you can possibly get on acoustic .. It can buzz if ya hit it too hard .. Im used with that tho as I play mainly electric guitar

Wow. But I doubt this is "every" TR lick... I heard him say he tried never to play the same lick twice, or without some variation.

Mark McCann some amount of ideas he had ehh?

If you watch some of the live videos of Tony’s he rarely changes licks. He just doesn’t do them in the same order. But his licks don’t need to be changed. They are amazing as they are.
