This video presents Tony in three different settings recorded at the 1992 Merle Watson Festival playing a wide variety of music all stamped with his personal style and sound. Tony Rice has practiced his flatpicked art to great acclaim in both traditional bluegrass and innovative acoustic circles. He is perhaps the greatest innovator in acoustic flat-picked guitar since Clarence White. Tony recently remarked in a Country Guitar interview, 'Others have said about me from time to time that I have a unique tone and balance on the instrument. I just kind of play it the way I hear it.'
