- I´d like to share with you this previously unseen footage of our musical hero and fine gentleman, Mr.Tony Rice, with the consent of Mr.Chris Walz. The entire video here:
• Music in the Attic - "...
Is it weird to feel emotional about someone you never met.
This guy is on an other level.
You're not alone. I get emotional watching Tony in his later years as well!
I had that same feeling. What comes through is his warmth as a human being, whether he's playing or speaking.
That was me who requested fishscale. I just about cried when I found this online. One of the greatest days of my life, right up there with when I graduated from Parris Island. And maybe more so.
Semper Fi
last year i stopped into a yardsale that was goin on to my suprise the guy had a santa cruz leaning up against a table,i played it for awhile he said that guitar was meant for me,200 bucks i could take it home ,i said brother you shouldnt have this instrument out in the weather its a hand crafted instrument worth at least 15 times more than he was asking,it took 30 minutes to convince him to take it in the house and reconsider selling it,get sick to my stomach when i think about ,smoothest guitar i ever touched made me sound like a mistro....man was lucky im a God fearing man
Man, that's brilliant. There are more nice guitars than chances to do deeds like this. And cheers for getting it out of the sun, just reading about it sitting out there was like fingernails on a blackboard. Yikes.
As much as as I would love finding a deal like that I would’ve done exactly like you did I would’ve sat down and said look man you have a very valuable instrument here and I would help him look it up online just to give him an example of what it was worth great job brother
Sounds like me. I can’t take advantage like that. That person needs the money!
Good work, and thank you! You saved a good guitar and helped spread some needed knowledge.
Amen
My favorite guitarist of all time. Not just his work on the instrument. He's inter-dimensional with his gift. RIP Tony Rice ❤
Priceless and Timeless. I would have paid just to watch him tune up. Thanks for sharing.
amen he is awesome all the time
Guys like Tony set a level that most will never reach..
wow is that true ! you nailed it !
Tony says "something simple", tunes by ear and then casually rips it up. I sure do love his music.
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.
Ohhh, dear friend… How we all miss you. 😔💔
Man… he really was one of the absolute best, ever.
I’ve never seen this video before and he said so many things that I relate to and that resonated with me.
Thanks for sharing this.
Just stumbled upon this video, a real treat for sure. Thanks for posting it! Big big TR fan.
“The better musicians that you can surround yourself with the better off you’re gonna be..”
Pure wisdom we can apply to anything important to us we want to do…thank you for sharing this video gem
Tony alone was my inspiration 70s forward..Met him numerous times..what a nice man...RIP Tony..legend!
@@guitarlobos5069 Everyday the 🎶guitar hops up on my knee singin get down pops it's song time🎶You stay safe too brother✌️
He was so so deep musically spiritually creatively... I can't really fathom his absence yet.
It's still hard knowing he's gone.
amen
I’ve been a fan of Tony’s for forty years plus. What he has done with and for the acoustic guitar can’t be measured in this life. I regard him as one of the finest guitarists ever. His memory and music lives on.
I´m always impressed with how hard he picks
Put my son to bed a few hours ago. Its midnight and I’m gettin in some last minute practice. was picking through John Henry and working “Around the Horn” licks and came across this. God i wish i had the chance to meet Tony, but in a way i feel like he’s with us pickers and listeners. Thanks Tony for your words of wisdom. Hope we can have a jam in heaven sometime in the not so near future if all goes well, HA!
I could watch Tony’s right hand all day he makes picking seem effortless and smooth. He’s so humble
Some ppl knew it & many did not. Tony Rice was truly a man of the ppl with very much love in his heart. This video shows that in spades with his down to Earth nature & eagerness to help ppl accel at being themselves. He knew this was key advice to happiness in life as well as how it relates to being a good musician. Farewell for now Tony. We'll see you again on the other side when it's our time to be called up!!!!!!!
And so now you are there…
@@katherinefox3909 I don't understand your meaning.😕
'You are as good as the people you are surrounding yourself with'.
True, and not just with musicians, but with people in general.
yeah I saw tony play a couple times in LA about 38 years ago. a really nice touch
I play guitar myself and have gotta say that, that was the strangest tuning of a guitar I ever seen...
You have to appreciate somebody that’s just really good at what they do maybe the best no matter what it is
Beautiful..and the message about being yourself is priceless.
Always amazed at how much control Tony had with his pick, such precise pick control/direction
I miss a man I never even met. That speaks more than anything else to the powerful bong music creates between people, and I think that’s something that’ll outlast both Tony and me. Even though it breaks my heart that he’s gone, we always have that to hold on to, and I’m ok with that.
I love that smoking' powerful bong music ! Man ...
@@RagtimeAnnie lol poorly timed typo
thanks for this beautiful share! from France !
This is priceless… just found it. His words of wisdom and insight at the end literally gives me goosebumps…wow. RIP Mr. Rice, you are one if the all time greats!
What he said at the end was very inspiring. It was all inspiring. I wish more people were like Tony.
Tony thanks for everything
Tony, Any musician who had the pleasure of playing with you should feel blessed! What a fine man and musician: Rest in Peace My Friend.
There was only one Tony...he will always be missed, he was a musical genius and just a super guy, I was fortunate enough to meet and talk to him after a show he did with Norman...He was just a very real and personable guy, will never forget it
This is really special. His words at the end both convict and inspire me to be who I'm called to be. Thank you for sharing this.
Well said Im feeling that too man.
Sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a method to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@Jerome Tomas Instablaster =)
@Franklin Drake thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Franklin Drake it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out !
THE Man is talking....
I don't know about you folks.....
But I'm listening.
Thanks for this piece of awesomeness!!
Ive always admired and loved listening to him play. 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. I can say this with all the confidence in the world, he's playing and singing in heaven like he's never played and sang before. One day I'll get to see him in person. Thank you Lord for Tony Rice
amen very good
Rest In Peace Tony, Thank you for your great contribution to our lives, God Bless You and your Family
very nice
A definite guitar hero in my book, from tone to navigating the instrument nincely your music lives on Tony!
A true legend. I followed Mr Tony for many years. Always clean,clear and original. What a talent. RIP
Tony was always real. Every time I talked to him, he was always straight up about pickers and his love of music. Progress as much as you can. I wish I had made it to where he wanted me to get to.
Thank you for the video. Wonderful wonderful words of music/life advice from Tony. Priceless.
A lot of people that can play guitar but not like this cool guy and be willing to share what he knows priceless.
What a guitar player and what a wonderful guy! Thank you so much for sharing and God bless everyone from Patrick
Many thanks to spend time to share that kind of video. We can dream Tony is still with us.
A gift to inspire generations. Thank you Tony!
yes !
One class guitar picker...the best I've heard...a big big loss to the world of music.......
Thank you for this. I liked it very much.
Wow tony rice what an awesome musician n truly a legend!
Tonys smile is wonderful it shines out on days where we mourn the great one and those inbetween. We will all greatly miss him but we will meet him again... not on this earthly planet, but somewhere! Thanks for this pal
Thank you for your inspiration. Even when he was tuning up it was engrossing!
Humble brilliant human being..A true artist and American icon..Rest in peace Tony.. The song has ended but the melody still lingers
Great tribute.
thanks so much for sharing this! truly appreciated. this man paved the way for us all! RIP Tony! sadly missed!
Hey Randy, I love your videos. I lived near Tony and enjoyed a friendship with him for over twenty years. This was great. I've just gotten to where I can enjoy listening to him again without the dark cloud appearing to ruin it. He was a genuine good guy.
Thank you for this marvelous upload. Listening to Tony explain some of the intricacies of his playing style is great.
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.
Great words of advice. RIP Tony Rice.
“You are as good as the musicians you surround yourself with.” Such wisdom, wow. Wish I had heard this and taken it to heart 15 years ago!
The only problem is when you can't find anyone that likes to play the same music as you.
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.
When we were young, Tony told me to always try to play with someone better than you are because you learn more.
Tony, when you see Larry C. again, tel him I said hi!
Thanks for putting this together and sharing...
I saw Tony years ago at Merle Fest or some bluegrass festival can't remember. Man he was the GOAT.
He has such a gracious manner.
Oooh yes!!! Now if my kids could fall asleep so i can watch.
Keep your kids up and let them absorb this amazing knowledge.
Thanks for the inspiration from the late Tony Rice..rest in peace Sir.
His greatest gift is his love of music which shines through in the warmth of his playing. He's very much like Chet Atkins in that respect.
Legend. Thanks for sharing such a great video!
I love your approach toward let's see what happen. It really does allow for untapped in the moment, or
your at least as good as the musians you surround yourself with.
Thank you for insight you probably just encouraged 1000s to keep at it.
Doug 😎
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.
Beautiful
One of my Favourite Acoustic Guitar Musicians ..Freeborn Man ..
Give a listen to Shenandoah and sample this man’s range if you will. I think you’ll like it if you haven’t heard it before.
that was excellent, wisdom. thanks
Hello! Nice upload! It's great
video! Nice playing! |
really like it! Very interesting!
Thank you for sharing! 👍🙏💥
Pretty fascinating to hear how much his playing is contingent on the band accompanying him. Thanks for uploading this.
I think he's being overly humble, everything he plays sounds good.
I think it’s that’s a product of how good he truly was. He had the most solid rock base to play off of anyone whose ever held an instrument, yet the selflessness to know that we’re always better with other like minded folks to feed off of.
This man was just pure class. Thanks for posting.
What a guy. Fare thee well, Maestro.
man this video is gold with how the angle shows his right hand technique.
Very Sad News indeed, an amazing Guitarist, R. I. P
Miss Tony so much...thank you
You're only as good as the musicians you surround yourself with. That's why the very best surrounded themselves with you Tony Rice.😢
Life lessons from one of the best ever. Thank you Tony
Wonderful, thanks for sharing this video
Rest in peace my cousin. You've got your voice back.
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.
Exactly right. Roy Buchanan was the same, no compromise, play from the heart.
So wonderful... thanks for sharing.
All of it, but that last little bit, says it all.. so thank you Tony
its real and it is wisdom.. Tony not wasting his time or ours.
players only know, you when your playing
Beautiful and magnificent. RIP, Sir.
Thank you. A great video of a legend.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
He was a phenomenal guy. Great words of advice. The musical bonds will last forever. RIP.
What a sorrow he's gone. To me, he is the best for his picking, phrasing and when he could sing ... what a wonderful voice he had. I really miss him. Got to see him up close several times when he was in my area. He had such a big heart for his fans ...
Easily my favorite person ever ... easily.
I'm watching this as tears well up. Tony had the ability to really speak from within.Hearing his verbal advice strikes the same emotion and inspiration as his music. A message that would benefit everyone.
I'm with you Woodsman, I cried when I heard from my brother that Tony passed away.
Love this man with all my heart and soul. Thank you for sharing.
THANKFUL for the music he gave -especially VOCALS from early on!!
wow man. that last bit brought me to tears. appreciate the upload.
His philosophy on guitar and music was so simple. Be yourself. He was truly one of a kind and an inspiration to me and countless other guitarists from many different countries and walks of life. Godspeed Tony Rice.
Sweet man . Thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot for sharing, this is priceless.
It was like he played two different parts on the guitar. I've been a fan for 20 years (I came in late) and he still moves me with his fiddle pickin'.
R.i.P. God bless you Tony!!!!! We will always miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was wonderful. Especially the audio at the end, I am going to send this to my daughters, to apply to everything they do in life.
...Tony's a national treasure ....thx for posting 👍
God put this man on earth to prove to us MUSIC DOES come from heaven
