Tony Rice is probably my favorite because of his ability to switch from jazz to bluegrass with ease....and he is also a heckuva rhythm player. But, I am a HUGE Norman Blake fan. Maybe it's because is playing is a bit more linear and I can understand what he's doing (but would never be able to actually do it myself). And I love his voice -- it may not be the greatest instrument but he writes fine songs and never over extends himself. I've listened to him more often than not for close to 40 years.

I totally agree with your assessment of Norman Blake's voice....it has a lot of "seemingly easy" charm!
Tony Rice , of course, is one ofthe finest in anyone's book........I'm always looking for that bit of Jazzy phrasing!
When I decided to flat pick on acoustic (after a LONG time on electric guitar & banjo!)........I listened to all the pickers I could....some wonderful technically, but I didn't relate to them....other, equally great technicians, who "said something to me!"
My playing progressed....sometimes quickly....sometimes slowly!.......I was adhering to picking..... Down/Up/Down/Up etc.....my son Scott (a pro musician) was listening to me playing one of the flat pickers "standards".....He heard me play it through.....and then go through it again. "Why are you trying to change your picking?" he asked. "I'm trying to follow the correct action in the tutorial" I replied
"But your brain already knew where to go with the pick .....the phrases are similar to what you have often played in other genres....why confuse it!"
Good advice....I had to agree!......My practising over the years, allowed me to play pretty fast....so I just concentrate on "playing the music".... and "putting myself into it!" That's what I try to do now. Regards, Joe G.

Gotta agree with you again "Your Donship!" But what a choice to have to make! Even before my interest in Flat Picking, Tony Rice was one of my favourite "Blue Grass" voices.....I was so sorry to hear what happened to him.
Keep well Don. Your Scottish Friend, Joe G.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
