I hardly ever pick up my guitar any more – but at one time I played a lot, and even sometimes performed with “Small Potatoes” – a pick up band in the area.
I was working as a paramedic at the time, and when I was lucky enough to have a quiet moment during the shift, I’d pull out the Taylor and wear the strings down trying to sound like Tony Rice. But nobody sounds like Tony Rice.

Thanks for sharing. No doubt channeling Rice:
