A bluegrass lead guitarist known as the most infamous of the Clarance White imitators despite only basing his guitar style off of White's most cliche licks. After a short period of frustration, Rice gave up on copying White's melodic abilities and instead played the same generic licks in different orders on most every song. Rice then discovered Jazz Guitarists Eddie Lang and Django Reinhardt and released an attempt at a Jazz album "Manzanita" that bluegrass fans still cream themselves over today. While Rice's flatpicking style was limited to repeated cliche licks with no correlation to the melody, he was very consistent in his playing and had great rhythm, two traits his many fanboys never seem to grasp when learning his style. Rice began doing loads of Cocaine in the late 1980's, and thus his voice deteriorated and soon his face resembled that of a dying Walter Donovan from Indiana Jones. Despite these setbacks, Rice was still able to play guitar, yet he decided to retire in his fifties and lived off food stamps and donations from "concerned fans" despite being completely able to work but simply refusing to. Rice's legacy lives on among thousands of bluegrass guitarists who painstakingly learn his ten cliche licks and re-arrange them for all of Tony's Solos, while ignoring everything else about his guitar technique.
Guitarist - Yo man I just learned Tony Rice's version of Nine Pound Hammer!
Mandolin Player - wow that makes you the 10,329,614th person to figure it out, think you can stop doing that draggy thrashing mash rhythm now?
Guitarist - Bro rhythm is so overrated, on god imma go listen to Manzanita and learn a really crappy version of it.
