Claims

  1. Clarence White showed that the acoustic guitar could solo on bluegrass chord changes; Tony Rice, with J.D. Crowe & the New South, took guitar solos that held their own with banjo, mandolin and dobro, and later brought jazz harmonies and rhythms into the David Grisman Quintet and his own bands.
    "pioneered the acoustic guitar as a soloing instrument in string bands"
