I was lucky enough to see him play a number of times; whether live or recorded, no matter how closely I listened or watched his hands, I could never figure out how he made so many intertwined lines of music come out of one guitar & one flatpick.
In one of the tributes I heard on the radio yesterday, one of his longtime collaborators remarked on how sharp a musician had to be to keep up with him. You could tell he was smiling when he said "You know, Doc never played a song the same way once."
RIP, Doc.
I was fortunate to see him play at Merlefest numerous times with Alison Krauss and even Bela Fleck. Absolutely amazing musician. One of my faves:
