Wyatt's rhythm playing is always sublime.

[ansonlytle]

Comparing David to Dan Crary is like comparing Byron Berline to Richard Green. David has taste, technique, and a unique sound that is VERY identifiable. If you had to compare his style, Clarence White might be a better direction to go. Crary is a talented picker but he always sounds like he's fighting the guitar. Nobody gets paid by the note.

He dresses very respectfully.  Somebody sloppy disrespects their audience. Goatee is a sign that a person is power-hungry.

He's in my town tonight, and I never heard of him, so that's why I'm here. Several points: he is better than Tony Rice or Randy Scruggs, but still I would rather hear Randy Scruggs, because I like his spirit and I don't like this "liberal" spirit. Other point, I don't want to hear a song called "Wheelin", but one called "Logan", get me?

He made one mistakin. It's not in the dorian nor phryggian scale. That is a mistakin.

David Grier has right hand technique enough to kill a horse.

[TheTimothyjtaylor]

David Grier to me IS economy. The amount of beauty that he gets out of the least amount of work is simply amazing. He is not fighting the guitar at all because if he feels like he is going to have to fight to get a sound he finds something else to play that's easier and sounds just as good, cause in the end the sound is what matters and people can hear you straining. In some music that works, I guess, but certainly not in modern bluegrass or new acoustic music.
