We love you and will miss you, Doc! Has anyone ever matched his musical taste and melodic sense? For all his amazing virtuosity, he never played to show off hot licks, everything was in service of the song. Dan, how about a special memorial issue of the magazine devoted to Doc, with stories from various flatpickers about his importance to them, and studies of some of his renditions of tunes? Without Doc, would there even be flatpicking as we know it?

My first Carbon was an Adamas.I currently play a Rainsong Dred.I discovered carbon Guitars 2 years ago in a local Guitar store and purchased one within a month. I played my first RainSong Dred about a year later and bought that one.I watched Scott Nygards reviews on you tube and that kinda got me searching.Anyone else play the fakes?See More
