I think you are correct, this is at least partially due to my own ignorance of many fine guitarist. With diligence, I hope to correct that.

If anyone is interested in the history of country music, what influenced it and what it has influenced, you will enjoy the PBS 16 hour series produced by documentary great Ken Burns. There is a lot of very interesting history here, some of it is very surprising to me. You can stream it now as I have been doing. Unfortunately, I only have one episode left to view.
PBS PAGEExplore the history of a uniquely American art form: country music. From its deep and tangled roots in ballads, blues and hymns performed in small settings, to its worldwide popularity, learn how country music evolved over the course of the 20th century, as it eventually emerged to become America’s music. Country Music features never-before-seen footage and photographs, plus interviews with more than 80 country music artists. The eight-part 16-hour series is directed and produced by Ken Burns.
The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible - Arthur C. Clarke

I thoroughly enjoyed the series. I too learned many things about country music even though I have been surrounded by it all my life and been a fan of it for a long time. The series featured many of my favs and surprises. Who would know that Marty Stewart was a historian and great spokesman of the genre. I didn’t even know he was a star mandolin player.Originally Posted by Mike

My only complaint is that not enough performances were played.
