Hot Pickers: The next generation

4:15 p.m. Sunday, sun-baked Town Park, Telluride:    Almost every year one picker rises to the audience's collective jaw-dropping attention at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Longtime attendees remember the first time a Bela Fleck or a Marc O'Connor or a Jerry Douglas first took the stage and their place among the elite players. This is the year of Guthrie Trapp, a remarkable Nashville-based acoustic and electric guitarist. His fluidity and creativity on the baby-blue Telecaster reminded listeners of the legendary Albert Lee. Trapp is a member of Jerry Douglas' band and also came out for the Sam Bush all-star encore and cranked-out amazing solos on "One Love," the Bob Marley classic, and "Rollin' in My Sweet Baby's Arms."
