I saw Bob on 4 nights in 2019 and 2021 in Milwaukee, Chicago and South Bend Indiana. I think he had a guitar for the opening song and for the closing song on some nights, but I don't think he was playing it. I've read that he has arthritis, and piano is easier to play.
Really cool stuff. I may be in the minority on this, but I think Dylan's guitar playing was (is?) one of the most distinctive aspects of his art. I missed it when it basically departed. He discussed it in Chronicles how he learned part of his technique from Lonnie Johnson.
In Prague, mid 90ies, he didn't play instruments for a few shows at all. Maybe harmonica...

Thanks Ray. Great article.

Really nice to have these clips of latter-day guitar playing gathered - thank you.
