Our
Club Heroes

We are
dedicated to enjoying and preserving the thumb picking finger style guitar music
of Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, and Jerry Reed in and around Ohio. If we don't promote and support
thumb-picking and finger style guitar - it will surely die with us.

The
latest issue (#69) of Fingerstyle Guitar magazine
is in book stores, now. The magazine recently
underwent an ownership change that delayed this
issue. Great full-page picture of Les Paul as you
open the mag. Great interviews and lessons from
many super guitarists: Andy McKee, Tim Thompson &
Tyler Grant, John Oates, Brad Prichter, Tim Sparks, Keith
Mack, John Knowles, Ken Hatfield, Jim Ohlschmidt, Rick
Washbrook and editor, Bill Piburn. GREAT ISSUE!!

Scotty
Anderson was simply stunning at Plainview
Farms in Lebanon, Ohio a couple Saturdays ago (9/19/09.) No better way to watch one of most
incredible finger style (any style, actually) guitarists
in the world play - right up close and
personal.
