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.

Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine is all about celebrating finger style guitar. Great articles, instructional tab, and an accompanying CD. Our sport's best rag.

Fred Kelly makes some of the best thumb picks in the music business. Give 'em a try.

Stonebridge Guitars
Beautifully built and sounding guitars endorsed and played by a couple of our fingerstyle guitar heroes: Thom Bresh & Richard Smith.

This web site was thrown together with FrontPage 2000 - and though it's better than nothing - it's still very frustrating gittin' it to do what I want it to do, sometimes...... I should be spending this time pickin'.... Web Hacker & Club Organizer - Palmer Moore Say Hello
