First a word about the Finger Style method of playing.


Chet Atkins Finger Style method, sometime known as Thumbpicking, is difficult because you play the bass and melody at the same time. Chet Atkins and Merle Travis were the main innovators of this style and brought it to the attention of the music world. Chet and Merle are no longer with us but their playing style will remain as a monument to the finger style method of guitar playing.

It is our purpose to perpetuate the Finger Style or the Thumbpicking method of guitar playing by trading "licks" and have a pleasant time.
