North Carolina Thumb & Finger Style Guitar Convention

[deltoid]

Went to the 2005 North Carolina Thumb & Finger Style Guitar Convention saturday. It was held at Mitchell College in Statesville. For a person that loves fingerpicking guitar, I couldn't have asked for a better day. Everywhere you went there was somebody flawlessly playing a Chet Atkins tune. There were lots of awesome guest artists. Buster B. Jones was there dazzling everyone with his trademark speed and humor. I didn't think anyone would be able to follow Buster's act, but we also had the privledge of Richard Smith! He's an absolute genius. If you ever get a chance to see either one of these guys, I promise you won't be disappointed. I'm looking forward to next year!

Awesome Deltoid! Glad you got to go. What a treat. What was it Chet Atkins said about Buster B. Jones? I think it was "He plays like he's double parked"

Hearing you at Monroestock, it sounds like you've got some licks of your own though.

Thanks for sharing!

You just missed out. I went to the 2005 North Carolina Thumb & Finger Style Guitar Convention saturday in Statesville NC as well. By the end of the evening my poor arms were just to tired to hold my Jaw up off the floor anymore. NUF said.....! :cool:
