NC Thumb and Finger Style Guitar Players, INC

About Me

The North Carolina Thumb and Finger Style Guitar Players Association, Inc was founded in 1999 to help preserve the heritage of thumb and finger style guitar playing.
NCTAF is here to show the public the unique style that is thumb and finger picking. We are a network of pickers and fans. NCTAF meetings are a great place to meet world class pickers and get a chance to play with and learn from some of the best.
Our convention is changing venues! I will be posting more information on this very soon.
At the conventions, we have jam sessions, an open mic stage, beginning, intermediate, and master thumbpicking seminars, and nightly concerts. It is a great opportunity for thumb and fingerpicking.
The songs that are currently in the media player are picked by Clay Lunsford and Friends.
The collaboration on "Sweet Hour of Prayer" features Jason Lambreth on guitar, Mike Palmer on guitar, Billy Gee on bass, and Clay Lunsford on guitar.
-- From the CD: North Carolina Thumb and Finger Style Guitar Players, Inc. Volume 4.
The collaboration on "House of the Rising Sun," "El Commanchero," and "Reed's Breakdown" features Clay Lunsford on guitar, Mike Palmer on guitar, and J.P. VanHoy on bass.
-- From the CD: North Carolina Thumb and Finger Style Guitar Players, Inc. Volume 5.
If you are interested in any of NCTAF's CD's, send me a message!

Thanks for stopping by and listening! And may God bless!
