Buster Jones Guitar Sheet Music, Tab Books, Videos, DVDs,
Lessons In 1988, Brad "Buster" B. Jones entered Guitar Player Magazine's
International Guitar Competition with his own composition, "Back Porch
Boogie," and a rendition of "Limehouse Blues." He entered on a whim, at the
last minute, using a $1.50 K-Mart cassette tape and a boom box. There were
almost 900 entries, and he won on the first ballot. In 1990, he won the National Fingerpicking Championship at Winfield,
Kansas. In the last several years he has performed with Chet Atkins, Tommy Jones,
Marcel Dadi, Thom Bresh, and John Knowles. He is a regular at the annual
conventions in Nashville and France of the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society.
In France they have dubbed him "LE MACHINE GUN". "Buster B. Jones is an acoustic player, a fingerpicker, a country
flavored soloist - and he's one of the finest players we've heard in
years... His technique is only a means to an end. His true gifts are his
melodic sense, innate musicianship, and brilliant improvisational powers.
He can drive a tune with fluid rhythmic force or stroke it with sensuous,
loving touch... He's a monster player with chops galore, great ideas and
an encyclopedic reservoir of guitaristic influences."

As stated by Buster Jones
"Hot Licks, Rhythms & Grooves" is a journey through 30 years of my musical life.
I touch on many different styles &approaches to playing lead and rhythm guitar. My goal as a player is to expand
these perimeters and express what I feel musically. My goal as a teacher is to present this in such a manner
that you can absorb it, play it and then use the ideas and take them to new places. I hope you find this musical
adventure to be as enjoyable for you to learn from as it was for me to make".

Although his scorching fingerpicking was
most impressive, a closer look at "Just Us" reveals that Buster is
equally adept at what many musicians consider as a more difficult task: playing
fewer notes... ones that mean more and say more with less, as he does on album
opener "A Simple Gift", title cut "Just Us", and "One Sad Clown". Just Us
is an album consisting largely of his own compositions inspired by his two main
guitars "Merle" and "Pearl". Along the way we are treated to a barn-storming
version of "Alabama Jubilee" (it must be tunes like this that caused Chet Atkins
to say of Buster "He plays like he's double-parked"), "Collage-a-Reed" and "Clawin'"
(each inspired by mentor Jerry Reed), while "Let the Sun Shine In" sounds like
an instant fingerpicking classic that you could swear you have heard before, but
haven't! Songs include: "A
Second Glance, A Simple Gift, Alabama Jubilee, Be Like Dad, Collage-A-Reed,
Flight Path, Just Us, Last Request, Let the Sun Shine In, One Sad Clown, Pierpaolo, Still Live Five, The Thoughts of One, Thom's Thumb".
