Review Even if you stripped out the instructional aspects of his videos, they d still be a mind blower. Buster B. Jones is, plain and simple, amazing. --Dirty Linen About the Actor 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 "Lime-house 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 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." --Guitar Player Magazine
