This guy is fantastic! I've never heard finger style rag guitar played at this intensity before. Chet Atkins is right saying Buster is the best fingerpicker he's heard since jerry reed! Just Fantastic!!

I can't believe no other consumer review appears here for this excellent video. Well, I hope this review will help some more folks check out the work of Mr. Buster B. Jones. If you love solo guitar picking and music in the style of Jerry Reed, Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, Doyle Dykes, and/or play guitar yourself, this video is an absolute must for your collection. This man's technique is just jaw-dropping and watching him play will produce that "deer in headlights" look on your face, GUARANTEED. As far as the songs, only "Lucy and Linus" will probably be familiar to the average music listener and it's excellent but they're all superb performances, and on the closing two tracks, the late Merle Travis' son, Thom Bresh joins Buster for a couple of amazing instrumental duets. Again, if you're an aspiring guitarist (or long-time player, it doesn't really matter) who wants to learn solo acoustic fingerstyle, I recommend you get this video and watch it many times. It's NOT an instructional video, it's a recorded performance, but if you watch this guy play and let his technique sink in, over time you're bound to pick up something from his playing to make you a better player. I'll very likely buy this again if it comes out on DVD because I'm sure I'll wear the video out, it's that good!
