Fingerstyle can sound traditional like Chet Atkins, or more contemporary like Andy McKee,” said one of the event organizers Chuck Wills.“ All of our players train and practice intensely. Not just to play each note the best they can, but to create their own song arrangements. Part of their score is on originality and arrangement of their piece.”
The style of music played by the musicians runs the gamut of musical categories, from classical guitar to modern new age to flamenco. Wills said there are many ways of playing fingerstyle as well, such as fingerpicking, Travis picking, new age fingerstyle, slack-key guitar, classical, and flamenco.
