Location: Boise, Idaho | I'd actually heard of him, which is surprising. I may have discovered him when I was looking for fingerstyle instructional videos a couple years ago. He has a bunch out there, but I never got any of his. Something else to put on the list. |

Location: Cicero, NY | I've got a couple of them, Mark, and they're alright. Very basic but I guess I asked for that when I got the From The Ground Up dvd's. Unfortunately they haven't helped me much but I wouldn't blame that on the Buster. Beyond the instructional dvd circuit, I know nothing about the guy. |

Location: SoCal | This guy was just a monster fingerpicker, taking what Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, and Jerry Reed did, and taking it all a step further. Seriously people, check out youtube (Buster B Jones)..... |
