In my humble abilities I have been fortunate enough to use some great picks on guitars that I do not deserve. I have several tortoise shells that dear friends gave me long ago. They are like playing with a fingernail and even shape to your fingers...
This is the club for all you pickers who have
discovered the excellent Blue Chip picks.
Here is a group for people who have Martin Guitars, or is looking for one, or if you just really like Martin Guitars!
This group is for members who are working with the 8-Volume Flatpicking Essentials course written by Dan Miller and Tim May. This is the place to meet others who are working with the course and share your arrangements.

I was looking over the long list of members when I noticed you are from Peoria.
A long time ago, almost another lifetime it seems.. maybe the late 70's, I went to work at the Powerton Powerhouse in Pekin , after a bad explosion destroyed a portion of the main building.
A bunch of us Ironworkers from Joliet came down for varying times to work on the repairs. One thing I always do is look for a music store in an area when away from home. and I remember going to a guitar shop, in a big old house if I remember rite. I am thinking it was called Applegate Guitars..
I ended up buying an album made by the owners . It is a job to find it but I think I may do so..
anyway, I am wondering if there is a connection, and if it may be another of lifes strange twists that bring the past to the present.
