JUST US: 14 COMPLETE NOTATION & TAB TRANSCRIPTIONS by Buster B. Jones, produced by Thomas Redmond Photo
Although Buster's scorching fingerpicking is most impressive at first glance, a closer look at "Just Us" reveals that he is equally adept at what many musicians consider a more difficult task: playing fewer notes... ones that mean more, and say more with less. "Just Us" is an album consisting largely of originals. Along the way we are treated to a barn-storming version of "Alabama Jubilee" (it must be tunes like this that caused Chet Atkins to say of Jones "He plays like he's double-parked"), "Collage-a-Reed" and "Clawin'" (each inspired by mentor Jerry Reed), while "Let the Sun Shine In" sounds like an instant fingerpicking classic that you could swear you have heard before, but haven't. Including detailed notation on 15 of Buster's songs from "Just Us," this book/CD lesson will challenge even the best players. Note/tab.
