Western Kentucky thumbpicking guitar style was made famous by guitarists Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, and Jerry Reed. They learned this style from a Muhlenberg County man named Mose Rager who, along with other guitarists in the area, developed a way to play bass, rhythm, and melody at the same time on one guitar by using a thumb-pick. Since 1993, the Kentucky Arts Council has supported masters and apprentices of community-based art forms with the Folk and Traditional Arts Apprenticeship program. Artists include traditional musicians, dancers, weavers, marble makers, chair makers, quilters, storytellers, and more.. + Informações
