History: The Kentucky Thumbpickers Club was formed on April 1, 1990 and was the first
thumbpicking club organized. The purpose of the club is to promote and perpetuate the playing of thumbstyle guitar as
performed by Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, Jerry Reed and the other legends.
We began as friends picking on Friday night and now many years later, we
are still friends picking on Friday nights. Come join us.
KTPC is truly an international organization with members in Scotland, England, Australia,
France and other countries as well as pickers throughout Kentucky and all around the United States.
