T-Bone Carter plays Lead Guitar. He picked up a guitar for the first time at the age of ten and that was the start of a passionate, whirlwind relationship with the instrument that has lasted for more than 30 years and continues to get stronger everyday. Completely self-taught, he was initially drawn to the harder side of music gaining a full mastery of all styles of Rock guitar playing while at the same time he was still fascinated with guitar playing of any and all styles driving him to then conquer Jazz and Classical playing but he especially loved the Blues guitar greats such as Albert Collins, Johnny Winter and Albert King.
"I can't believe any one person can play like that", was the initial reaction he had when he got his first taste of Country guitar pickers like Brad Paisley, Albert Lee and Brent Mason with their seemingly effortless displays of Country guitar techniques such as "chicken pickin'", utilizing both the guitar pick, first, second, sometimes the third and even fourth fingers of the picking hand. With a wide-eyed amazement of guitarists like these, that he hadn't felt since his childhood, T-Bone enthusiastically boarded the Country guitar jet plane and has been flying high ever since.
