Welcome.

 
 
I would like to share a few excerpts from some of my own compositions. These are only small sections only designed to show you a new picking pattern. I have been influenced by so many great artists and their songs. From Led Zepplin, Kansas, Fleetwood Mac, Leo Kottke, Chet Atkins, The Beatles, Jerry Reed, Merle Travis, Paul Simon, John Williams, Christopher Parkening,  and a host of others. When you mix all those styles together you can get your own style going with your own unique tunes. My Take a Bite Out of Life CD which is more of a song-oriented work, reveals a great number of fingerpicking tunes. Go to my other website to see my albums. www.raytutaj.com 
CD may be purchased worldwide via Amazon.com and CD Baby!
