Enhanced

Of course, anybody can sign up for a free membership and enjoy the forums, the articles, send and receive private messages, get their own control panel, and keep a buddy list. Everyone is welcome.

But we also encourage you to help support Tappistry.Org!

Help us make this site to be more and better!

How can you help? ... Sign up as a member of the Tappers Guild!

The Tappers Guild is a world-wide non-profit volunteer association of musicians interested in this wonderful method of playing guitar and bass which we call two-handed tapping.

• Dues are minimal, and furnish funds for the ongoing maintenance of this website.
• You'll get 'Tappers Guild Member' added to your profile, so others will know that you're contributing to this ongoing body of knowledge and world-wide community.
• You can obtain your own avatar to appear in your posts. Stand out!
• Post all your gigs on the world-wide Calendar. It's a good way to build your audience, build your gigs, boost sales of your CDs or teaching materials, and get the word out!

(Can you post your gigs to the calendar without being a Tappers Guild member? At present, yes. But don't you want to contribute, to be a part of it all?)

Special Offers:

Although dues are low to begin with, special reductions are available for students, retired, and single parents. Just ask.

Further, if you have a website and you'll give Tappistry.Org a prominent link on your site, you get Enhanced Membership free! (Your website should be a permanent, paid-for website that has some traffic, and your Tappers Guild Membership will be credited for a full year.) So link up!

To join the Tappers Guild, please contact our Records Guru, Ernie Jackson (Jamsire).

Thanks, and God Bless You.
