Volunteers

Tappistry.Org is created and operated by volunteers. This world-wide non-profit volunteer association is called the Tappers Guild. That is, this site is run by musicians, for musicians, and for the love of music. And specifically, to help to spread the word about this wonderful manner of playing guitar and bass which we call 'two-handed tapping.'

We invite you to join in.

Tappistry.Org needs:

• Editors
• Content Gurus (hunter/gatherers for content)
• Resource Guru (manage the Resource pages)
• Graphic Artists
• Web Coder with PHP skills
• Online Promo Guru and Offline Promo Guru (to get the word out)
• Roving Reporters
• Article Writers (and Article Re-printers)
• Lots of Moderators

Most of all -- We Need You!

Volunteers receive no pay, but you are immediately made a Tappistry Guild member (no dues), and you'll have access to the in-house 'Team' and 'Moderate' forums. It's fun to participate, and you can help to make the world a better place with just a little of your time.

To become a Tappistry.Org volunteer and find your way to help out, please contact the Tappistry.Org Co-Ordinator, Olli-Pekka Rinta-Koski (rockola) directly.

Thank you! We look forward to working with you!
