I'm putting together a list of course books/booklets/teaching materials etc. that users recommend. If you have favorites, please alert me to their titles and where they can be purchased? I will soon publish the complete list on my website. ...Tom (tommybradshaw@gmail.com)

Re: Recommend Instructional Materials
I've probably owned pretty much every course from early Tab sold by the Emmons Co. by various name players, BE's LP course, near antique Sho-Bud Course (even still have Jeff's first Tab Course), talking CD's and even Cassettes, and VCR Video and later DVD conversions or editions. A lot of which I liquidated to you, Tom.
In hindsight, I feel the ones which were the most useful and well presented by people which not only could play, but could TEACH were the following:
- Jeff Newman's VIDEOS E9th as well as C6th. Jeff was not just one of the most tasteful players, but a Master at TEACHING.
- Maurice Anderson's E9th "The Missing Link" (which should be edited to video). Maurice was a Master at TEACHING as well and a very analytic mind. Get this course (IF you can find one) BEFORE getting hooked on Tab, and you will never need Tab!
- Paul Franklin's Online Course (E9th & C6th). PF evidently a Master Musician.
- Joe Wright's VIDEO courses are VERY well structured, like Jeff's with some newer material.
... J-D.

A Little Mental Health Warning:
Tablature KILLS SKILLS.
The uses of Tablature is addictive and has been linked to reduced musical fertility.
Those who produce Tablature did never use it.
I say it humorously, but I mean it.
