The other also written by the same was Stardust around that same period. These songs are classics and very beautiful.

Don't know if I posted this in the right place. It might be a help to Kirk if we did some research for him as I know he is very busy man. It is a shame that some of the wonderful tunes he had posted had to be taken off. But that is show business.

I have been so thrilled to have found Kirk and the gang. I don't even mess with other sites now that I have him as my mentor.

I have always played riffs and scales in an improve mode which are very cool at times but get a little boring and start to sound the same after a while. I am a member of the PT forum and loving this approach to improv and music theory. I recommend to anyone that when you have gotten past the beginner stage to try Kirks PT. It has changed my outlook on the way to solo and approach melody.

I love the fingerstyle lessons. Never played with my fingers before. Always used a pick. Never hardly ever picked up my accoustic, but now it seems to always be in my hands. Still love my American Tele Nashville deluxe B- Bender. She is my baby, of course next to my wife and two litte dogs, but it is one fine guitar. My accoustic is a not so expensive Ibanez. Body is ash and mahagony neck. I had it set up by a pro and it plays like a dream and has a nice warm sound.

One day when I figure out how I will post picture of my guitars on the appropriate forum. I enjoy looking at others equipment to.

Just want to compliment all the forum members and admin. Some of the nicest people to associate with.

Keep on strummin

Danny--

Glad to have you around. I'm looking forward to seeing your gear.

One of the best sites on the 'net I've found for PD info is, you guessed it, Public Domain Music. It's got a great list of songs and some wonderful info on the subject.

All the best today,

Steve

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
