Chord shapes?
I know ive been blabbering on a lot about Tommy Emmanuel lately, but when someone inspires me, I just keep talking about them for days on end
anyway, I dunno if anyones seen TE play, but he tends to hold a lot of chord shapes and pick out the melody line with the shape held down. is this something that plane talk teaches?
because id love to be able to play guitar like him one day, and ive kinda seen how important it is to be able to hold a chord shape and play a melody at the same time, because then your walking basslines would give a nice foundation for the melody given theyre in the same chord
from what ive read of planetalk, that seems to be the basic premise of the book? or am i wrong?
...or does my question make no sense at all?

Good question- I've been watching a lot of TE lately as well and have been hard at work on Classical Gas. I'd love to tackle Angelina and I've Always Thought of You as well. One of the things that is striking about his playing is that it doesn't look all that hard when you're watching, but when you pull some tabs and try playing it yourself it's not easy at all! I guess that's where the 10 hours per day of practicing helps, eh?
I'm back in the process of saving up to get PT since I blew that bit of cash getting a mini-Strat for my son. Looking forward to the answer on your question.

You're right when you say that chords encapsulate any moment of a piece of music, nem. Bass lines, melody lines and chord tones are all the same thing, so knowing chords is about as important as it gets.
PlaneTalk makes it very easy to see chords for what they really are: entities that stretch the length of the fretboard at all times. That makes it easy to also see them disassembled into bass lines, or melody or harmony ... with lots and lots of practice, of course. There are no short cuts to getting your fingers and hands to work properly.

plain talk ig good
plain talk is good ,however i mastered the fret board from two books. Mel Bays ''deluxe encyclopedia of guitar chords'', and a book/cd combo by Mark John Sternal called ''total scales techniques and applications'' . these two gems are what brought me to an advanced level of playing guitar. Go on Ebay, or Amazon and you'll find great material to purchase in relation to guitar playing. see ya, Johnny

just for the added leverage
i believe i'm going to purchase Plane talk just for the additional knowledge. But like i said in my previous post, it was Mel Bay, and Mark John Sternal that got me lighting up my fret board. I have strong faith in what Kirk Lorange is recommending as far as purchasing his ''Plane Talk'' product. you should too. Johnny

So, Johnny, have you bought PlaneTalk or not? First post you write that it's good, second post you write that you are going to purchase it. I don't get it.
