Progressive Guitar
Method Book 1 for Beginners with CD by Gary Turner
This beginning guitar book has been useful in my approach to
learning.
Both notes and chords in guitar instruction. It comes with a CD and
begins the CD with a tuning reference.
Students love playing with a reference track when they are practicing at
home. I’ve also used Book 2. |

Philly Live DVD of Phil Keaggy in Concert
Phil’s amazing looping (Jam-man) style is featured in this fabulous live
concert of 2001. Phil’s Beatle-esque influences are obvious, his riffs
are amazing and as a songwriter and singer he is a joy to watch and listen to. |

Peter Mayer
These are my favorites (so far) of Peter Mayer, who is also a friend.
His singing and playing style incorporate the tenderness and creativity
of McCartney, as well as the nuances of Paul Simon, yet it is distinctly
his own style of writing. Peter is a master guitarist and his lyrics
speak to my soul. |

Chip Katz Trio
Chip is a friend who often subs for me in the band. I’ve studied jazz
guitar with him and consider him a walking reference of jazz styles. He
is also, by the way, a good singer (his next CD perhaps). But you will
enjoy his smooth, rounded tone on these delightful arrangements of jazz
standards. He may have recorded some of these on the guitar I now play…
A Paul Reed Smith Guitar, McCarty model. |

David Wilcox
These are my favorites, so far, by David Wilcox, master song-writer and
guitarist. He uses so many tunings and double capos. I’ve learned by
just listening (and watching) his technique. Mostly, I’ve enjoyed his
lyrical style and his story-telling songs of joy, love, life, learning,
growth, and relationships. There are so many favorites.
