HANK GARLAND TRANSCRIPTIONS NOW AVAILABLE

karlstraubguitar.blogspot.com/2009/09/hank-garland-transcription-book-out.html

Mike Joiner's book of Hank Garland transcriptions is now out. the link takes you to a post where I provided more info about it, and an excerpt from the book. I don't have time now to write in detail about this fine product, but I'll just say it looks great. The guitar parts from the Hank Garland lp "Velvet Guitar" are all transcribed. This is a classic album; it leans a bit to the schmaltzy side by comparison with the more famous "Jazz Winds" lp, but the chord melody stuff on here is really exquisite. If you plug in and play excerpts from Mike's transcriptions, it'll transport you back to the fifties jazz guitar sound. Beautiful stuff.

Mike's notation/tab book is in PDF form. Anyone interested can contact Mike Joiner at jazzguitarist27@yahoo.com.
