Shout out to Stefan Grossman's Guitar Workshop

[BluesKing777]

Yes, just great stuff! I have lots - old books, then dvd/books, then download/print the TAB at copy place! Plus lots of other books and downloads.

I have been to 'live' teachers a number of times over the years and that has been generally invaluable, but I have taught myself fingerpicking through SGGW material as I could never find a 'live' teacher to suit.

I saw Stefan live a couple of times when he was here and he very generously took the time to speak to my guitar friend and I while we...err...babbled! At on of the gigs, someone yelled out for him to play Railroad Bill and the place erupted in laughter when Stefan asked the poor suffering 'partners' if they wanted to hear it!

Indeed, thanks for the mention. Nick produced the "El McMeen Signature Model OM," quite popular, I understand. I just recorded half of my new recording with my Franklin sig model; the other half with a MacCubbin Braz. OS model.

I'm the same. I have a bunch of downloadable lessons that I bought from Grossman, Homespun and Toby Walker. I use the Purple platform, on my pc and smartphone for most of it.

I spent some money recently on "ebooks" with downloadable content also which is convenient. I just print out what I want to work on, or put into GuitarPro and then print. (I use GuitarPro as a learning/training tool for a lot of tunes and if I want to modify the arrangement as well.)

I have more than enough Celtic, "Mountain Guitar" and Blues to last me a quite a while.

Using videos is an excellent learning tool.
