"Emmanuel Labor" - Tommy Emmanuel's new instructional DVD. Tommy must be turning American, spelling this "Labor" instead of "Labour"

I bought it at an Adelaide concert by Tommy a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, after a nice opening act, the MC came on stage and told us that Tommy was having a medical episode and was unable to perform. Fortunately, it must not have been serious as he did give a make-up concert four days later but I was unable to attend - bummer! Still, I got the CD to remember the almost-concert and perhaps someday I will be fortunate enough to be able to finally see Tommy.

Cheers,
Carl

I am also going through Pete Huttlinger's Better Practicing and Essential Fingerstyle Exercises. I'm trying to put some form and discipline to my practices and these seem like really good resources for that.

Some nice titles mentioned, and it's interesting to see what people think of the dvds they bought. Sokolow has some great stuff, love his blues playing I've heard (his open D six-string version of McTell's "Statesboro Blues" is just great). Might try something by him.

And Hunttlinger's name keeps coming up - I think I'll take a closer look at his stuff and keep it in mind next time I feel the urge to get some more. Sounds like you can learn a lot from his lessons.

Paulo Bellinati Plays Jobim. I got the transcription book as well, but I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew. It looks quite difficult, but he has some fantastic arrangements of some bossa nova classics like a Felicidade, Luiza and Garoto. And since there's no tab, I'll be forced to improve my sight reading. Hopefully I'll get back to playing my NS62 a little more. I'm also working on a few nice Pete Huttlinger tunes - the View, Things are Looking Up and Tommy in the Morning.
