Chet Atkins - Me and My Guitars - Book. Text by Chet Atkins and Michael Cochran.
Introduction
by Jerry Reed. "Me and My Guitars" is the most comprehensive and enlightening
book on Chet Atkins ever
published. Chet tells it in his own words: his childhood, playing influences, early
struggles to find work, in-
sights
into the guitars he used and endorsed along the way. Many of the full-color photographs of
Chet and
his guitars
have never been published until now. Photographer Wolf Hoffman expertly captured some of
the
famous guitars
played by Chet, including his first Sears & Roebuck Silverton, custom-made
D'Angelicos, the
Gretsches, and the
prototype models of the current Gibson Country Gentleman guitars. Over 60 guitars from
Chet's private collection are shown in Chet's home and his office on Music Row. Chet speaks about each of
these
instruments -
including the Gibson L-10 which his brother Jim gave him - telling the story of his career
through his guitars.
More than just a pictorial review of Chet Atkins's guitars throughout the years, as you
turn through these pages
you are treated to a fascinating look inside the mind of this great guitar player. This
book belongs on the shelf
or coffee table of guitar lovers and Chet Atkins fans everywhere.

Brad Davis - Flatpicking The Blues - Book, DVD and CD.
In this course, master flat-
picker Brad Davis teaches you how to flatpick the
blues. If you are interested in traditional blues, Brad
shows you how to
approach playing the blues using both theoretical and practical methods. You
will learn
how to play blues style rhythm on several variations of the
twelve-bar blues progression. You will then
learn the blues scale at several
positions on the neck and learn how to apply those "blues notes" in a free-
form
improvisational style over the twelve-bar blues progression. This section not
only increases your
knowledge of the guitar fingerboard as it relates to the
blues, but also provides you with a method for
increasing your improvisational
skills. After laying this groundwork, Brad then examines common blues
phrasing,
technique and standard blues licks and demonstrates how to apply them. He also
shows you
examples of licks played in the style of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robert
Johnson and Eric Clapton. Brad even
demonstrates how Bill Monroe's blues licks
on the mandolin can be incorporated on the guitar. In addition
to teaching you
how to play straight blues, Brad also demonstrates and teaches how you might
take tunes
that you may already know from the standard flatpicking repertoire
and spice them up with blues licks. If
you are tired of playing flatpicked
fiddle tunes and bluegrass songs the same old way, you will greatly
appreciate
Brad's instruction on how you can add excitement and interest to songs that you
already play
by adding a blues flavor. Notation, tab and chord

Danny Gatton - Unfinished Business - The Life &
Times of Danny Gatton - Book
written by Ralph Heibutzki. Danny Gatton was a guitar virtuoso known for his
wide stylistic range. With a
musical vocabulary that included country, gospel, rockabilly, soul and
standards, he dubbed his own style
"Redneck Jazz". Hailed as the world's best "unknown" guitar player by both
"Rolling Stone" and "Guitar
Player" magazines, Gatton was a player's player who never received popular
acclaim but who continues to
influence guitarists everywhere! His personal demons and his struggle to reach a
wider audience while staying
true to his own music proved to be too much for him and in 1994 he took his own
life. Drawing from first-hand
interviews with dozens of friends, family members and fellow musicians,
"Unfinished Business" places Gatton's
musical contributions in context and documents his influence on those peers who
admired him most..Price - $17.95
