Reviews and Testimonials
"Alternate Tunings Guitar Essentials is, in book form, a heaping helping of what's good about the magazine [Acoustic Guitar]. It's the equivalent of many hours of private tutoring."
—Dirty Linen
"[Alternate Tunings Guitar Essentials is] a fun, comprehensive, well-prepared guide to alternate tunings' fertile ground."
—Guitar Player
"[Alternate Tunings Guitar Collection is] a crash course in interesting uses of alternate tunings. It has the added advantage of being a good and diverse CD, ranging from the Irish songs of Trian and Paul Brady to David Crosby and David Wilcox and, best of all, the aggressive guitar pounding of Ani DiFranco."
