Frank Vignola's Guitar Night, an ongoing concert and livestream series

lol The inclusion of Bright Size Life always tripped me out. IIRC the chart in the book isn't how Metheny recorded it though. I guess that doesn't preclude his involvement but is curious. There...

Getting Transcriptions Wrong

Learning guitar as second instrument

The knock-offs don't say "KA" or "Kent Armstrong" at all, and the chinese made ones on the lower tier Eastman's say "Kent Armstrong Designed" . That looks to me like an original. Cheers, Arnie..
