However, you have to be a Premium member to download it. Any takers?

Totally amazing. Thank you!

In order to avoid the mentioned problem with Adobe (XI in my case), I didn't try to open it, rather I saved the file in my desktop and then I opened it with Adobe, and it worked!

**Jazz_175** · 01-07-2013, 08:29 AM

Well, I tried again to open it directly from the link and it worked. It didn't work yesterday.
I don't know what happened.

**Jabberwocky** · 01-07-2013, 10:14 AM

Great! It works now. Thank you, Jazz 175.

Check out some of the voicings in the Debussy. Seven fret chord shapes. Yikes! Thanks for the share, amazing.

Johnny Smith's book has been around for a long time.

Not this stuff, transcribed off the records. There was a Guitar Interpretations book published by Charles Colin years ago but it wasn't from his records.

The Scribd files indicate that these pieces were transcribed by Dan Towey who has done some books for Hal Leonard. If anyone knows Dan, they might check with him to see if there are plans to publish.

From a recording "man with the blue guitar", what a shame, its not available as a cd, looks like its not available unless you want to pay a fortune for an old LP....

The Man with the Blue Guitar was available on CD as part of The Complete Johnny Smith Roost Small Group Recordings box set from Mosaic Records. Unfortunately it was a limited edition set and has sold out. Hopefully it will be reissued in the near future.

The Mosaic box set comes up regularly on ebay. Worth every penny, like many other Mosaic box sets.

Wow, thanks, James!
I paid $4.00 to get the transcriptions of AN and IOF from a certain company, and it wasn't even in standard notation.
They used fret board charts to block out each chord; very difficult to read.
