Atkins-Travis Chord Book & New Ison Guitars @ CAAS
Posted: Thu Jun 14, 2012 1:04 pmHey guys, sorry I haven't been on for a while; my students are keeping me hopping.
There are two things I wanted to let you know about:
First, after many frustrating years of teaching the Atkins-Travis styles without a proper chord book, I have taken it upon myself to write one. It will contain many of the chord shapes Chet and Merle used when arranging songs. Also, there will a section devoted to the open string voicings used by Chet and Lenny. I will be sharing a table with luthier Brian Ison in the Kirk Sand room at CAAS. I am self-publishing the book, so I have a demo copy that you look at, and place an advanced order, if you so desire.
Secondly, Brian Ison will be debuting a couple of cool OM style guitars, and an electric-acoustic cutaway model nylon string guitar. Stop by the table and try one out, they're great!
Hope you all have a great day, and I'll see you at CAAS!
