Mr Warner. I have your “20 exercises book” but would like to know how to get TAB on your SPIDER video excercise? There are many available but your video is the best any where. I purchased your book a long, long time ago and am 86 with out a pot full of money but I would really like to have your version. Bless you. Joe Francis
Wow, thanks Gerald! By the way, I’m going to do a big post about you on the site but haven’t had internet at my new place. I was thinking of an overview of your compositions and playing and maybe a short interview!
That’s a good compilation of classical guitar free lessons. I just discovered Bradford thanks to you. Thanks!
You’re welcome, Robert. Good luck with your site also!
