I have a copy of Giltrap on tape. I still enjoy listening to it, alas it is deteriorating and I fear it will never be available on CD.

I did miss it but am downloading it from the iPlayer (950Mb?? gulp). Can't stream iPlayer stuff at the B&B where I stay in the week - Broadband is like wet string out here...

I have just been looking at the photos and reading the blurb about Gordon's new Requinto guitar by Roger Williams. It is certainly a very beautiful instrument and I am intrigued by the concept of threaded bushes in the neck to take miniature capos to stop the 1st string. It looks like there are four...

He he he...I loved the first one and he is keeping the quality up. Lets see how many views it gets. The original currently stands at 5.2 million!

Having been a fan of Windham Hill music and many of the artists associated with it (George Winston, Michael Hedges, Scott Cossu, Alex de Grassi & Mark Isham to name but 5 of a hugely distinguished list) a few weeks ago I treated myself to a book of Will Ackerman's pieces. I was fairly astonished...

The Dodo's Dream is a favourite of mine (I've stuck my own video on YouTube) and is played in standard tuning EADGBE. What might help you is that Gordon has posted a good close-up video of the piece which can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awcH8FO3uqA It gives a clear view of the finger...

Thanks for putting up the videos, Steve. I have watched quite a few of them and will catch up with the rest later in the week. Looks like it was a good party!

My copy of "Vintage Giltrap" arrived this morning. The quality is much the same as for "Troubador": a 56 page stapled book with a cardboard cover and a good weight of paper for the business part of it. The engraving is by Steve Marsh and is of a high standard. There are no blurre...

I had an email today from www.guitarcds.net and the new book "Vintage Giltrap" is being released. I have ordered my copy! Looking forward to it arriving, and to the future titles. Thanks Gordon.

I heard ther news on the car radio whilst driving home this afternoon. A sad passing, but boy: what a legacy! He will never be forgotten.

Ditto!

Allow me to add my very belated but most sincere good wishes! Thanks for all your work in keeping the site up and running and here's raising a glass to the next year!

I have just come across Jason by way of an email newsletter. He is a British harp guitarist and his site can be found at http://www.jasoncarter.net/. He has a videos page (and also a page of audio-only offerings) and they are well worth viewing/listening to. Some of his pieces are reminiscent of the...

I've never heard of anyone playing with gloves! (other than buskers with fingerless mitts in the cold). It is a whacky idea - must try it out

I'll echo Mike's comments, Slim. A nice find and thanks for taking the trouble to scan and upload the pages. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
