Andy

There server was working fine as they withdrew my funds within 15 minutes of placing an order. It is probably just the pay side that is broken. Funny how that works?

No problem.

I'll make sure nobody gets missed! Paypal's CEO just sent out an email saying how great it is they're an independent company again. So far, I'm unimpressed!

The first print run is almost sold out. I have about 15 books on hand with more on order.

I recently received my copy of Andy's new book.
I have a couple of years experience playing--I'm not a rank beginner, but I'm no pro by any stretch.
That said, there's ALL KINDS of useful stuff in this book, from technique to exercises to very understandable theory that directly relates to playing.
Lots of practical stuff here--definitely worth getting. What have others found?
John

FYI ...The first print run of Exploring C6th Lap Steel is sold out! Thanks to everyone who ordered a copy. The book is being re-printed and I'm awaiting word from the printer on a delivery date.

Books from the 2nd printing will ship out on August 25th. Thanks to everyone who has pre-ordered a copy for your patience.

I think I snagged one of the last two from the first printing.

Didn't realize until just now that you were in Bahston, Andy. I used to live on the North Shore, until I made my escape to Maine in '93.
Before '62, my family lived in the "495/MetroWest Corridor," but that region name probably hadn't been thought up back then.

Mine arrived in today's mail. I've only been able to make a quick skim through it, but so far, I'm impressed. I think it'll be a big help with my learning process.

Is there a CD or online sound samples to go with the Exploring C6 book, Andy?

Andy Volk · Post by **Andy Volk** » 24 Aug 2015 1:52 am

Not at the moment, John, but I'm hoping to get to creating a site with sound clips as a long term project.

Hey Andy, when I click on the link in your initial post, I get this...

We couldn't find the page you were looking for. This is either because:

Thanks for the heads up, David. I had migrated to a new web provider after this initial post but forgot to update the URL. I fixed it above. And for good measure, all my books are available here:
