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? :lol: 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!

Andy Volk's new book

Post by John Ely »

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?

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

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. 8)

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

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:
  • There is an error in the URL entered into your web browser. Please check the URL and try again.
    The page you are looking for has been moved or deleted.


edit...I was able to find your books by going to home page. Just ordered one. Thx!

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:
