Jeff Newman's DVDs. What would you do?

Post by Jon Mettrick »

Jeff Newman's instructional DVDs are not to be had. I have no instructor available to me within driving distance. I was a student of Blackie Taylor. I am 70 and recovering from heart surgery. What materials comparable to Jeff Newman's are for sale?

Thank you

Either Paul Franklin Foundations or Aaron Marshall’s instruction at Facebook.com/steelpicking.
Mickey Adams also has some great videos on YouTube.
I’ll be quiet now and let someone else take over.
It also depends on what level you’re at.
I don't know much but what I know I know very well.
Carter S-10 3X5, Peavey Nashville 112, plus Regal dobro and too many other instruments to mention.
Bluegrass Island CFCY FM 95.1 Charlottetown, PE, Canada, on the web at cfcy.fm.

Thanks for the responses! I am familiar with some of the materials. I did not know that D.J. had published courses.

Thank you again

Billy Coopers had Jeff Newman material available when I was there a couple weeks ago.

Just to let you know JeffFran College is back online. They seemed to have disappeared for awhile, but are now back online. I get their email advertisements. Note that I have not purchased anything as of late from them. If interested, the course catalog can be viewed at:
