| Does Paul Franklin have a site where I can buy his material. I am looking mainly for the licks he performed on Mark Chesnutts' album, Almost Goodbye and the song is Woman, Sensuous Woman. |

To my knowledge, the 'song oriented' materials Paul has published on cassette are out of print. The 'Speed Picking' series, both E9 and C6, are available on CD through Paul's site that Jim referred to. These are great, but won't help you with those particular songs. I have all of them and believe me, if you think you're at the top of your game, buy one of the E9 CDs, learn the patterns, and try to get them up to tempo. It's a reality check, for sure.
GOOD LUCK!!!

Thanks Larry, you are right, Paul does not have the licks for Woman, Sensous Woman available. Next question has anybody else figured it out.
Thanks

Actually, when you call Franklin Guitar to order, you can ask Mrs. Franklin which of the course tapes are still available. There are not many, but there are/were a few.
Recently, I bought the course for "Nervous Breakdown" (Wow!) and "Don't Rock the Jukebox" the other day while ordering some extra strings. BTW, their price for a dozen .011 strings is $6.00 and the Blitz cloth ($4.00) is a great thing for quickly cleaning yours strings and giving them a slick finish--kinda like finger ease for guitars. |

| You can also inquire of Tom Bradshaw. He has many different learning materials available. He may even have some of PF's that are out of print. You should be able to find him easily here on the Forum. If not, write me and I'll tell you how to get in touch with him. -- Marc |

Marc,
Have you purchased any courses from him lately?
Frank got the last of those old courses. There are no more available.

Hey, Paul
Do you ever plan to reissue any of the other older stuff? I think there would be a good market for it - you had so many to choose from - some really good stuff.
BTW, Thanks for the Christmas album.

I just heard from Tom, and he no longer has any of Paul's teaching materials available.
I did purchase some from him, but it was at least three or four years ago already. I apologize for passing on wrong information.--Marc |

After Racking what's left of my brain trying to cop Hot Wired, and never really doing anything on Nervous Breakdown but a bunch of hillbilly finger runs, I pulled this out of the Archives.
I'm wondering what the contents of the E9 Speed Picking CDs are and which songs ( if they are that) are on which.
Thanks for any reply.
Eric West. |

Ordered the two E9 CDs today. I've about run my three licks to death...
I remember a string about a DVD course he was thinking of putting out, but couldn't find it in the archives.
I know there are lots of other tapes out there, but nobody I could find that I "wanted to sound like".. Some of them, I've tried for twenty five years not to.
I still sound like Nate Wilson on the Banj0..

Here's the DVD thread: http://steelguitarforum.com/Forum15/HTML/003630.html
Those PF instructional CDs are a humble-ing experience. I learned the stuff and can play it at about 2/3 the speed Paul does. His playing sounds so clean and effortless that you don't even realize how fast it is!
Luckily he provides slow practice tracks.
I'm looking forward to the DVDs.
