  I am currently working hard putting together the guitar book I have written over the past 30(or more) years. The main focus of this book is,a method that you don't have to read music to use.I have developed this method with students over the years,it works.Mostly aimed at teens and adults.I may include some pages here as a "mini-lesson".

  I get many calls looking for a recording studio so I adding a way io reach James Albright.If you are looking to do some recording,need a "killer bass player",or just want to hear some good tunes;check out Jame's site.He also has some of my unreleased tunes, I recorded with him;on his site.          jamesalbright.com
