**UPDATE 2023**
Even though I haven't made any new blogs, lately, my books are still for sale. Please e-mail me at mjoiner327@yahoo.com if you have any trouble.
Due to the positive responses I received from my "Velvet Guitar" tab book, I followed that up with another tab book of Hank Garland's that combines songs from his other two jazz albums: "Jazz Winds From A New Direction" And "The Unforgettable Guitar Of Hank Garland." The book features almost every song from the two albums - it has all but one song from "Jazz Winds From A New Direction" and all but two songs from "The Unforgettable Guitar Of Hank Garland." Anyone interested in purchasing, can do so by clicking the "Buy Now" button. I will then e-mail the book the next time I get on my computer. Just a reminder: this is a PDF file only - there is no physical copy!
Here is a complete track listing:
1. All The Things You Are
2. Call D. Law
3. It's Love of Course
4. Move
5. Not For Me
6. Pop Goes The Weasel
7. Rainy Afternoon
8. Relaxin'
9. Riot-Chous
10. Tell Me (What Am I To Do)
11. Three-Four, The Blues
12. Unless You're In Love
13. Why Not?
14. You're Here Again
Here are some testimonials from people who purchased the book:
"I first became familiar with Hank Garland long ago through old vinyl records. I knew his playing to be smooth, fast, and swinging. I did not really realize how very deep his work was until I treated myself to a phenomenal piece of work by Mike Joiner, a transcription book of Garland's "Velvet Guitar". I bought it, played through it.....and went, "wait a minute; this stuff SMOKES!!" It's a book you will go over bar by bar, line by line, because there is so much to pick up; first, the transcriptions are dead-on accurate, in an easy-to-read font and layout, and thorough. Mike put out a second book of Garland transcriptions, that I bought sight-unseen based on his work in the first book. Highly recommended."
- James Seaberry Chicago, Illinois
"Just a short note to tell you how much I've enjoyed your new book on Hank Garland. Super accurate transcriptions of the one of the greatest jazz and country players in the history of the guitar! Thank you and please let me know what else you to have to look forward to in the future. Thanks!"
~ James Hahn, DDS Auburn, Maine
"Just a few words to let you know how much I appreciate you making the transcriptions of Hank Garland's music available. I purchased both the 'Guitar Antholgy' and 'Velvet Guitar' and I feel that they are made from heaven.
For years I had looked for for these transcriptions-not having good ears, I found it hard to copy Hank-but you have solved my problem. Anyone who is interested in Hank Garlands music should own copies of these two books. Once again, Many Thanks."
~ Frank Robinson Londonderry, United Kingdom
“Mike, the Hank Garland books are fantastic - very impressive work! Superb transcriptions, beautifully presented, of playing from several great jazz albums by the one and only Hank Garland! Hank's uptempo and ballad styles are very accurately captured. Highly recommended to anyone interested in studying the playing of this legendary guitarist."
