    Not sure if this is from the same magazine, but I noticed one at the newsstand had a CD-rom or a DVD that included a video lesson with Bireli...I was too cheap to spring for whatever it was ($6 or 7 bucks) since the rest of it was Freebird type stuff. Did anyone check it out?

    Best,
    Jack.

    "what's a dominant chord?" - best quote ever

    But what about:
    "I hope that Frank Gambale doesn't check this out."

    Ah, Bireli!

    I am using safari on a mac, is there a way to downlode it on to my computer, then I can zoom in on it, at the moment viewing it on the web page some of the tab is too small. Thanks

    It's a PDF file so you should view it in Adobe Acrobat reader. That will allow you to zoom.

    It is up for download already....that's the only way to view it!

    If you're using a Mac with OS X hold down the OPTION key when you hit DOWNLOAD. This will download the file to your desktop instead of opening it in Safari.

    Boy, what a great lesson- I like that cat (perlmutter!) I went to school with him, and he's really great guy; aside from being a great guitarist . . . . and fantastic transciber . . . . Cool!
    Michael, thanks for the reprint!
    Ps. check out one of the old ones in acoustic guitar- where they do Djangology, and put out a version of Birellis solo!.
    Cheers,
    Ben
    Ps. adam, I am so filled with envy!

    yeah this is great, What do you make of when he is asked about his picking technique and says:

    "I don't really have a system...When I play faster I do whatever feels natural, often with both upstrokes and downstrokes."

    just curious.

    what makes you think a guy who doesn't know what a dominant chord is would be able to give precise instruction on picking...haha :lol:

    Gypsies develop their technique at such a young age...it's just second nature for them. It's similar to someone who can speak and write eloquent English, but never learned spelling or grammar in a formal setting.
