Mark Hanson
Accent on Music, 1995
A great book for the guitarist that wants something new.
I have been playing guitar for many years and wanted to branch out into a different style. The songs in this book are great. The tablature is well written and is easily understood. There is enough material in the book to keep me busy for a long time to come. The level of playing is for intermediate to advanced player. The CD is an extra bonus that is great listening. Warning: I liked the book so ...

The Art of Solo Fingerpicking : How to Play Alternating-Bass Fingerstyle Guitar Solos (book and CD) (Guitar ... 10 reviews
Mark Hanson
Accent on Music, 1988
Best Lesson Book I have ever purchased
Many of the other reviews have said it first, but Mark Hanson has created an excellent series of finger picking lesson books.
The Art of Solo Fingerpicking is an intermediate fingerpicking book. If you can only strum a few chords or are new to fingertyle, start off with Mark's The Art of Contemporary Travis Style Picking first and then come back to this one.
The exercises (in both books) ...

ALTERNATE TUNINGS PICTURE CHORDS4 reviews
Mark Hanson
Accent on Music, 1998
Great Book Assembled for You Understand
As the previous reviewer stated this book does exactly what it states, gives you tons of pictures of various chords. If you are comfortable with standard tuning, and want to experiment with something different than this is a good book to try. It shows you chords with pictures and charts organized by tunings. There are enough tunings in this book to keep anyone occupied for a long time. Plus the ...

The Art of Contemporary Travis Picking: How to Play the Alternating Bass Fingerpicking Style (Bk & CD)36 reviews
Mark D. Hanson
Accent on Music, 1986
Comprehensive and Easy to Follow
This book has easy-to-follow instructions and enjoyable songs to play. I am only 1/3 of the way through this book, and thoroughly enjoying it. It has some familiar and not-so-familiar folk standards, leading the player through basic patterns first, then adding variations, melodies, ornaments and finally culminating in a full fingerstyle selection that will challenge almost any player at any ...

Masters of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar (comes with a CD to help learn music)6 reviews
Mark Hanson
Accent on Music, 2001
What a Bargin
If you play classical style guitar and maybe your music reading skills are not so good, this is a great book. The CD gets you going with the rhythm and the TAB notation makes it easy to find the fingering. That said, it is not a begining book; the music is transcribed pretty close to what you hear from the greats.

Leo Kottke Transcribed2 reviews
Mark Hanson
Accent on Music, 1993
Great Book
I love this book, this was the first book I purchased, authored by Mark Hanson. The most of the material is challenging. A "Trout Towards Noon" is on the easy side, so start with that on. I found the accompaning cassette to be very useful. Mark plays the tune at half speed, which allows you play along at some speed. His verbal notes on the recording are very useful to.

The Complete Book Of Alternate Tunings (The Complete Guitar Player Series)3 reviews
Mark Hanson
Accent on Music, 1995
Best reference on Alternate Tunings
This book is a literal encyclopedia for alternate tunings. It contains several of the most odd types Ive seen. Page after page of different types of tunings. It also has a list of what bands have been known to use which tunings. Since new tunings are always being created by artists, the book will probably never be complete as the author states. But this one is as close as it gets!

Paul Simon: Transcribed (Paul Simon/Simon & Garfunkel)6 reviews
Mark Hanson
Accent on Music, 1993
The Real Deal
If you want authentic transcriptions, this is the book for you. I have every Paul Simon guitar book of note, and this is the only one with real recorded-version tabs; lamentably, it lacks some of Simon's wonderful flourishes, but it is by far the best Paul Simon guitar book available. Each song includes a page of Mark Hanson's performance instructions/notes that are genuinely helpful and ...

Instant Guitar Chords: The Black Book (Guitar Books) 2 reviews
Music Sales
Accent on Music, 1999
Useful for beginners, but does not stand alone
I initially bought this book because I was looking for a good quick reference for chords. I've tried various things before I decided to buy a book, including writing out all the chord variations that I find, drawing out finger shapes from chord diagrams, etc. Eventually, I decided that I need a pre-defined system in an encyclopedic format - otherwise I would keep grabbing specific information ...
