Lickbyneck - the future of jazz guitar tuition
I've just discovered your site (via Youtube)and can't belive how good it is. At first I was impressed purely by the Joe Pass transcriptions but then discovered your own arrangements and they are all first class.
I'm a producer of music tuition video/dvd and buy dozens of books for research purposes and find many of the arrangements of standards unguitaristic(!) and, often, unmusical. Not so yours.
As for the program, I can't wait for a commercial version to be available;I'd use it all the time. Many congrats on a well-thought out program that will replace my use of Guitar Pro. Tell me when!
Keep up the good work - I'll try to spread the word from my end.

Fatt: I have spent the afternoon looking over and downloading many tunes. This is amazing: it is truly what I tried to do with Ted Greene for 25yrs! Also, if you play out, I'd sure like to see you play? This is such a contribution to the solo guitar effort. You've mapped out my lessons for a while to come! Thanks!!!

Hi. Just discovered your site. Love it. Great job. Plus the arrangements are well written.
Please keep the new arrangements coming.

Just found it..Man! This is awesome! I started out a guitar player then later I switched to drums.When returning to guitar, I was trying to find every possible source of material via music store and web sites. But when I just happened to run across your site I found on "YouTube", I thought I was dreaming..seriously. This has to be the guitar sites of all guitar sites. And I promise you, if someone decides to make me famous, I'll recommend "lickbyneck.com" to the world. Great work guys!!! Peace and Much Love.... Gary B.

GREAT WORK!!! I am a professional guitar player and teacher in Argentina, and I want to tell you that your work is amazing and reflects a great love and passion for the guitar! I play solo gigs, and I think we have similar styles. My main influences are Lenny Breau, Tuck Andress, Howard Morgen, Martin Taylor, and of course Joe Pass. I forgot to mention in my influences the greatest teacher of all,Ted Greene! I learned a lot from his books and I think you have that kind of spirit in sharing your knowledge. I wish you the best. Good luck! Daniel Pellegrini, Jazz guitarist, solo and recording artist www.bighead.com.ar Buenos Aires, Argentina

I too am a fellow Guitarist and IT Professional. I've used the computer in my guitar studies and music studies also. I must say this is by far the most facinating "tool" I've seen so far on Solo Guitar. I've studied at GIT in Hollywood California and graduated with the highest honors that Musicians Institute gives out. (Vocational Honors). I love the way the program works with "finished works". It is a great way to demonstrate a lick over a progression in a song. The Guitarist can both see and hear how the lick should be played. They will walk away with not only the notes, but where on the neck the lick was played and also most importantly, the Phrasing of the lick. Many times we as Guitarist get the notes but not the "Phrasing" and then we wonder why the lick doesn't sound the same way we hear it, when we play it. I believe "Phrasing" is the missing link for us and I believe that LickByNeck offers the Guitarist the opportunity to work this out. Thanks for creating this site and for allowing me to use your tool to bring what I too have learned to the world.

Your site and program are killer!!! Love the software! I can't say enough about the usefulness of this program. I think your program is an absolute must for anyone studying or attempting solo Jazz guitar pieces. Sure tab is fine, but to see accurate chord shapes move in real time is something never made available to players. You're resetting the bar in Music Education Technology! Thanks ! Your site is at the top of my favs! Rich Daigle Professional Musician/Instructor and Luthier Salt Lake City, Utah WWW.REDROCKHOTCLUB.COM

This is a very nice site, well thought out and the playing is quite good.
You have done some very nice work on your site, and I am definitely impressed. You have done a GREAT job in your arranging and playing. You have a very good command of bass lines and that bassline really makes your arrangements come alive. Instead of just plodding along as most chord melody playing does, yours have that "spark" to them, and they sort of bounce along in interesting ways.

You provide an invaluable source. I don't use your site simply to copy other's arrangements but to get really good ideas and voicings. I would like people to know that your site is not just a cookie-cutter guitar tabs site, but also a great source of ideas. I have used many of your voicings in my arrangements. I have never considered myself a "guitarist", I only use the guitar to accompany myself as a performer but recently thanks to your site (and a wonderful guy called "TroubleClef" on YouTube) I have been taking the instrument more seriously. I hope that in the next few months I'll add some instrumentals to the audio and video pages of my website. As a former Bluegrass banjo player my fingerstyle is not so much Joe Pass as a hybrid of ragtime, clawhammer and jazz chords. I'm trying to incorporate Django gypsy style runs into my fingerstyle playing - but where does one get help with that?????!!!!! (PS Tabs of Gypsy riffs would be a great page for you to include in your site - most Django websites only tease and are really selling lessons on line). Finally, I'm sure your site will grow and prosper. I've already pointed friends in your direction. I tihnka you for your generosity in sharing your expertise. Keep up the good work. Thanks!

You are so great! I spend many times for your lesson which great and really perfect and help me from the third world who doesn't have money to come to study in U.S. Make more and more and more and more. Really thank you and don't give up to share your talent. If you do more you will get more and perfect.

I can not for the life of me believe your so nice and generous to offer this tool for all to use for free , I hope donations will fully compensate you and the staff of LickByNeck , you are truly a asset to the community of musicians and those who wish to become one . I have been working out a plan here in my city to start a guitar school for our cities children , I had not yet figured out the logistics fully and was wondering just how to make a maximum impact on my presentation to the powers that be ( city & local schools ) for this idea to come to fruition . Your free software is going to be a major part of my presentation :) When I was young music instruction was part of the curriculum at my public school if you were interested . Instruments where available to use and see if one had a talent to play a given instrument , trumpets , trombones , drums , clarinets , what ever , and then if you had shown to yourself and family your propensity to learning an instrument your family bought ( or rented to own to own ) your instrument from a local music store merchant . What happened to those days I don't know I thought they were dead and gone . No instruments available in the schools any more , a budget restraint means fewer programs too . I know it's never going to be like it was as kid growing up here in my town , and this thought has bothered me for years and I wanted to do something positive , something in line with the times of today . Then Fatt shows up with his free valuable software for helping to learn guitar and I see the light at the end of the long lonely tunnel . Fatt's opportunity to open doors for kids who are in need to culturally be developed is the light in this case here of finding a way that will be effective and efficient for developing a broad and numerous group of students . This week I go to the fellows who run the " adult " education facility and " pitch " my case for accessing the " computer room " to use for teaching kids in my town music theory for guitar . They adult learning facility has 40 plus p.c.'s there , I am imagining all 40 computers with 40 kids looking into the world of guitar music theory and learning to play guitar faster and efficiently , in short : Fatt's software will make it a smooth and fast track affair to help get kids up and running quickly on the guitar . The library of available music to download for free Fatt has assessed is composed so far mostly by " standards " primarily and that is a really strong point in that will hopefully expose young minds to superior styles and genres of music to help broaden their horizon(s) in music and culturally improve their way of life in their process . . For me it's a " TWOFER , a DOUBLE DIPPER " experience in that I am also a student too all over again as I use and learn from this valuable tool and then get to show others the " WAY " . So far I have turned on two really good young guitar players on to this software since I downloaded it two days ago , they are amazed just as I am . Thanks again for your important contribution to society .

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This site is perfect!

Here is something a little special you might appreciate. I am 43 and disabled because of chemical poisoning from my last job. I rely on SSDI to make it from month to month, which is peanuts to live on. Because of your site I am able to teach a small group of students at a reasonable fee for monthly lessons, and because of that I can actually afford to pay my bills and have money left over to pay rent without taking on a roommate. Thank you. Your talents and kindness gave me a reason to live again.

Hey Fatt, this is ken lomascola. If you are the gentleman who is playing these songs and posting them for us to learn and enjoy? then you my friend are a guitar virtuoso and I tip my hat off to you. I would give anything to play like you. I have been waiting for a site like this for years. I can read music and love the way Stephen King plays as well. He has a very unique fingerstyle picking technique. However, you are awesome and I compare you to him and his level of play. God, what I wouldn't give to play like you guys.

Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't ever, ever close this site. I have waited all my life for a site like yours. I have an illness that prevents me from getting around alot, and your site gives me the ability to learn and practise my guitar without having to find a teacher.

Thank you so very much and God bless you,

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your site really IS awesome! "This is the best site for anyone interested in becoming a better jazz guitarist. Through his amazing software, Fatt is the perfect guitar teacher ...available whenever I need him, at the pace I need him at." I've been loving jazz guitar since high school in the mid '80's ... never could figure out how George Van Epps and Wes Montgomery and Joe Pass and all the other superstars could do it. Had two beautiful kids, got into consulting, wrote a few books, studied Aikido, and the past few years I've returned to my love to jazz guitar. Found your site through You Tube....unbelievable! Thanks for making it free. Now I can learn to play all those wonderful standards I've been listening to for years ... at my own pace! I'll buy your software in a heartbeat if you ever decide to market it. Thanks again!

With all the rapid advancements in music technology and in the education thereof, in my 18 years as a guitarist, I have had to pleasure to study/perform in places far and wide like Brazil, N. America etc, but I have never come across ANYTHING even remotely brilliant as 'Lick By Neck'! Fatt's creation is no doubt an amazing tool for any guitarist, regardless of level or experience, to study, analyze and devour the classic solos (and more), of all the greatest guitarists that continually enrich our ears and souls. However, the greatest testament to Fatt's work is the sheer effort he puts forth to transcribe these tunes, and then produce them into such a consumer friendly program! And he always does any requests I send him. What's his secret?! I dont know, but he has my endorsement 100%!

Robert Arathoon Perth, Western Australia

Boys and girls at the lick my neck team your moniker is very suggestive but your work with the little application is just outstanding. Ever since I got your site loaded I`ve been mesmerised. That is most definitively brilliant way to lay a tune down bare.The results are fantastic and nobody chimps included can dare say they can`t do it. And guys the quality of the playing on the more... and some more.... is just gotta say it ballbreaking.
I`m an amateur guitar player and have more rock roots however the beauty of the pieces on show have really completely killed me. The beatiful tune that Martin Taylor magically weaves is now approachable. Thank you so much for putting this up. I promise to write something and share if it meets your exacting standards.Jazz is definitely not elitist after this especially since the guys who know tunes in India (where I`m from) have their balls in cold ice (unapproachable)I thank you once again from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you and have spread the word around the thing is in India are under the impression that jazz is a couple of guys playing a couple of unrelated tunes at once, so be patient I will convert these morons.

Hi, really like what you are all doing iwth this program and software, i realy enjoy the audio clips you have here, the playing is great with a lovely interpretation and time feel. As i said it was a lovely surprise to find something so useful and musical on the internet. It would definetly help alot of people out, thanks very much! Mat Lomas (BA Hons) Professional guitarsist and teacher I live on the wirral in England which is over the water from Liverpool www.myspace.com/matlomasguitar

Thanks so much for your wonderful site. It had help my guitar playing sooooo much.
i thanks again for your generousity in offering something so innovative and best of all that are available to guitarists like me . i had played in bands ,mainly mainstreams popular music, for so many years that i cant remember . I had grown out of the clubs / pubs scenes with music blasting out of my ears .Maybe its just a sign of getting old ? LOL .However,I want to give myself more time to study music, esp jazz music , in more depth ,But because of work committment , i cant attend a formal music course and finding a good private music teacher for my level is very hard .I am left with the internet and lots of complicated theory books which are not very practical ie it doesnt help me able to put together a tune.I was very frustrated at my progress and the lack of support available.UNTIL I TUMBLE ONTO YOUR SITE.Now i can put to use the knowlegde of the fancy chords that i learnt but did not know how to apply into practice through your arrangements .I can now able to learn to play a complete tune in one evening .which is absolutely amazing .this programe of yours is so intuitive ,its like having a real teacher being there , at any hours of the day and is definitely have more patience .
i had always dreams of one day able to play chordal jazz arrangements on my own . Now my dreams are comming true , thanks to you .May be even a part time career as a solo performer one day ?well i can only hope but ...At least i can now making good use of my old jazzbox ( a 25 yrs old gibson es-175 which i bought as a collector item ) .
For years ,I envied piano players who can always impressed their friends without the need of a whole band or expensive gears& backing tracks .i now envied no more .Thanks to your site . keep up the good work dude .

I just can't believe how wonderful LickByNeck is!  I have been a professional guitarist since age 12 (I am going to be 45 at the end of the month), and I was schooled in Theory, Arranging, and Guitar in high school and at Berklee School of Music in Boston. If I had something like LickByNeck years ago, I would certainly have learned quicker, and would probably be an even more accomplished guitarist today.  This is a wonderful tool. Thanks again, P.J.

I can't thank you enough. I have attempted to play guitar for many years. I gave up for 15 years to raise a son and now I'm looking at what's out there. I am so amazed at what you've accomplished.
I would also like to add that lickbyneck.com is an invaluable resource for learning tunes and styles of music that would
otherwise not be accessible or very expensive to study.
A dontation to lickbyneck permits this resource to be available to the guitar community.
I can't express how grateful I am to you.

"Lick by neck is a brilliant website and is a revolutionary tool for the aspiring guitar player.  It has been ingeniously designed by an individual whose talent, discipline, determination, hard work, and commitment is truly inspirational, as well as his kindness to share his wisdom with the rest of the world." I showed a friend your site yesterday and he absolutely loved it. He impatiently left in a rush as to go home and quickly sink his teeth into it : ) Anyhow, Fatt, you are a remarkable gentleman for the things you create for other people and I know that they all love you and support you greatly! The 'incredible' ammount of hard work you put into making such an incredible and brilliant website, in my opinion: the 'best' website in the world!   Branko Stefan, Musician/Tutor/Property agent, London, UK www.myspace.com/magicguitar1 www.myspace.com/nehilo

This concept is absolutely a brilliant way to study guitar! Sean J. Williams Operations Manager Orlando, FL http://www.gtr4hire.com/

You are providing a valuable tool not only to learn voicings , progressions and harmony but also musical theory with the chord notations. A tremendous innovation to learn the instrument and concepts of previous master musicians and artists. This would be like finding buried treasure.

This program is AMAAAAAZING. Fantastic idea. Thank you very much, one more time… Fernando José Feres Sauma Guitarist Rio de Janeiro,Brazil www.fernandosauma.com.br www.myspace.com/fernandosauma              .

I play electric guitar and had recorded 5 albums (metal music) with my band in Germans labels and a few ep with others and we play also in Europe and USA . I learned classical guitar and classical piano too, but I dont have much experiences on learning Jazz music. To me , it was so difficult to mix chords with melody .
I am preparing for my music examination in July 2007 and this site help me a lot on how to play Jazz. It is difference to other programs like Guitar pro or Powertab where you could hear the real sound of the guitar. This help me on interpretation that I considerer is very important for guitar learning.
I strongly recommend this site that I found by coincidence in youtube , but I think that will be great if this program have score music too. Would be great for musicians and all the people who loved the guitar.
Anyway congratulations. This site is Great !!!

Joseph VanderStel,Part-time jazz musician (I am in a jazz quintet) Grand Rapids, Michigan www.myspace.com/djangotones

Great Site! What an outstanding site, with exceptional music and a clear dedication to the Art. So good to see a site that is not merely "money grabbing" but is clearly putting such artistic effort into CREATING great music AND passing it on. WELL DONE!!! May I once again wish you all the best. Keep up the EXCELLENT work! Akil Hamilton Life Coach (and on-going music student!) Birmingham, England.

Bloody brilliant concept.  Especially for such as me who has played for fifty years but never learned to read music. I love players like Ed Bickert, Barney Kessell etc. Wonderful idea which presents music in a non theoretical way.  This is a totally different and more intuitive approach which really helps ear players like me. Great stuff. Miles Fenton. Industrial Designer, left handed player that leaves the guitar strung right handed West Vancouver BC, Canada.

You cannot believe the educational benefit I have gotten from your magic. You have invented a revolutionary training technique, and it could very well change the face of guitar music (or any other to which you might adapt this) and learning to play. It is wonderful, and would really revolutionize guitar lessons. If an instructor were to teach a lesson and then hand his/her student a disc on which their lesson is summarized using your Lick By Neck technology, imagine the progress that would be made in the ensuing week! Wonderful stuff, Thank you, and thank you again for your Lick By Neck transcription of Ted's stuff. I don't know how in the world you came up with it, but it is wonderful!
Finally, thank you so much for the music that you so graciously included. I sincerely appreciate it. I have been playing, "When You Wish Upon a Star," all evening. Thank you so much!

Loving the site, hope to play like you someday :) It's just an amazing site for learning great music. I've told my students about it and they are already asking me about fingerings and ways of playing some of the tunes.I'm learning them myself as I have been kinda slack about learning the chord melody stuff, but this just makes it so easy it's scary! I'm working up to playing some solo jazz guitar gigs using the tunes on here and just adding my own flavour to them. Thanks for a great piece of inspiration ! I'm grinning as I'm typing this :) I'll be spreading the word! Dion Te Momo, Musician/Music Teacher Nelson, New Zealand www.myspace.com/lotekddt

And using such wonderful software; yours is by far better and easier than any other course I have ever seen. I will recommend your site to every guitar player I know. Hugo W. Cervantes Global Infrastructure Manager at Ford Foundation New York City and Mexico City (half and half of my time)

Great site. I think I love it more than my students.Your site brings back the fun of playing. For young players it's a great introduction to some wonderful music that was written, in some cases, more than eighty years ago, as well as some Classical and Baroque that may be lost over generations It helps to keep the legacy of Jazz alive. Keep up the good work.

Amazing!! Exelent bit of software guys, it's good to see you kept the file size in mind also. Once agian guys i cant stress just how amazing the aplication is. I.m already seeing improvments in the way i play. To be able to visualise the chords whilst reading the tabs is very helpfull. Overall i am very impressed and will be telling all of my friends.

First my compliments for this amazing tool. As I saw it the first time on YouTube I thought it would be one of the countless guitar methods for dummies that promises you to learn guitar in a few of hours. But after I tried it I discovered the wide range of application of this tool. It is as if you would have a teacher in front of you that you can interrupt whenever you want, that replays all what you want and this at the speed you chose. Your application is ingenious in the same measure as simple it is. Very brilliant. Thank you again for your great program and in order that I don't want to promise things a can't keep I only say I hope I will have enough time to contribute to this community by sharing some of my guitar arrangements. David Colmano, Cartographer/Dr. Italy, South Tyrol

I discovered this site through my teacher Floyd and Needless to say your work is amazing !! Absolutely Genius !! Thanks a million for the material you have already put up for us. For me I think this is the best way ever to learn or for anyone for that matter. Works great for students as well as teachers . Its really amazing how people come up with ways to help and share with other passionate musicians . I will definately spread the word and do all I can. All the best and Cheers brother.

This is by far the greatest instructional web site i've seen on the net.
I'm a full time street musician playing in subways and the streets of NY. My practicing time is limited and I don't read music. I learn and memorize songs and licks by visualizing the shapes on the guitar neck. So your program has enabled me to learn so much material and demystify so much technique in one night that would have taken me months to learn. Your program is exactly what I needed. You don't know how happy I am to be able to digest so much guitar. Its like brail to a blind person. I can't imagine what I am going to sound like in the months to come. Thanks again.

I would just like to say that this is THE site I have been dreaming about for many years - THANK YOU!! I had been trying out "When Sunny Gets Blue" and stumbled on your site...just fantastic.

Once again Fatt, I can't tell you how much I enjoy and appreciate your LickByNeck site and how much it has helped me in my guitar playing. Not only in your excellent arrangements but to actually hear the phrasing while looking at the notes on the fretboard. Those choice bass notes and chords are a sure way to develope the thumb and fingers on the right hand. I am a retired Disney artist in Southern California area and have played guitar many years as my hobby and "stress reliver". Since I use mostly right hand fingerpicking, your LickByNeck site is just perfect for me. Along with the great arrangements, you can also play the songs in "classical" style very easily for those who want a more jazzy sound to their playing. Also, those minor 7th chord runs in different positions, are a great help to your improvising runs, just add a few notes in between and you're a "jazz guitarist". I really look forward to your site...keep 'em coming. Thanks again and keep up the great work. THANKS for your continued contribution to your wonderful program.LickByNeck is by far one of the best programs on the internet. I have learned so much. You have my support.

My name is Watson Gomonda and come from a small poor country in the southern Africa called Malawi.

I love this site. since i was introduced i always open this site. Keep it up.
so please if there is something else you would want to help our country produce very good guitar player please contact me on the same email address.

I really want to thank you very much and tell you how much I appreciate your efforts to spread your knowledge! Your tool is extremely helpful! Since I don't have time nor money to spend on guitar lessons, I learnt (like lots of other people) to play by guitar books which explain to you intervall-structures, scales and finally chord-structures and arppegios. Now that I'm through with taht, I realized I can't play any single song despite the fact that now I have the knowledge to play lot of jazz tunes and finally take the last deciding step: Just make music. And there you come along with your incredible tasteful arranged and splendid played interpretations of jazz standards to help me learn them. Really, man, you made my day, and I'll play my fingers off rehearsing!

I downloaded the ted album from the ted site about four weeks ago and am writing to thank you for putting it together.It has helped my understanding of his style and hence my playing tremendously.I have just found your site and intend to go through all the Pass arrangements and xmas tunes.Many thanks for all this,it is certainly the BEST learning tool that I have ever come across as it locks in the visual process much quicker than just the tab.( for me anyway)
The student doesn't have to learn the arrangements note by note but by just watching the neck and looking at the tab they will SEE the same ideas repeating over and over again and THIS is the essence of the style that they like.It becomes obvious and demystifies the whole thing.Its by far the best way to understand a certain style.Excellent.
Many thanks,this has really improved my playing and hence given me much enjoyment.

Hello, I saw some of your guitar videos on YouTube. The concept of using a MIDI guitar to record someone's performance and show it on screen for people to learn is great. Ivan Freyman, Digital Media Specialist http://freymanart.com/ San Diego, California, United States.

I just love this type of learning,. I have been looking for this. Will donate to keep this going,. The way you have this done makes it so easy to learn the songs I've always wanted to play. Thanks so much ! Richard McGuire Bedford, Texas Photographer http://www.collageintl.com

All my life I've dreamed of knowing just what lines, chords, and bass lines my guitar heroes like Joe Pass and Pat Metheny are playing. Now, because of your software, I can know, and even to the point of exact neck positions and
fingerings. It's a revelation. And I do not think it need foster simple copying. It can allow one to see how sounds are made. It is totally amazing. Hooray!

Thanks alot and i'm having alot of fun using your site! I'd like to say your site is great and i'll continue to use it and spread it by word of mouth ! Alex Lau Lai Chung , Student Singapore

You've got an excellent website, perhaps the best learning tool ever created. I've already told my housemates about your great website, i live in a house full of musicians and every single one of us plays guitar, so now we are taking full adventage of the lickby neck visual song available on your website. Thanks, You Rock! Felix Butochnikow, Systems Analyst Toronto, Ontario

Exzellent!A great idea ! This is an exzellent tool to work with and to make progress on the guitar !
First , let me thank you for this wonderful guitar site. You have transcribed wonderful music for the guitar.
I always had the problem what to play when I was invited to a party, to play Dowland or Bach was not the right thing but then I discovered these wonderful jazz standards !
Because your site is the best guitar site I found so far , and because I have really made progress with your software tool , you may use my quote.

Klaus Neumaier
Kirchzarten , Black Forest , Germany.

This site is amazing; the transcriptions are incredibly accurate.
I am beginning to play solo jazz guitar, as well as in a trio, and I have found LickByNeck to be an invaluable tool for learning. I will be looking eagerly in the tune of the day section for some more Joe Pass. Thanks.

Jeff Andrews, British Columbia, Canada.

What a fantastic---and generous—program! This unique approach to learning tunes makes a new level of playing and musicality available to the intermediate to advanced guitarist. It also promotes a deeper understanding of song structure and phrasing than simple tablature alone. And it’s much less daunting than going it alone with chord charts or unannotated sheet music, too. Keep the tunes coming! Thanks. I love the program and the playing is beautiful.

Michael Drexler, Assistant Professor of English, Bucknell University

I really enjoy using your fantastic program to play those jazz chord melody arrangements, keep up the great works and we will support your efforts wholeheartedly. Thanks a million.

Chung Wang, Hacienda Heights, CA.

Yesterday I installed parallels windows virtualization software in order to run lickbyneck. It works very well on my Macbookpro so I have had an opportunity to work with it this morning.
Do you have in on the origins of some of the "more" arrangements. I am playing thru Besame Mucho, which is very nice. Is this yours, or transcribed from a recording?
You have got some great stuff in there, and thank you so much for posting the Ted Greene arrangements, what a treasure.
Very nice program and some really nice arrangements you have done, congratulations.

Bill, Professor / Amateur jazz guitarist
Boston

I thought the site was excellent. What a great way to learn! Thanks so much for this wonderful way to hear Ted and the other greats and actually with enough work make it possible to learn their songs. Look forward to spending time learning. I look forward to the daily tune postings.

Thanks again and as always..............I love your site and daily tune postings. They are a really a treasure for learning chord melody arrangements. For anyone interested in expanding their knowledge base of chords, harmony, moving bass lines and getting together a professional sounding repitoire of arrangements, this is a priceless collection that you have provided, whoever is lucky enough to discover your site and the amazing software you have put together to share with all of us. 

Bruce Gordon , Charlotte , NC

This is AMAZING! I am so grateful to you for putting this together.
Did you literally transcribe this note by note and then program it into the software? Or does the software somehow read the notes? I am just amazed.

It was by chance I stumbled upon your web page and very glad I did. My guitar idols have been the likes of Chet Atkins, Earl Klugh, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Tommy Emmanuel and now you. Your style of playing guitar has been my life long dream since I was a kid. I used to wonder how guitarists like yourself could play a tune on ONE guitar incorporating the independent bass lines, rhythm and the melody at the same time (where it sounds like 2 or more guitars are playing). I am still wondering how all this is done, but your arrangements is an
inspiration to me.
Sometimes I feel, I have come to a stagnant level of playing and unable to progress further but guitarists like yourself provides me with a goal to go further - thanks heaps! Although I play some finger picking guitar and when I see and listen to your arrangements, my standard of playing is just the tip of the iceberg and I have got a lot to learn.
Really enjoy your website. Again, thanks for your arrangements...although I'd like to learn your style of playing very much, at times, it would just be enough to listen to you playing
the songs...it is just faaantastic !

Allan Khaw

What a discovery, and an amazing site this is. Just the perfect way for me to study, using my intuition and without the demotivating process of learning to read music. Also my kind of songs.
I think your site is an eye opener for me. Used to figure it all out by myself, instead of spending time to learn to read notes or taking lessons outside my house. I often was stuck in the search of a chord that would take me from one side of a song to another. But now..wow, my favourite music visually on screen. Imagine me sitting with my guitar on my lap and two pair of glasses on my nose, staring at the miracle that appears.: SATIN DOLL .. I studied for two days at a row on your interpretation, and I must say; I wake up at night with glowing fingertips, but it sounds not bad at all.
I even have the possibility to improvise myself around your tabs. And won't get lost anymore.
Thanks for the amazing work you put in it.

Niek Kalberg, Netherlands.

hi guys...this is an extraordinary program. Congrats ! I am a long time guitar who player who can barely scratch a few chords and I used to create a slide show of the guitar neck with the notes printed on it to guide and teach myself...it would take me hours to splice all the bitmaps and place in sync with the tune. Your program takes away the tedious labouring and frustration out of it and leaves me the precious time to just emulate the chords and practice.
Great method for learning....thanks,

Andrew Star, Songwriter
http://andrew-star.angelfire.com/

I think you site is wonderful, and I love what you are doing. I think your software is so cool. This is definitely a wonderful. This is the best way to learn solos and your notes at the same time. This one of the best if not the best programs that I have ever worked with.
It is truly amzing what you have done and out of this world, what you will be able to do with it. I love it.

I am in a band called "Jazz Del Barrio", We play Latin, Jazz, R&B,Fusion,Soul...

You do fantastic arrangements !
Your arrangements are great ! They've got "lots of meat on them" so they can be played as it, modified or simplified for students. Even though you're giving us your music for free - I'm looking forward to purchasing a CD of your playing whenever it comes out.
I wish you continued success.

I don't play guitar that much--I play it only as a past-time. I like entertaining my friends with it while we're hanging out but I only know quite a few songs. Because of the nature of my work(Call Center agents in the Philippines are mostly nocturnal Lol) and my laziness to figure out how a song I like is picked, I depend a lot on tablatures I find on the internet which I find most of it boring. But when I tried to play a tune from this site to some of my new friends at work,they asked me how long have been playing the guitar, like was it by the time I was born! LOL! They even also asked if whether I go on gigs and play in bars and stuff. They thought I was a professional guitar player.
The site needs a bit of artistic touches but still it's the content that counts. Was really surprised of how good the tabs were and the free software!
I'll spread the word. More power to this site!

I'm not a guitarist, but I do know about music theory, chords, scales since I teach vocal and use the piano to accompany my students but whenever i play the guitar i always come back to the same chord voicings over and over again. by learning using your software, its easy to see how to apply those chords in a real life situation on the guitar. not just being able to play those tunes rightaway but you can also analyze them, what a great tool! thank you!

You guys are awesome!!--what a learning tool!!--
I am 67 years old. If the learning tools you have given us today had been around when I was just starting playing guitar, I would have learned faster, and been a much better player today.. But I am retired now and plan on learning as much as possible about music and the guitar, and you have given me the tools to make my learning much easier and more efficient--Thanks for designing such a great system!! I love what you are offering and want more.

You have a great educational site! Musical notation that corresponded to the tabs would be of great benefit for those learning how to read music.

Pierre Johnson, Bassist / High School French Teacher

You've done a great job!...i'm blessed to discover your site.
Your approach to guitar playing "solo" is very much what I'm looking for. Chord voicing plus
bass note run played at the same time is just perfect. It made me feel I'm on a different level of guitar playing. Thanks again.

Whoever is transcribing all of these tabs, i just want to say you are unbelievable talented and your generosity is immeasurable. thank you for all your other tabs. Every tab transcribed for solo guitar playing is in my opinion, absolutely satisfying. Absolutely perfect for the guitarist that doesn't sing!
By the way, your contribution writing these solo guitar tabs FOR FREE, allowed me to purely enjoy playing guitar again.
Thank you, because that byproduct of those solo tab transcriptions is priceless. I am definitely going to show this site all my guitar buddies.

I have been playing guitar since I was a kid ! (46 now !!) I love all styles,especially chord melody and its so refreshing seeing other guitarists sharing information and techniques on how to play. In my book the more musicians and students of music there are out there, the less trouble therew'll be !
Great stuff and many thanks!

I have an undergraduate degree in psychology. But my passion is playing my guitar. I love to play all sytles of music and that's why I like your site so much: lots of styles and songs to choose from PLUS its presented in an inovative fashion that is conducive for learning. Its so cool to see tabs finally come to life and in real time move along with the actuals notes that are being played. I will totally spread the word, keep up the good work.
Thanks again.

I'd like to add that all your songs don't sound cheesy like some midi teaching files at all. In fact, the chord voicings are quite on the professional level, including the way you playcertain passages. It's a real treasure chest to find this and I am so excited to continue learning again.

I wish Lick By Neck to be big one day and thankyou for all the guitarists, the pros and the people behind Lick By Neck *cheers* thankyou very much :] *cheers*

Just a note to ay how useful this site is. I would never have got to play some of these standards without this aid.
What I like about Netkast is I can stop, pause, hear the rhytm. If I used many of the fake jazz books to learn a jazz standard, It would take so long and I'd lose the momentum.
I have learned Autumn leaves and Let's stay together. I am a bit clunky but at least people think I can really play :-)
I have also picked up loads of ideas from your transcriptions to use in other playing areas.
Keep up the good work.
