They're like 80MB each. Not much Scofield, but there's plenty of Hancock etc. Phatphred Username: Phatphred Registered: 03-2006 Posted on Tuesday, April 04, 2006 - 5:00 am:    Hey Funkle I could do with those too. My old real books are getting dog-eared and pages have been coming off the front and back one by one. Do you know a good way of sending them? A google search did not reveal a download site. I wonder why Phatphred Zhen Username: Zhen Registered: 01-2005 Posted on Tuesday, April 04, 2006 - 7:39 am:    Funkle, thanks, but I already have some of those real books ... by saying 'Hancock' I ment contemporary Hancock, not those standarts from sixties, u know but thanks anyway Funkle Username: Funkle Registered: 12-2001 Posted on Tuesday, April 04, 2006 - 3:19 pm:    Sco has some sheet music from the A Go Go album: http://www.johnscofield.com/music.html phred, I'll see if I can make the books available for download. I originally found them on the web. They may be gone now.

I really like Mick Goodrick's "the advancing guitarist" guitar method (same origin) In a different jazz approach, Ralph Towner's "Improvisation and technique for classical and.acoustic guitar" (ibid)
