The Tao of Tunings
A Map to the World of Alternate Tunings   By Mark Shark

From Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges to John Lee Hooker and Jimmy Page, alternate tunings have inspired some of the most creative and unique guitar sounds in the history of the instrument.

This book and CD pack will provide you with loads of fretboard diagrams, fun playing examples, and practical music applications to help you navigate through a variety of tunings - from Double Drop D to DADGAD and beyond.

Includes standard notation and tablature, plus 52 audio tracks for demonstration and play-along.

“The Tao of Tunings is beautiful ... Mark Shark has created a book of tremendous value for anyone interested in thinking, feeling or playing in alternate tunings.”
– Jackson Browne

Harrison, Dylan, Fogerty, Davis,Taj, etc. Live at the Palomino Club
Live at the Palomino Club, North Hollywood on 19 Feb 1987.

In the Spring of 1987, The Graffiti Band performed with Taj Mahal at the Palomino Club in Hollywood. At this show, George Harrison, Bob Dylan and John Fogerty rose from the audience to join Davis and Taj Mahal in an unrehearsed set which included Fogerty's "Proud Mary" (played live for the 1st time since CCR per Bob Dylan's request), Dylan's "Watching the River Flow" , and other classic rock n roll including "Blue Suede Shoes", "Peggy Sue", "Honey Don't", "Matchbox", and "Gone, Gone, Gone". Bootleg cds/VHS/DVDs exist, but no official recordings were made as this was not a formal concert, and not publicized.

LINEUP: George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Mark Shark, Bobby Tsukamoto, Gary Ray, John Fogerty Jesse Ed Davis, &  Taj Mahal
