Online Poster Stores Listed by Topics
Note: there have been many recent changes to these web
pages - the menu bars (top and bottom of the pages) should make
locating relevant pages easier. I suggest/recommend
and provide links to a number of editions of guitar music
(classical, fingerstyle, and other editions using standard notation as
well as TAB) for guitarists at all levels - please note that I do
not have all of these editions nor would I use all of them since I am
primarily a classical guitarist. The Christmas/holiday music page
does contain a number of comments about difficulty levels and some
favorite anthologies. The composer
specific pages provide a little background and in some cases, links
to web sites with more information.
Potential subscribers to mailing lists are encouraged to read the two links above
before attempting to subscribe to any of the lists.
