Anybody here looked at this material?
I got it last weekend and have been really liking it!
Just what a new player like myself needed to get away from simple tab and into a little more theory.
Basically, he teaches the song "Born To Lose" BUT uses it to focus the learning material on learning all kinds of various chord shapes.
He also has a lot of short little progressions to play along with on the cd that move between various chords in a logical, musical manner.
I'm just struggling through the material, but have already learned a lot of chords and how to find them on the e9 neck.
(Like I said, I'm still a beginner...)
Anyway, just thought I'd share, as I've never seen Billy Cooper's books mentioned here.
I also picked up his "A-11" course, which is very similar but focuses on scales, and of course teaches the song "A-11".
I haven't started that one yet, as the Born to Lose one will keep me occupied for a lonnnng time.

John, I agree that Billy's instruction materials are great. I have several of the courses and posted on the SGF when they came out.

| Not only are Billy's courses great, he and Wanda are two of the nicest people anyone would want to do business with, or call friends. |

| I know of at least one PP Emmons that Buddy Emmons had Billy select for him from his stock and do the pedal set-up etc. because now I'm the proud owner and man it is sweet. |
