"TOTM" Lessons
Lessons from the "Tune of the Month" Series
In July 2006 Steve Kilby began to offer a subscription service called "Tune of the Month" which ran through the end of 2010. Subscribers would sign up for a six-month subscription get a CD plus tab of a different tune each month.
You can now purchase individual TOTM lessons here. These lessons include a tab booklet, chord chart, and the audio CD. Steve teaches each song by phrase with each phrase played several times. There are rhythm practice tracks and lead practice tracks plus a simulated jam session track where we trade leads.
The CD tracks go through the tab phrase by phrase, with each phrase played several times. There are rhythm practice tracks and lead practice tracks plus a simulated jam session track where we trade leads. It is designed for the high level beginner or intermediate player with the second time around being one of my slants on a variation of the melody.
