The John Kirkpatrick Songbook

48 original songs plus one monologue - words, melodies, chords, notes on the songs, a biography, and a discography. 118 pages in A4 size with a spiral binding.

Double DVD box
PAL format only

Originally published as a series of three tutorial videos, this has now been repackaged into a single box with two DVDs. The programme gives you a complete one-to-one lesson, starting from absolute scratch and ending up out beyond Mars! No musical notation, no complicated tablatures, and no impossible diagrams – this is teaching by ear and by sight, using, for the first time on a tuition video, traditional English tunes and songs.

Keeping the running order of the three videos - with over forty sections in all, split into equal parts over the two discs and directly accessible from the main menus - the DVD format allows for further precisely timed sub-sections and clearly labelled titles as each new tune is introduced.

NB: Available only in PAL format. The disc will play on PAL format DVD players/TVs in the UK and Europe, but not normally on NTSC format systems in the USA, Canada or Japan. It should, however, play on any computer system wherever you live.
