| A little while back I purchased your Solo Acoustic Guitar instructional DVD just because it indicated a flatpick arrangement of Catch and Release. I must have listened to it a dozen times back to back. I am currently learning this and another flatpick song of yours Mill Creek. I was wondering what other instructional books/DVD you have with more flatpicking arrangements on them. Thank you. |

| No questions this time just thank you very much. Should you ever produce a tutorial DVD that concentrates on particularly melodic non vocal pieces (in so far as it's not a necessity) such as 'These Dreams' by Jim Croce, please let me know & I'll try not to kill anyone in my rush to buy it! Salaams & best wishes, Graham |

| Hi Pete, Just checking to see if you have anything new on the horizon? Maybe an instructional DVD on the music of America, Cat Stevens, Paul Simon, or Eddie Vedder(soundtrack to "into the wild")? What do you think? |

Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery. Like your Fogelberg and Croce DVD's Immensely have you done any Christopher Cross arrangements? Rgds Brian |

I have not done any arrangements of Christopher Cross songs. But thanks for the idea. |
| Hi Pete, Best wishes for your recovery, you are an inspiration. I am a 49 year old beginner learning Ponies from the John Denver DVD, nothing like jumping in the deep end!! I am having trouble trying to work out which strings are picked on G and G7. I have watched the DVD scores of times but can't see which fingers pluck which strings. Apart from that I am having so much fun and just love 'walking down the C', what a beautiful sound. It has been slow progress but great fun. I hope 2013 is a good one for you. Kind regards, Michele |

| Hello Peter. I recently bought your Jim Croce DVD which I love because of the strong and beautiful melodies in those pieces. I would rather not sing so folk/pop pieces with strong melodies in the guitar playing are what I like to learn (Photographs and Memories). Do you have any recommendations from your collections (or others) that may suit me? PS I'm more of a sheet music reader than tab too and been playing Classical for 4 years. Thank you from Dubai. Graham |

Mzeegm@gmail.com Dubai , UAE - Tuesday, February 19, 2013 |
Graham; John Denver's Late Winter, Early Spring - Boy From The Country - Darcy Farrow are all strong guitar parts that are fun to play by themselves. Dan Folgelberg's Longer - Make Love Stay - Run For The Roses and Leader Of The Band are also good ones to check out. |
| Pete- I'm a self-taught finger picker and I can't read tabs or music. I've been playing for almost 30 years. The two best things that have ever happened to me musically occurred last year. 1. I met Gordon Liightfoot (and he autographed my Martin!) and, 2. I discovered Pete Huttlinger's DVD lessons. Because of your lessons I can play many of the songs that I never would have figured out by ear alone. I can't begin to describe the joy I get from playing these days. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! |

Jay; That's music to my ears! |
| Recently, within the last few years, I decided to pick up Fingerstyle technique on the guitar. After picking up and learning "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas, my instructor decided to challenge me a bit more by introducing my to your wondeful piece "Get a Klugh". Needless to say, It has been a bittersweet experience for me. On the one hand, I love the piece, but the challenge has been excruciating because of my small hands and short fingers. My perserverence has paid out and I'm beginning to see some results. My fingers are stretching in ways that I could not have imagined, and I'm beginning to sound somewhat decent. Needless to say, I have a new appreciation for your compositions, so I want to know how I can get ahold of more of your great pieces. I didn't see a place where I can order online. |

Oh no... I didn't realize I was hard to find on the internet. You can order them all from http://petehuttlinger.com or from http://www.Amazon.com or if you just want to download the music and not purchase the books, you can order from iTunes, CDBABY or virtually any other outlet on the web that sells music. You can also purchase download music from http://petehuttlinger.com or http://www.Amazon.com. Cheers, |

| Hi Pete, I understand there are copyright laws prohibiting your being allowed to publish your version of 'I'll Be Home For Christmas'...without publishing the arrangement, is it possible to get at least the names of the chords you used while in G? ...just think its by far the nicest arrangement I've ever heard!! |

| Hi Pete, I have all your "Play the Songs of" DVD's and have learned so much and cherish each one. Unfortunately most of them had the printed tabs and the tab books are now falling apart.

| Hi Pete, I am a fan from Indonesia. I firstly bought your Hymns for Guitar and have since bought through CDBaby other titles including Hymns for Guitar 2, The Santa Rita Connection, Things are Looking Up and First Light. I am just curious whether your full tab book for any of the above is available as digital download. I know I can simply purchase the book hard copy but it's quite troublesome to ship it to Indonesia all the way from US. Hence would prefer if I can just buy the digital/PDF version. Thanks and stay healthy.... |

Unfortunately, none of my books are available as digital downloads. I'm just not ready to start that fight with everyone who will give my work to all of their friends for free or sell it themselves. So sorry about that. |
| Hi Pete, Thank you so much for doing Songs of Dan Fogelberg, Volume 2. It arrived yesterday , it is awesome. I love the intro to Sutter's Mill , that may take me a while, but I'll keep at it. Old Tennessee is one of my favorites, and #1 to learn. I have both Fogelberg, Volume 1&2, it so interesting to hear your thoughts on how Dan arranged these songs, it's great insight as well as great instructions. Many thanks from just outside of Raleigh, NC, I am very happy your health has improved, all the best, May God Bless. Any thoughts on a Stephen Stills DVD ? Tim |

Well Anna, I was never looking for it so no, I never found it. I do know it however. |
| Pete, Recently, I was watching a concert performance of you in Switzerland on youtube playing "Boy From the Country" with a group of musicans. What caught my eye was you playing the song in the key of D rather than Denver's version in the key of G. Because it is much easier to sing in the key of D, is it possible you could place it in your free tab section. If not tab at least the chords. Thanks so much for your willingness to assist us wannabe guitar players! |

olejer@att.net Johnson City , TN USA - Monday, July 30, 2012 |
Only JD and young girls could sing that song in G! It was so difficult for me and I normally try to be true to the song but I really connect with this song and in this case it just didn't make any sense to try it in his key. I'll get the chords up soon... |
| In the song, Tommy In The Morning, I need help transitioning quickly to A/C#. A chord with C# in the bass which is played after A minor on 17th measure. I lay down the 2nd and 3rd finger at same time on 8th fret, 2nd string and 9th fret, 6th string and play these first then lay the first finger down. Hard for me to use the fourth finger on 9th fret 3rd string. How do you do it? I wanted to bar with first finger across but you get string noise when moving into this from the A minor. Do you put all four fingers down at same time when playing A/C#? |
| John Ives
-
Jives37@cox.net Phoenix , Az USA - Monday, July 23, 2012 |
John; It also happens in the very first measure of the tune... and a few other spots as well. I would suggest doing some exercises with the chords. I play it by putting all my fingers down at the same time. Spend some time going form A minor to A/C# over and over and over again. Then from the A/C# to the Dm over and over and over again. When you think you've got it... keep on doing it until you KNOW without a doubt that you have it down. Then do it some more. Cheers... |
| Hi Pete, looking at your DVDs, you do not anchor your right hand with your pinky. This is of interest to me as I have been following this method as a beginner, my difficulty is stability and losing my position when playing. My problem is my pinky, I have a little one, an inch shorter than the ring and I don't see it as an option to use it for stability as it leaves no room to play. I have seen some play with the pima 'a' finger as an anchor and pick with 'i'm'. I see you as one of the greats in fingerstyle and would appreciate some direction on this. Many thanks. |
| Paul
-
mr.pclarke@btopenworld.com Quainton , Buck UK - Saturday, July 14, 2012 |
I was taught not to anchor any of my fingers on the top of the guitar because if I need them to play a string with, they would not be readily available. Start slowly on some exercises from my Essential Exercises DVD and don't give up or give in. It may take a little more time in the beginning but you'll be a much better guitar player in the long run. Cheers. |
| Hey Pete, I'm considering the purchase of one of the Collings signature models. Do you personally sign all the labels for the guitars or is the signature a replica/copy of your signature? |
| Greg

greg0smith@aol.com Oxford , AL USA - Monday, July 09, 2012 |
First of all, thanks so much for considering buying this fantastic guitar! I signed each and everyone myself. It was kinda funny when I was signing the labels because I was still in recovery from the stroke and from heart failure and I couldn't write worth a darn. Everything I wrote was soooo small that I couldn't even tell what I had written. Then my friend Cynthia would come over to sing for me while I was relearning to play the guitar. We came up with a set list and she started to write it down but then she stopped and said, "No way, YOU have to write it out." Then she bought me a large notebook to practice writing and then I was able to sign the labels. |
| i hope your doing better and ready for some fishing, i got your guide to better practicing,i dont know most of the chords in rhythm changes do you have any diagrams of them it sure would help me, thank you. |

| Hello Pete, You have a great track of "Tommy in the Morning" on the FingerStyle Acoustic CD which was featured in that Magazine which I have (it has since closed publication). The TAB in the mag. shows the basic song - Do you have TAB of the 3-4 great guitar instrumental riffs that show up on the CD on alternate verses?? Is this avail. for purchase?? Many Thanks. |

So it is called a Left Ventricle Assist Device. But like I said YOU ARE STILL A WINNER IN MY BOOK! |
| I've just recieved your latest tab collection and am finding it excellent as is normal for your media. You truly are a great player and inspiration. The question is gear related. I see that you use the Reunion Blues gig bag. I'm wondering if you use the classical or dreadnaught size. I'm forced to order instead of buy from a brick and mortar store so slipping my guitar inside for a fit is out of the question. I don't think the two sizes are that great in difference but I'd rather not have my OOO sliding around. Orion |

orionthomas@gmail.com Shady Shores , TX USA - Saturday, June 02, 2012 |
Orion, So glad you are enjoying the book! Actually the two sizes are for a reason and they are in fact very different. I would definitely recommend the smaller case for your guitar. I have one for my dreadnaught guitar and one for my OM guitar. I could never fit the dread in the OM case. But your 000 will slide around a bunch in the dreadnaught case. |
| I purchased the Homespun dvd that had Monaghans Jig on it. Excellent! In the very beginning, measures 4 and 6 (approx.) you double-up some notes or add a couple of extra notes. I've been racking my brains out on what those notes are and how it's played. I don't see it on the tab. Can you please help me out? I was told by homespun that at one time they had a clip of that intro but I guess it's gone now. Thxs Martin O'Hara |

I recently watched a Youtube of you playing Somewhere Over the Rainbow and really liked it. I would like to learn it but have unable to find on your webe page. Is it not a published item?

| Hi Pete, I enjoy your music a lot! Thanks for all your great work. Just a few questions regarding your guitar. Do you still own the OM2H you demonstrated on Collings guitar's web page?

| Hi Pete, I'm so glad you are better and getting stronger. I saw you a few years back (summer 2003?) at the Les Paul tribute that Muriel Anderson did and have been a fan since. I believe I have most of your Homespun series and am eagerly awaiting more. Anyway, I've looked for years for the chord progression for "It's How You Think" by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. I wrote the reference librarian in St. Louis, MO to see if it was in their archival collection - no luck. I wrote Larry Lee, the Daredevil that wrote it, and he said he couldn't remember what he did exactly, but he thinks he used alternate tuning. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I wrote you a couple of years ago about the possibility of a James Taylor technique DVD. I noticed that Mr. Taylor has a few lessons on his website now. All the best, Bobby |

| Hi Pete, I was looking over your Wonderful World of Chords DVD over at Homespun Music and I have a question. I have already trekked through "Modern Method for Guitar, Volume One and just started Volume Two. It is an arduous process, believe me! But would studying your chord DVD advance my knowledge of chord theory, or is the material covered pretty much in "Modern Method"? I belive that I had read that you were planning on making a second chord DVD. Perhaps I should wait for that one? Thanks! |
| John Bubblo

jbubs55@comcast.net Dallas , Pa USA - Saturday, March 03, 2012 |
The Chord DVD covers all the main chords. Open chords & barre chords. I did not get into any altered chords. It's probably time for a 2nd volume. I do talk about theory a bit but mainly I'm just trying to get your hands moving on the guitar. Then I teach a couple of songs using many of the chords and chord shapes that I taught. Hope this helps. |
| Dear Pete, I have been recovering from a stroke (right side incapacitated) for almost eight months. I was a guitar and 5-string banjo player. I am particularly interested in your progress on the '68 Gibson Mastertone in your arsenal. Is your banjo playing as fluid as your guitar playing? I was excited to hear about your health history and progress in recovery. It was extremely encouraging to me. I am grateful the Lord has brought you so far and I will continue to pray for your recovery in every health concern. Our lives are in His hands. Sincerely, Peter E. Pent |

dpent1973@comcast.net Nashville , TN USA - Friday, March 02, 2012 |
Peter; I'm so sorry to hear about your stroke. I know what you're going through, brother. My banjo playing has suffered greatly from my stroke. I am mainly a guitar player so that has been my main focus in my rehab. But your note has just reminded me that it's time to pick up the old 5-string again. I have the hardest time with speed and playing in time. My fingers just don't flow like they did before the stroke. BUT here I am a year and a half out and I still see improvement almost daily. So don't let them tell you any of the B.S. about 6 months being your end point. Read the book called My Stroke of Insight. It is a great book written by a lady who was a neurologist of some sort and she suffered a major stroke and gets very detailed about not only the stroke itself but the recovery as well. |
| Hey Pete, No question here, just a thank you for answering mine posed last Dec about a short scale guitar. I tried a few and just didn't like the feel of them....funny how much of a difference 2 frets makes!!!! So I've gone ahead and ordered a custom made standard scale guitar, mahogany back and sides and a Addie top. I'm geeked for it to arrive. I do thank you for your thoughts on the subject. And.......so glad you are doing well! Keep on keepin' on. |

I've got a great APP called Radio Tuner that allows me to listen to radio stations from around the world. |
| For all the fans of Pete, I had a great time at World Music in Bellvue, TN for a performance by Pete on the 24th i think the date was in januray of 2012. It was his first solo apperance since he has been ill. It was a great performance and he looked great! I cant wait to go to many more of his shows. If you havent been to a show of Pete Huttlingers its a must. You will be more inspired to pick up and practice your guitar after watching him play and his great stories over the years of his performances. Thanks Pete for bringing your music back to your fans to enjoy. God Bless David |

| Pete, so good to see you back in action! I see you answered my previous question about adding tabs for the remainder of the First Light CD...looking forward to that next Fall! I had another suggestion that I am surprised hasn't been asked? Do you have any plans on doing a tab book or instructional DVD for Finger Picking Wonder? You did an incredible job arranging all of those tunes and I think a book or DVD would do well for you! |

| Pete,
What a blessing to us all that you are back on the road to good health!! We have continued to pray daily for your recovery and it appears our prayers are being answered. Couple of questions for you. We are going to be coming to your area for a wedding in Memphis on March 31st and we were wondering if you would be playing anywhere on the 29th (thur) or the 30th in Nashville Area? We would love to see you!! It's been too long since our last visit at Charley's Guitars in Big D.....in 07 or 08....I can't even remember. Last question.....would you have a tab of "Lately" that you could add to your "Tabs for Sale" section of your website? I'm sure that I am not the only one that is itching to learn this great arrangement.
Thanks for your time and please continue to take care of yourself my friend and inspiration!. Your absolute biggest fans from Texas!!!!!! |

| Hi Pete I purchased The Black Swan, and really like the variety of fingerstyle and flatpicking. I have been working on learning Highland Morning and the Black Swan, and am hoping that you consider releasing a tab book for these tunes. Any chance of this? I'm sure many would appreciate it. Thanks for a wonderful cd! Mark Wells |

Hi Mark; I'm so glad you are enjoying The Black Swan. As luck would have it, a book of transcriptions will be released any day now... |
| So glad to hear your doing better Pete. I think I have every one of your Homespun DVD`s and they`re great. Hope we can look forward to more now that your feeling better. Anyway, here`s my question. I`ve been working on Circle of Steel from your Gordon Lightfoot DVD and I love the way that you`ve arranged the Recorder part after the 3rd and last verses. As you know the recording starts with a longer version of the Recorder part as the intro. Been wondering why you didn`t put this in? I arranged my own 8 measure intro by taking your 4 measures from the end of the song and making up the first 4 measures with the slightly different melody over the same chords, ie. F#m/Bm, etc., and it seems to work, even though they aren`t the same chords as the guitar-part intro, ie. D/C/D/G, etc. I think it works because the F#m and Bm are good substitutes for the D chord, and so on. Am I right? Did I miss something? Cheers! Garry. |

Hello Garry; You are absolutely right and you didn't miss anything at all! The reason I didn't it because I chose to set up the song in the same way that Gordon did on the guitar and save the recorder part until later. I thought it would be a nice change to the arrangement to add the recorder part after the 3rd and last verses since the chords are different though the melody is not. |
