Hirsch, who's known far and wide around these parts as a chameleon-like guitarist, possesses unholy talent in nearly every style imaginable. He's also won two consecutive Wammie awards in the "Best Guitarist" category, and plays like no other in town. If acoustic blues is your bag...then your ship is about to arrive.

Just recently I finished a method book that works better for those students who are on their own. THE BLUES GUITAR BOOK "Thumpin' Thumb and Fiery Fingers" (or flappin' flatpick).This is a 170 page book with a 69 track CD.Hopefully this book will be available soon!
The manual I use for some of my workshops can now be purchased. This covers a lot of the basics needed for finger picking style blues. It stresses independent thumb/finger(s) using basic 12-bar in E and A.

I just set up a blog."Stan Hirsch Guitar Blog" This is mainly for my students (past, present and future) and anybody else who might be interested. There I rap, rant and rave about music in general, about guitar playing, gigging, jamming, and learn-guitar-lessons. Stuff I have learned from my students over the past 30+ years of teaching. You can also download (PDF) free guitar lessons on my blog site listed below- stanhirsch.com/blog.stanhirsch.com/blog
Am working out a whole bunch of tunes for a album to be released in spring 2008. This CD will include more originals plus a few of my favorite covers. More Acoustic Blues!
