    I’ve wanted to pick this book up for awhile now, but it seems to be sold out everywhere I look! Does anyone here have a copy that I could buy?

    Wow. $230 for a (seller’s) copy at Barnes and Noble.com and around $400 for the same at Crapazon. Geez, I’m glad I got mine when I did…probably about 2/3 years ago from B&N. The transcriptions are impeccable and mind-blowing; between this one and the (also out-of-print) Frank Zappa Guitar Book (transcribed by BH’s fellow Berklee-ite Steve Vai) I’ll be busy until I die…

    The Bruce book also features a hilarious intro by the man himself wherein he blames all transcription errors on JT. LOL

    I feel for ya — I tried to order the “Hot House” book from BH.com and was apparently beaten to the punch by someone on this very board. Arg.:mad:

    All hope is not lost, however — MusicNotes.com has 3 pages of BH, and not just the Tupac covers of “Way.” I downloaded “Stander,” “Swing Street,” “Hot House Ball,” Spider F,” etc. Discounts on multiple purchases! No, I’m not affiliated w/them….

    Dang, I think I gave one away to a coffee/piano bar in Myrtle Beach (“The Library”) that closed, and a different one to my brother in NY. Never even went for piano night!

    Do you play, then? I never realised!

    Maybe it’s worth keeping an eye on eBay for it?

    I have messed around with an electric keyboard before, but not anymore…hard to play when you have bad arthritis in the hands. I used to play clarinet long long ago. Husband and my daughter play guitar and the book has guitar chords, so they practice some. Hoping my daughter takes off with her guitar lessons and can get into playing more. She is 8yrs old..and learning!!! ;)
