I am a blind guitar player. Because of this, many instructional tools are not the best for me, because they usually depend heavily on the written/printed part of the instruction. Do you have, or know of any instructional material, that gives good spoken direction, on CD, video, etc?

I would like "I will then fret the A string on the fifth fret, and slide it to the seventh fret, and then pull off back to the fifth", rather than "watch what I'm doing, and you'll get the idea". I have been playing guitar for around 20 years, so I am somewhat comfortable with the basics of the instrument, but just don't always understand what is being demonstrated, when the spoken word is not given.

Thank you for your help!! By the way... I primarily play acoustic finger style guitar, and love the blues, folk, and jazz.

Respectfully Yours,
James Kelm
