Re: C Lanzbom plays Carlebach renditions

[Richard Green <rmarkgreen...>]

I found Lanzbom's second album, "From This Day On" to have some really good 
country style treatments.  I don't see his renditions as being understated.  
His guitar playing is delicate where necessary and powerful where needed 
too.  Years ago, I lived at Moshav Modiin.  I had just started playing the 
guitar to play Shlomo's niggunim.  Someone told me I could do a lot more 
that just strum chords but I didn't have access to a teacher of books like 
there are available now.  I spend about 400 dollars on transcriptions of the 
first 2 Lanzbom Plays Carlebach recordings (BTW and FTDO).  My guitar 
playing improved alot.
