Also try our Gift Guides with suggestions of gifts for the musicians you love sorted by instrument! With the new availability of The Parking Lot Picker's Songbook Bass Edition we have added a new Bass Section and Bass Button below.

If you're interested in listening to CDs and watching DVDs and videos, click here.
Our latest releases are Christmas Crosspicking Solos for Guitar and The Parking Lot Picker's Songbook Bass Edition. Don't forget Jim Nunally’s The Art of Rhythm Guitar Vol. 2 : Walks and Runs DVD. A great companion to Vol. 1, the new DVD delves further into rhythm guitar. Not new releases but great books: Elvo D'Amante's Ear Training Series and All About Chords.
We have videoed some sessions of me discussing and playing examples from a few of our books and posted them on YouTube. Look for the TV icon (shown below) on individual pages. We hope to eventually profile every book, CD, and DVD in this way to give you more information on our projects. So far we've posted videos from BackUP TRAX: Basic Blues for Guitar, The Parking Lot Picker’s Songbooks, Swing Jazz Violin with Hot Club Rhythm, Elvo D’Amante’s Ear Training series and his All About Chords, Gypsy Swing & Hot Club Rhythm, one from Christmas Favorites for Solo Guitar, one from Mandolin Uff Da! Let's Dance, and one from Mel Bay's Rhythm Guitar Chord System.
We also have a Close Outs and Odds & Ends page. Here you'll find one-of-a-kind books, CDs and videos plus, occasionally, shopworn products at reduced prices, and used electronic and audio products. We add new items whenever we get them in.
A note on shipping: The best shipping deal within USA is Priority Mail. It'll get to you within about three days and most of our items (excluding "The Parking Lot Pickers Songbooks" which weigh over two pounds each) can be shipped in a Flat Rate mailer for $4.95. In fact, in most cases we can fit TWO items in a Flat Rate mailer for one low $4.95 rate. If you're ordering a ton of things, we can usually fit them all into one large Flat Rate box that'll go anywhere in the USA for $10.35.
Media Mail is also a great value, it's just slower to arrive than Priority. With Media Mail we can send the 3 lb. "The Parking Lot Pickers Songbooks" for $3.11. Unfortunately, we can only send media, that is, books, CDs, DVDs, etc. via Media Mail. We can't send general merchandise in the same box as Media Mail or they may waterboard us. (Hey, in some countries they'd torture you for that!) So, we have to send Media Mail and merchandise in separate packages. For more information on shipping within the USA, click here.
Shipping outside the USA: For info on shipping items outside the USA, click here.

Dear Dix,
I'm just a mandolin beginner but you have opened up the world of music for me and I would like to say thank you so much! The way you teach in your books and (your) explanations are so simple, intuitive and brilliant! ... your skill and clarity and building up understanding about music from the rhythm up to the melody is insightful and gives a fantastic base for everything else. So thank you so much for your continued work and genuine love of music that is so inspiring... you're a truly wonderful teacher.
Best wishes,
DN
