I miss the opportunity to buy his songbooks. Does anyone remember when the last GL guitar songbook that was ever released? I think it was Shadows, but I'm not certain. Those songbooks would usually leave no debate as to the lyrics and chords for his songs. However, I guess the best way to capture chords for newly released songs was always to watch the master himself in concert. When songs with unconventional chord progressions like "Ghosts of Cape Horn" and "Restless" came out, I found GL to be the best teacher.
