Chris, as you may know, generously takes the time to transcribe all of his tunes - and makes them available for $4 each. Check the ad in Fingerstyle Guitar.

I saw Chris a few weeks back, at which time he told me that transcriptions from TRAVELOUGE won't be available until the Fall. I was looking for "Moutaineering Creek". But he did give me a tip: standard tuning with a partial capo on the second fret. Chris literally hacked a Schubb so that it depressed only the 5, 4 and 3 strings to create an Esus chord.

I have the book and cassette for RUNOFF, Chris' first album, from which I play "An Introspection" and am working on "Runoff".
