ABOUT A.C.T. |
|
Hello,
I'm Steve Garner and I've
been
transcribing fretted instrument music for over 40 years.
I learned to play by using this approach from very early
on and have continued to hone and polished this skill.
Transcribing has been important in every facet of
my professional music career whether it be performing,
teaching, or authoring published
articles.
In the earlier years of
my playing, I would have been
overjoyed to have a service of
this type available to me. I try
to treat each A. C. T. customer
as I would have wanted to be
treated when I was in their shoes.
|
|
|
I am
confident that I can offer you top quality,
accurate transcriptions. If for any reason I feel that I
cannot
fill your order, I will inform you of this and
decline the
order.

24 YEARS & COUNTING
In 1994, after many requests from
my students and readers of my articles, I realized there was a
need to offer this type of service to the many players that need
occasional help learning the music of the players they admire. I
believe this model based approach to learning to play is critical
to anyone wanting to make quality music on any instrument.
Otherwise you're reinventing the wheel, so to speak. And if you
do, chances are it won't be round. |

COMMITMENT
TO EXCELLENCE |
I have always been committed to
two things: the accuracy of the tablature that I produce and the
complete satisfaction of my customers. |
