REQ: PlaneTalk The Truly Totally Different Guitar Instruction Book by Kirk Lorange
Hello Everyone,
I have been looking all over the internet and have found nothing on this. This has been out probably since 1994 and it sells for $74.95. It used to be sold through a physical copy along with some DVD's, but apparently now he is only selling it as digital versions of the book as well along with a digital version of a slide rule he would send out. It's really pricy for just a PDF book honestly. If anyone has this I would appreciate this very much! I'm mainly looking for PDF or pictures of the book, but also interested in a picture of the slide rule so I can make one at home. The DVD's/videos would also be nice to have if possible.
Thank you for everyones help!

"What exactly is PlaneTalk?
For 25 years, ever since I first self-published PlaneTalk in 1995, the 'PlaneTalk Package' consisted of a book, a DVD and the 'Guitar Slide Rule'. The lesson was delivered as a comic strip conversation that takes place on a long flight—hence the title—between a pro and an amateur. The reader gets to listen in as the pro (me) tells the amateur about a very simple and succinct way of thinking about music and navigating the fretboard. He reveals the 'trick', as I call it, that I discovered many years ago, a fretboard landmark that ties everything together: chords, harmony, melody. It's a visualization technique that I have been using ever since I first stumbled upon it many years ago and it has never let me down. I started teaching it to players who asked me "what scales are you using?" to which I would always reply "I don't know anything about scales, that's not what I'm thinking about". My students were so blown away when they learned about my 'trick' that I decided to make turn it into a book and Slide Rule, a folded sleeve-with-inset affair that graphically crystallizes the lesson the book teaches. The DVD, which demonstrates the mindset, came later in 2000. I added a private discussion forum to the package not long after and then started adding extra 'bonus lessons'."
