About
Kirby Jane is a professional solo guitarist, author, and music transcriber from Charleston, South Carolina. Her guitar style borrows heavily from influences in the piano world such as Elton John, Billy Joel, and Michael McDonald; as well as from fingerstyle guitarists Tommy Emmanuel, Michael Hedges, and Jerry Reed.
Kirby has done a large portion of the official guitar transcriptions for Tommy Emmanuel (linked here), as well as official sheet music for artists like Andy McKee, Jerry Douglas, Richard Smith, and others, in addition to her own arrangements, and has been a longtime lesson contributor to Premier Guitar Magazine.
In April 2014 Kirby and her talking Yorkshire Terrier, Grabel, were featured on The Late Show with David Letterman for an episode of "Stupid Pet Tricks."
Kirby is proudly endorsed by Marchione Guitars, G7th Capos, Guitar Pro, and Izotope.

Transcribing with Guitar Pro - Physical Copy
This is a companion package for my new book, ‘Transcribing with Guitar Pro.’
This package includes a guitar pro file similar to what I use to start my professional, comissioned transcriptions, as well as for my own work. It also comes with instructions about how to save and load this document as a template for your own future transcriptions, as well as checklist of what to include at the start of a tab, and what to check for as you are finishing it.
I’ve also included a blank Progress Grid file, and blank Album Progress Map, for those who want to use my Progress Grid system from the book, to systematize their transcription processes according to the official book layout.
My new book, Transcribing with Guitar Pro, is finally out, and comes with an early access discount!

• Material: Enamel

Attention! Don't heat liquids or food directly in the mug—it can damage the coating.
Disclaimer: The Enamel Mug is susceptible to staining when used with certain beverages, including coffee, tea, and natural juices. That’s a normal characteristic of enamel products and not specific to our mug alone. Due to the enamel’s rough and porous surface texture, particles from these drinks may easily adhere to the mug, resulting in stains over time. Stains can be effectively removed by applying lemon juice or soda to the affected area and gently scrubbing with a hard sponge.
