Post Free Hands method books listing
I would like to list the method books available (or not anymore), dealing with Emmett's Free Hands technique. Here are what I know/have. What do I forget?

- Free Hands - Emmett Chapman
- Stick Book vol1 - Greg Howard
- Stickology - Steve Adelson
- My Time My Space vol1 - Daniel Schell
- Rapid Fire Bass - Frank Paul
- Dazzlin' tapguitar techniques - Ron Baggerman

As far as scores transcriptions are concerned, here is my take :
- The Greg Howard Song book - Greg Howard
- Touchstyle Songbook - Frank Jolliffe
- Trey Gunn Scores - Gabriel Riccio
- King Crimson Scores - Gabriel Riccio
- My Time My Space vol2 - Daniel Schell

Bonus question : I've read that Jimmie Webster who was a tapping guitar player wrote an essay, published in 1952, about tapping called "The Touch System for Electric and Amplified Spanish Guitar", but never saw it in person. Has anyone see it somewhere?

Rodrigo Serrao has free hands transcriptions for the pieces on most of ( all of ?) his last two albums which are very nice

In the transcriptions "not available anymore" category:

- "The TouchStyle Songbook" - Frank Jolliffe

You can get many (maybe all) of Frank's albums free on Bandcamp: https://frankjolliffe.bandcamp.com/

Thierry Carpentier also wrote 2 volumes of a Stick method in French during the 90´s (I have the first one in AFSTG’s archives)

Thank you Yannick for this reference. This guy plays very well and his stick is really unique as we can see on some videos...I just made a small research on Google and found some videos...really good. Also I found a french site where he talks about the stick...really interesting for french reading people (It's also in english). It's here: http://thierry.carpentier.pagesperso-or ... stick.html
