Lumenwood - I doubt there would be much demand for this one, so no.

Liquid Tension Experiment - I asked JP about an LTE book in 2019, and he said "there isn't one?" I did already transcribe all of LTE3 when it was released, albeit unofficially. Would love to transcribe the first two if I could get the isolated guitar tracks.

Blotted Science - Ron does his own transcriptions. There's some Blotted Science and other stuff here: http://www.ronjarzombek.com/tabs.html

BTBAM - I'd be down to work with them! My personal preference would be to do a book for Alaska first, but TGM has some cool stuff on it.
I saw that page, but I didn't see "ingesting blattaria" which is the chief track of theirs I would want to learn
As for demand of Lumenwood, if people would just listen to it :C
BTBAM, I would take Silent Circus/Alaska/TGM/Parallax 1
Seriously, why was there never a TGM? Why no love for Parallax 1? Was basically TGM 2

Colors II is available now! I co-transcribed and got to edit with Paul. It's pretty surreal to think back to 2007 and how the original Colors was one of those rare life-changing albums for me. I hope you guys have fun learning these crazy tunes.

Devin Townsend Project - Deconstruction is available now! This one was quite an undertaking, definitely some of the craziest stuff I've ever transcribed. It was a dream come true to work with Devin, hopefully we'll do a lot more books together.
I distinctly remember reading somewhere, years ago, that Devin had done some preliminary transcription work on a bunch of his stuff, like I think he'd gotten some sort of technology that allowed him to just play guitar and have it spit a transcription into the computer. Guess nothing ever came of that? Or maybe he has "rough" files somewhere?? I would love to see books of a lot of his earlier stuff, especially Ocean Machine through Synchestra (and the corresponding SYL albums).

Spawn Of Possession - Noctambulant & Incurso

Spiral Architect - A Sceptic's Universe

Jason Becker - Perpetual Burn
All albums that I'd be interested in transcribing, but given that they're inactive artists, getting the necessary tracks/resources and getting the members involved/interested is highly unlikely. It looks like a Spawn of Possession book was in the works all the way back in 2012, but nothing ever came of it.

From the Colors II editing session with Paul Waggoner. Had a great time going over all the details and finalizing the tabs. It's always fun to learn more of the nuances and idiosyncrasies of the artists I'm working with.

I haven't looked at these transcriptions, hopefully they're good haha.

Like I mentioned with Blotted Science, any Jarzombek transcriptions will likely come from the man himself.

I remember enjoying Suneater back when it came out, haven't heard it in years though. Never got into the other two bands, but you never know.

I figured as much. I almost included a similar statement in my original post. He's a mad scientist of guitar & I figured he would handle his own tabs. lol!

The Erotic Cakes tabs are mostly just the backings and the themes. He leaves out the solos and instead gives a lot of guidance on how he would tackle that section if he were improvising live. The backing tracks are fun to play along with and Guthrie is clearly trying to challenge the player to be creative rather than perform his solos note-for-note.

The Aristocrats tabs from JTC are note-for-note and cover the entire track lists of the releases with the exception of You Know What? which is missing 2 or 3 tracks.
