John Knowles

[AlohaJoe]

I just had the pleasure of spending a weekend at the Puget Sound Guitar Workshop's winter retreat in Port Orchard Washington with about 140 other players, including John and Becky Knowles. John has been coming out to PSGW from Nashville for over 20 years to teach. He is a true gentleman and as nice a man as you'd ever hope to meet. His style is tasteful, subtle, and absolutely stunning.

Wow, nice you-tube post.

Thanks Joe.

He's having a concert and workshop in the Toronto area in early April.

If you can get to that I'd certainly recommend it... he's one of the best teachers I've ever run across.

Very, very well played! Go Frosty!

Thanks, AlohaJoe! I've also got a clip of "Walking My Baby Back Home" out there - another one of John's wonderful arrangements. I've never met the man, but since he travels the country I hope to catch up with him in New England someday.

Frosty- are you learning the arrangements from clips? Wow! He has a (by subscription) quarterly newsletter with fingerstyle arrangements in notation and tab available... I thought you got the arrangements there. If you're interested in the newsletter you can find it here:

I read dots... I don't have a subscription, but I have a couple of issues of the FQ.
