Last Friday John Stropes introduced George Winston to a small group of his guitar students and friends. John has been educating Wisconsin in the various forms of finger style guitar techniques for several decades; both through\u00a0courses at UWM<\/a> and his many other venues<\/a>. In that generous spirit John ensured the lessons were well documented for the educational use of future generations.<\/p>\n

George Winston<\/a>, most widely known as a pianist, has obviously studied slack key guitar with near equal vigor and depth. He’s filmed and recorded the key players in Hawaii; and generously shares his research and expertise at Dancing Cat Records<\/a> where you can download his books on the subject<\/a>. Anyone who knows where to find every note and chord on a stringed instrument, in any of \u00a0a couple dozen different tunings, leaves a hell of an impression on me. When you add the many different ways to pluck a string or four; and achieve harmonic effects up and down the neck. Well suffice it to say\u00a0Mr. Winston’s scholarship and musicianship\u00a0left me awestruck; and wanting to hear him play guitar in concert (or in recording).<\/p>\n
