John Schneider is the Grammy® award winning guitarist, composer, author and
broadcaster whose weekly television and radio programs have brought the sound of
the guitar into millions of homes. He holds a Ph.D. in Physics & Music from the
University of Wales, music degrees from the University of California and the
Royal College of Music (London), and is past President of the Guitar Foundation
of America. A specialist in contemporary music, Schneider’s The
Contemporary Guitar (University of California Press) has become the standard
text in the field. For the past three decades, the artist has performed almost
exclusively on the Well-Tempered Guitar, which uses different patterns of
fretting according to the key or tuning system required. Recitals include
Renaissance and Baroque repertoire in their original temperaments, as well as
contemporary music in alternative tunings by such composers as Lou Harrison, Ben
Johnston & others. This new release explores these compositions for this
instrument, with works by Lou Harrison, Terry Riley, Carter Scholz, and others.
