Dive deep into the music of Norman Blake and the evolution of flatpicking with Cameron Knowler this week!
Knowler, a musician, author and educator, tells us all about his incredible self-published book: Guitars have feelings too. We learn about Cameron’s unique upbringing in Arizona (including the fact that he was “out of school” for most of his teenage years) and how a chance encounter with Norman Blake’s music as a teenager changed his life forever. We also hear his thoughts on the difference between old time and bluegrass music, the dangers of flatpicking contests, how to trade instruments with your heroes, and more.
Knower is that fjs newest contributor and in our 52ndnd In this issue he does an in-depth interview with Phoebe Bridgers guitarist Harrison Whitford. We are pleased to announce that Knowler will be teaching the music of Norman Blake alongside Bob Minner at Fretboard Summit 2023.
