Magnetic Rag

Pickin' my ol' home made guitar.

There's a story that goes with this song. I've been learning tunes and licks from John Knowles ever since the book "Chet Atkins Note for Note" came out in about '75 or '76. I couldn't believe the transcriptions in the book and how accurate they were. I learned them all. A few years later I found out about the FingerStyle Quarterly and have been subscribing to it ever since. So unknown to John Knowles, he has been teaching me to play guitar for the last 20 some odd years.

This little tune is my humble tribute to his effort to spread finger style guitar around the world.
