| Winner of the 2002
National Fingerstyle Guitar Contest and open division winner
of the 2004 International Home of the Legends Competition,
John Standefer began playing the guitar in 1963. Learning the
Chet Atkins style by ear as well as studying in a music
conservatory at an early age gave John a great start towards a
career, both as a player and teacher. By age 16, John had
begun a lifetime as a professional guitarist.
John currently travels throughout the U.S. and abroad
performing concerts, teaching master classes and instructing
Christian guitarists through his highly acclaimed
Praise
Guitar Workshops. He also teaches private guitar lessons
to students living in the Portland, Oregon and Vancouver,
Washington areas.
Besides these live appearances, John has produced numerous
CDs, tabs, books
and videos, which can be found on the product page of his
website. John’s most recent recording, Ticket Home, is a trip
down memory lane in which he revisits his early years and the
music that inspired him to spend a lifetime playing guitar.
John also writes for Fingerstyle Guitar and Christian
Musician magazines and appears yearly at such events as the
Chet Atkins Convention in Nashville and the Christian Musician
Summit in Seattle.
