John Francis is an American guitarist and composer. He is best known for his use of extended-range classical guitars and his eclectic compositional style. As a composer and arranger for over thirty-five years, John has written and arranged music in styles ranging from Baroque to Blues, from Celtic to Rock, from Jazz to eclectic World Music. His primary emphasis has been the guitar in all its varieties including multi-stringed instruments. As an advocate of multistring guitars, I have recorded videos with a variety of six, seven, eight, ten and eleven string instruments includng the alto-guitar (Altgitarr) made by Georg Bolin of Sweden. He currently endorse the Antonio Aparicio line of classical guitars. An album of my original music entitled "The Last Leaf" will be released on my Heartside Music label soon.
