[Retro Hound]

He wrote the book that Eric Clapton and most of the British guitarists learned from, "Play in a Day."

My Dad had one of his records when I was a small boy. It was probably my first introduction to instrumental guitar music. Then when I started picking up the guitar I worked out the basic chord shapes from one of his books that my sister had. Very sad to hear of his passing.
