Leo Kottke/6- and 12-String Guitar: A Companion
by John Stropes and Benjamin Kammin
We are pleased to announce the release of Leo Kottke/6- and 12-String Guitar: A Companion—a limited-edition, two-volume set which includes note-perfect transcriptions of all 14 compositions and an account of those events and circumstances that, in December 1969, culminated in the release of this landmark recording. QR codes connect readers to extended essays and a rich digital collection of audio and video recordings. A beautiful resource for players and a treasure for those who hold Leo Kottke’s music close.
