Line 1:

Jon Catler is one of the world's leading innovators on microtonal guitar. For many years, Catler's life has been devoted to the exploration of the "notes-between-the-notes," or microtonal music. Specifically, he has devised his own system of tuning based on ~~Just Intonation~~ or the pure intervals of the ~~Harmonic Series~~. He has redesigned his guitar to allow an unprecedented range of consonance and dissonance, alternating between a 62-note per octave fretted guitar and a fretless. Noted for his work with legendary composer, La Monte Young, ~~Mr.~~ Catler can be heard as featured soloist on the Gramavision double-CD "La Monte Young and the Forever Bad Blues Band." [[~~Pythagorean_family~~|Catler ~~temperament~~]] ~~is named for him.~~

'''Jon Catler''' is a guitarist, a composer and the founder FreeNote Music, which includes the FreeNote microtonal guitar store, the WildHouse recording studio and the microtonal music label FreeNote Records.
