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 64-note per octave fretted guitar and a fretless. Noted for his work with legendary composer, La Monte Young, Catler can be heard as featured soloist on the Gramavision double-CD "La Monte Young and the Forever Bad Blues Band".
