You have arrived at the Internet home of Jonathan Maness.  I am a multi-instrumentalist and producer in the Knoxville, TN area.

I love playing guitar.  I fell in love with the sound of the steel-string acoustic guitar at an early age, and I love it.  For the purposes of this site, that's all you need to know about me.  I want to be an artisan. 

Now my first attempts at guitar were in the vein of such bluegrass flatpickers as Doc Watson, Tony Rice, and Bryan Sutton, but I also love Stevie Ray Vaughan, Chet Atkins, Joe Pass, John Williams, Brad Paisley, etc.  I am trying to find a way to incorporate all the guitar sounds I can into a recognizable style of acoustic playing that creates an emotional response like the names above do in me.

Best Regards,
Jonathan Maness
