When guitarist John Schneider asked me to write a piece in 1981 (Los Angeles), I had a nylon string guitar lying around my apartment.
I was trying this and that, although I couldn't really play this and that, trying it anyway, and imagining what a guitarist could actually do with his or her hands on the instrument.
With a guitar slide it would be easy for a real guitarist to play glissandi on all six strings at once.

John Schneiderguitarist, composer, baritone, microtonal guru (and host of KPFK’s Global Village) — put together a concert mostly of works Partch composed early on for himself to, er, sing, and delivered a pretty good facsimile of the old boy’s stentorian growl.
Some of Partch’s instruments were on hand: originals, re-creations and, in one case, a keyboard programmed to reproduce the 43-tone scale of the original Chromelodeon; the performers, members of Schneider’s “Just Strings,” managed their exotic gadgetry with appealing skill.
As long as there are John Schneiders to re-create passably the sounds of Partch — like all those jazz bands around claiming to rekindle the sounds of Ellington — we’ll have a tenuous grip on this unique byway in the annals of American innovation.

Classical guitarists David Tanenbaum and John Schneider have both had working relationships with Harrison which have resulted in new music for the guitar, and composer-approved transcriptions of music for harp and keyboard.
Schneider and Tanenbaum have both risen to this challenge and present the work on the instrument for which it was written.
Perhaps the most important point for guitarists to consider when playing Harrison's music (and a difficult matter to reconcile) is Harrison's exclusive use of just intonation and tuning systems other than equal temperament.

In settings ranging from the transient shelters of Depression-era California to the reading room of the British Museum, from cleaning sewers to taking tea with Irish poet W.B. Yeats, Partch's story reveals seven months in a lifetime devoted to forging a new musical language beyond the traditions of Western classical music.
