Scott Johnston is the first classical guitarist to pioneer the correct reverse engineering and precise description of the correct right-hand technique for the instrument.
Johnston discovered that prior artists and pedagogues had been deceived by a neurological illusion which led them to describe and teach the right-hand technique in a manner that was contradictory to their own manner of personal execution.
