{ "ok" : true, "artist" : { "name" : "John Williams", "page" : "john_williams", "description" : "bluesy and jazzy guitar", "location" : "WA, USA", "bio" : "I'm a guitar player, mostly electric, steel string acoustic too. I do session work, songwriting, and production projects. I have a well-outfitted home studio for songwriting and some production, and I also work with a nationally acclaimed pro studio here in Seattle. I cover country, country/rock, blues and jazz, both acoustic and electric, solo guitar and full-band arrangements.\n\nI like working with songwriters and can take almost any songwriter's demo (even face-to-face), turn it into a full-blown arrangement suitable for any studio in Nashville, select and hire appropriate instrumentation, produce the project, assist with artwork and duplication, and assist with marketing. If you're interested, drop me some email.\n\nI am a tone fanatic. I love Teles and Strats - have several. My main guitar is a late-model Telecaster that has been modified with a humbucker in the neck, a Duncan Nashville Strat pickup in the middle, and a Joe Barden Tele pickup in the bridge.\n\nI'm also using a late-model Dobro (for slide and fretted), a Larrivee C-19, a Martin OM28V, a Music Man 6 string bass, an early '60s ES-175, a Music Man ASAT, a Deering 6 string banjo, a Ramirez classical, and a Tacoma Papoose. I have several other guitars but these are the ones that get used the most.\n\nI own about 25 amps of both vintage and modern design. I frequently use a Groove Tubes Soul-O 75, 1x12 combo and an early '60s Fender Princeton Reverb. I'm pretty much a \"straight into the amp\" kinda guy (with high-quality cable, of course).\n\nThe studio is also equipped with many, high quality vintage and modern microphones.", "photo" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/img/john_williams1.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/john_williams/", "albums" : [{ "sku" : "williams-dusty", "name" : "Dusty Porch", "artist" : { "name" : "John Williams", "page" : "john_williams" }, "release_date" : "2004-06-07", "genres" : ["Jazz","Blues","Instrumental Jazz"], "vocals" : "instrumental", "moods" : ["nostalgic","reflective","peaceful","tender","calm"], "uses" : ["podcast background","cafe or restaurant","lounge or bar","study or focus","emotional storytelling","slideshow or memories"], "energy" : 2, "instrumentation" : ["acoustic guitar","bluesy guitar","jazzy guitar"], "sounds_like" : [], "summary" : "Bluesy and jazzy instrumental acoustic guitar music with a warm, nostalgic, and peaceful feel, ideal for relaxed background use in cafes, podcasts, or reflective media.", "cover" : "https://magnatune.com/music/John%20Williams/Dusty%20Porch/cover_400.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/albums/williams-dusty/", "api_url" : "https://magnatune.com/api/albums/williams-dusty", "buy_url" : "https://magnatune.com/buy/album?sku=williams-dusty" },{ "sku" : "williams-long", "name" : "Long Ride Home", "artist" : { "name" : "John Williams", "page" : "john_williams" }, "release_date" : "2004-06-07", "genres" : ["Jazz","Blues","Instrumental Jazz","Instrumental Rock"], "vocals" : "instrumental", "moods" : ["energetic","groovy","driving","uplifting","nostalgic"], "uses" : ["road trip","vlog","travel","sports or action","cafe or restaurant","lounge or bar"], "energy" : 4, "instrumentation" : ["electric guitar","bluesy guitar","jazzy guitar","country-rock instrumentals"], "sounds_like" : [], "summary" : "Bluesy and jazzy electric guitar instrumentals with a hot country-rock feel, ideal for road trip videos, travel content, and lively background in cafes or lounges.", "cover" : "https://magnatune.com/music/John%20Williams/Long%20Ride%20Home/cover_400.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/albums/williams-long/", "api_url" : "https://magnatune.com/api/albums/williams-long", "buy_url" : "https://magnatune.com/buy/album?sku=williams-long" }] }, "license" : { "music_license" : "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 1.0 (CC BY-NC-SA 1.0)", "music_license_url" : "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/", "listening" : "Stream the free previews, or buy an album for $8 to download it in MP3, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, OGG or WAV. 100% of the price goes to the musician.", "non_commercial" : "Non-commercial projects may use the music under CC BY-NC-SA 1.0: credit the artist and Magnatune, and share alike.", "projects" : "Magnatune members may use any Magnatune music in their projects, commercial or not (videos, films, podcasts, games, apps, websites, adverts), including work for clients, under the Magnatune Project Licence.
