Anthony John - Guitarist

Anthony John is an English guitarist and composer based in Lisbon, Portugal. He was chosen by Brian May to be the principal guitarist in the Queen and Ben Elton musical We Will Rock You. He plays a variety of styles on both electric and acoustic guitar, including jazz, rock, pop and blues/slide guitar. In 2021 Anthony released his solo acoustic guitar album 'Look For the Silver Lining'. He is an official Brian May Guitars artist.

“Recording Anthony John was a rare treat. The work behind his own solo guitar arrangements of classic songs is truly impressive and compelling, having inspired me to want to try and do my own (!), although his talent, commitment and mastery of the acoustic guitar, along with his impeccable taste, would make that a useless endeavour. Much better to just sit back and enjoy these recordings of his great performances.“
