I just read on Facebook that Al Petteway has died. He was diagnosed with terminal esophageal cancer about a month ago.
I really enjoyed his music and playing and joy for the guitar. I have tried to play a number of his arrangements.

This is very sad. I love his music, not least “Sligo Creek” written for Ken Burns’ films about US national parks. I have a number of his tune books, which have been a source of much inspiration for me. RIP.

That’s a great shame. I have enjoyed his music over the years.
RIP

Sad news. A great player and watching his Dream guitar videos is a very enjoyable past time for me.

So sad. He was one of the fingerstyle greats.

Lovely tribute to Al from Doug Young - in music and words - watch it on Youtube to read the blurb -

RIP! Will be sorely missed in the fingerstyle guitar community.
