Good morning Mr. Khan, many years since I wrote to you, and so many things have changed. I have always reflected a lot on the words you wrote to me, because they were enlightening. I continued listen to your great music and your incredible way of playing the instrument. I think you are among my 5/10 favorite guitarists in the history of music and the history of the instrument. I let some time pass to tell you how great, indeed giant, you are as musician. I listened again to all of your musical production and it really leaves breathless. A great admirer of your music and of your person. - Pino

Hi Steve, I've been listening to your catalogue from oldest to newest, and I really love the tone on the guitar on the "LET'S CALL THIS" album. I hear some compression, some reverb/delay, and mostly neck pickup. Also, now that I'm semi-retired, I'm working on my guitar chops and really want to improve my comping. I have two of your books "PENTATONIC KHANCEPTS" and "CONTEMPORARY CHORD KHANCEPTS." Thanks in advance for any feedback. Best regards, Robert

Steve: I studied with you in the late '90s, and to this day, the material you shared is at the center of my evolving journey as a player. I am certain that what I internalized from my studies with you made me a better player by magnitudes. The problem with magnitudes is that they are endless, and they make playing guitar both elevating and depressing.
"PENTATONIC KHANCEPTS" had not yet been published when I was studying with you, but it's been front and center for 20+ years for me, and it's a great gift. Thanks, and let's just pretend that Trump is still just a TV show. Regards, Jon

Listening to your music from the '70s, and it is incredibly beautiful. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent. I had written to you back in early 2004, not only were you very generous, but you were so gracious to me, and even told me stories about my saxophone idol, Mr. David Sanborn (R.I.P.). Thank you very much once again for perpetuating The Brecker Brothers Band sound and for doing what you do. Peace, love, and many blessings from Amishland, Lancaster County.

Hi Steve! Wishing you a belated Happy Birthday! (4/28) I enjoyed your writing and analysis on the Emotions. I must have been about 12 years old when I bought the "REJOICE" cassette in 1977. I've always liked their sound. All the best to you Steve! - Rohn

Greetings Steve, I recently caught your NYU Steinhardt Jazz Studies interview on YouTube, and what an enjoyable interview it was to watch. I also wanted to mention my sincere appreciation towards you for when I was attending Berklee back in the '80s, and you were so kind to correspond with me, and even hand copy many of your early lead sheets for my studies. Thanks as always for your continuing inspiration and gorgeous music.
P.S. Your website is such a gold mine, and so well presented. Bravo!
With my kindest regards and humble respect, Brent

Just saw a video on YouTube with Steve and his trio titled; STEVE KHAN TRIO w/ Jay Anderson (Ac. Bass) & Ben Perowsky (Drums): The Bottom Line, New York City 1992. Check it out everyone. It is most excellent!

Aloha Maestro Khan, I've been transcribing a tune you collaborated with the late Dave Samuels. The tune is called "Freetown" from his 1989 album "TEN DEGREES NORTH"(GRP). I've been trying to guess what you guys played on the Intro/Vamp section as I hear Dave starting the chord progression on beat 4. Thank you for your time. I really appreciate all the music, energy and spirit you have given us through out your years. - Luis

Dear Steve, I wanted to write and thank you for your "WES MONTGOMERY GUITAR FOLIO" transcriptions. It's really good. I especially appreciate you not providing TAB, as I don't play guitar in a standard tuning. My test of the material was to match your excellent take on "Mr. Walker" with what I had come up with about 15 years ago. I learned a lot comparing them side by side. Thank you! Best, Ned

Steve... Your music, your character, and your articulate expression of what the sane fraction of this country is feeling gives me hope and something to help mitigate the feelings of despair. I know that every time I play hockey, someone out there pays for my frustration (no intent to injure). I imagine you must be as disappointed as I am in Gretzky and Orr supporting that miscreant. Thanks for the musical inspiration and for giving our feelings a voice! I'd love to hear Rhiannon Giddens take on Orange Hitler!

Hello Mr. Khan: Nice to meet you. I'm a jazz guitar student from Argentina. Thanks to your site, I discovered Laura Fygi's "Sabor a Mi" and the wonderful solo by Leo Amuedo, which I'm studying with your transcription. I'm amazed of the wonderful chords that the arranger, Jurre Haanstra heard in such a simple tune. I tried to learn, with no success the chord of the Intro: would you be so kind to help me with those chords? I want to take advantage of the occasion to greet you and thank for your music and educational material, which I know. Receive my best wishes.

Hi Steve, I am listening to your "EVIDENCE" recording. Wow, it is great to revisit this masterpiece years after I was really into playing it!
You add really tasteful effects, and overdubs that enhance the playing. Along with great arrangements and playing of these challenging and great
tunes. I bet a lot of your skill at these things was from all the studio work you did? It must have taken a lot of time to make such a great solo record. I am especially interested in how you created the effects on "In a Silent Way."
Another example is what I hear as impossible staccato closed voicings on "Little Rootie Tootie" with some interesting effect. Thanks for creating such an enduring masterpiece!
