Rod Poole (born January 4, 1962, in Taplow, England; died May 2007 in Los Angeles, CA^[1]) was a British guitar player who released several acclaimed albums of acoustic guitar in just intonation. He died in 2007 after being stabbed in a road rage incident.^[2] Poole began his musical career in England before moving to the United States in 1989, where he studied just intonation with Erv Wilson and became active in the Los Angeles improvised and experimental music scenes. Poole played a modified 1972 Martin Acoustic, rebuilt with a new fretboard to accommodate a 23-note octave of his own design.^[3] Nels Cline described Poole as "a true artist, probably a genius."
