This is very sad news. I got to see him play live just once; when he toured the UK in 2018 and played at my home town of Lancaster. I've very much enjoyed his books and instructional videos over the years. An absolutely stellar player, but a really nice, ordinary and kind chap too - I once contacted him about one of his videos and received an email from the man himself within a day or two. I play a lot of his arrangements, particularly his take on Rev. Gary Davis tunes. My favourite player of the guitar.
RIP Woody
