As someone who had the luxury of wealthy parents who paid for classical guitar lessons as a child and also fortunate to live down the road from another great British guitarist, John Renbourn, who I blagged the odd free lesson off, I can play this, but nowhere near to the ability of this masterpiece performance, no matter how much you practice, some people just have an ability to play with seamless ease, which sadly I don't have. Classical guitar is a very difficult instrument to play, I got a lot out of my lessons and was introduced to some amazing music.

Both great men: Les was one of a kind and John is a nice guy who is game for a laugh as well as a brilliant virtuoso.

two rhythms on one set of fingers, that’s exceptional. I reckon most modern famous guitarist wouldn’t be up to it.

Love you, John, but something must've damaged your ears about 20 years ago. . . .

I'd be very interested to see you put up a youtube video playing Recuerdos de la Alhambra. I play it badly still at the age of 45, I learned off by heart when I was 15, but could never replicate the sound of John Williams. Put up a performance on youtube, if it's better than John Williams then you are fucking good guitarist.

oh and this performance is well over 20 years old.
