Grande john sei stato tra i tre migliori chitarristi del 900/2000e forse di sempre, ti ascolto aempre con molto piacere, piacere dell'anima, Ignazio da Roma ❤❤❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😮😮😮
For such a mellow soft spoken person Williams produces a massive sound. So much power. And for his era had the greatest technical command of any classical guitarist.
Zero superfluous affectation. Zero unnecessary facial expressions and such. I love John Williams’ style of playing so much. It isn’t about him it’s about the composer
I never had the opportunity to hear him play live, and I'm sure what you pointed out is translated into his live performances. I love his "clinical" approach too.
he approaches with great respect and seriousness the composer whose piece of music he performs. It's something he knew how to do in his own unique personal way. Something that many people may not have understood even after so many years. He always gave me the impression in his performances that he wanted to highlight the composer first (through the Guitar) and himself last. Certainly a great, well-rounded personality, not only in the guitar or music world but also more widely.
What I'm about to say may be a bit of a sacrilege for some but, in my opinion, the static only adds to the warmth of the guitar. Marvellous performance.
First, thanks to those who took the effort to preserve and share this! Much better to have what we have here than nothing, that much is certain. Still, between the background noise and the mechanically induced flutter/wow, I found myself wanting to hear something a little closer to the original source transcription (which, after all, might have considerable flaws, too). Anyway, none of that should be considered a criticism of those who went to the effort of copying and supplying this for the rest of us to hear. Despite everything, the 'signal' of Williams' fine playing comes through.
As a double top player I have to admit at this point I like traditional guitars ie: Fleta (especially JW Fleta) better. That's just me.. I'm very blessed to have my guitars!
My teacher used to say it was all about the focus on the rhythm that made him incredible. Segovia was great but he took a lot of liberties with the rhythm. John always let you know where the 1 was. He rhythm is immaculate

If you listen, Freddy Mercury lifted the beginning notes and a descant later for slow parts of Bohemian Rhapsody before he sings "I just killed a man" and before "it really doesn't matter". He was classically trained, so he must have encountered this piece.
Of course they aren’t all playable on guitar, but Scarlatti wrote some 800 of these for harpsichord. All the ones that I’ve heard are quite difficult to memorize due to the near similarity of the variations. They were rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th Century- missing for some 200 years.
@@quixtovity7508 no it’s not, people use too many superlatives nowadays. Everything is epic or the GOAT. Really good doesn’t understate his talent for guitar playing. He really is good at playing the guitar. He’s no Chet Atkins or Tommy Emmanuel, those guys are great players. So I’ll stick to my initial comment...
@@MrRickkramer John Williams is far better than Atkins and Emmanuel, who are fundamentally showmen. Williams' technique is far more efficient and precise. He is considered one of the most proficient guitarists in the history of the instrument.
Greatest Classical Guitarist Alive. Bach Scarlatti Sor Giuliana Augustin Barrios Villa Llobos You name them, he's played them to utter precise perfection.
It's bad enough to play this music on other than a keyboard, but to deliver such cold and expressionless performances is insufferable on any instrument.

John is absolutely amazing...and so humble

perfect technique, absolutely no tension. amazing.
John Williams is the 🐐
John Williams was SO GOOD!
Is, in the present tense. He's still hale and hearty!
That 4th sonata, the control and the attack and the timing, was astonishing. That's as well as a classical guitar can be played I'd say.
Marvellous John Williams!!

quando non si sa come criticare un artista ci si attacca ad una sua presunta freddezza
A legend !

Maravilloso el Gran Jefe John Williams 👍✔

I know what you mean. That "stoner rock" quality.
Warm and fuzzy ? I enjoy it in my music too.

I had no idea he was a guitarist too. Now I wanna jam with him.
It Is not the sane guy.
@@ronaldogarcia6431 They're both sane...
He speaks with such humility. I enjoyed listening to him talk like I did his music
ΑΓΑΠΗΜΕΝΟΣ!!!!💐💐
Thank's and excellent
Yes. John Williams also plays guitar .
And Arnold Schwartzenegger was a bodybuilder.
So love this!!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for posting this!
Nobody sounds like John Williams, not even Segóvia or Brean. He is the guy!

Does anyone know the K numbers of the second and third sonatas ?
The second is K. 159, originally in C major. The third, K. 208, in A major as Williams played.
Marvellous. What opus are they?
Is there a video of this that actually SURVIVED!?!
3:50
Of course they aren’t all playable on guitar, but Scarlatti wrote some 800 of these for harpsichord. All the ones that I’ve heard are quite difficult to memorize due to the near similarity of the variations. They were
rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th Century- missing for some 200 years.
Два великих европейских гитариста--Джонн Вильямс и Джулиан Брим!..
Englishman I know are offended if you call them European
Scarlatti’s sonatas are difficult enough for the piano, never mind the guitar!!
Name of piece at 10:17?
k. 208
of course the 4th one is K.380 but what are the rest?
1. k.213
2. k.159
3. k.208
@@ChristianHuygens1 thanks a ton!
Wow didn’t know he played guitar!
there are TWO John Williams'es
Este es John Christopher Williams.No es el compositor de música para films.
как найти сонату по нумерации?
Tank you for this vidéo. Fantastic John Williams 👍👍👍👍😊 what is the name of the 3rd sonata, the slow one ? Thanks. I'd like to play it 😁
The 3rd is K.208,reasonablly famous.
@@catsuper6713 Thank you so much 👍😊
He’s totally absorbed in what he’s doing, his face is totally like someone who’s in the zone. Didn’t know he plays guitar, he’s really good too.
he is really good is kinda an understatement.

Nice music! Kind of the opposite of a pianist's fingernails.

Yes - yammering. Similar to the comment you wrote above. Cheers.
@@bronxemail7180 lol
He's no Kurt Cobain, but he's still pretty good at guitar.
Lol.
He plays some Seattle grunge late toward the end the low notes.
Terrible recording quality!
are you joking or do you really mean it
1976 dude!
It was freakin’ from freakin’ 1976!!! What do you expect??
Recoding itself propably good, but numerous later transfers hurt sound quality
Actually really good given age
Ice cold. Blah!
an insult or a compliment
Yes - the best classical guitarist the world has ever known is best served ice cold. Cheers.
Yo no sé que es lo que aprendió del maestro Segovia, pero si toca muy mal nunca comprendió a la guitarra. 😔
🤣
Nani?!

Bad take
You can really hear where he got the inspiration to Imperial March from
