Absolutely superb recording....so nice just hear JW discussing the instrument in depth... thoroughly enjoyed this... thank you..He was a very talented player at such a young age.....
Huge thanks for uploading this fascinating early video of John! 07:28 See!...maestro John CAN play with a plectrum. Rock on John! (then again, we do see him playing a Les Paul in Sky)
Can someone help me find this: In 2003, I saw on the internet a video of a Spanish man playing Barrios' La Catedral, and using a pick instead of his fingers. He did a perfect job even though playing that piece with a pick is absurdly difficult. The guitar, if I remember, was very small, probably a lute. Lost the video during the next 20 years. Many thanks to anybody who can point me toward that video again.
His accent is a sort of Australian but overlain with southern middle class English. The other voices have accents are now almost extinct I would think - very posh or stagy like a classical actor. This was the voice you always heard in the media in the world I grew up in right up to the 1980s. If you didn't sound like this, well, poor you. Good riddance to the past!
@@adude9882I find what has largely replaced it quite hideous! I’m in my late 70s and talk like those relics of the past. I have been mocked for it occasionally since about the 80s. I do find glottal stops, lost gs and ‘h’aitches (as in ‘un’in’, shoo’in’ ‘n’ fishin’) as well as nasal nail-scrape vaiowels quaint and risible and silly.. ugh!.. Anywy, noice te see JW ply va loo’ as well as ve gi’ah..
His playing was always so powerful like a king.

Awesome video! Very informative. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for uploading this! I enjoyed it very much! I love Williams playing in his early years :)
Wow for a moment there in the Schubert I thought JW was going to burst into song…

None better.
Why does he have a British accent? He's from New York. Or is this a different John Williams?
This is John Williams the Australian classical guitarist, as opposed to John Williams the film music composer and conductor.
