Good Guitar
I keep seeing all kindsa folks posting videos and recordings of fav guitar performances who then rave about how great these–usually rock performers–are as guitarists.
*pfui*
Carlos Montoya left behind a huge (HUGE) body of guitar performances second to none, and certainly better than any rock performer I’ve ever heard, not that some of them aren’t fair git-fiddle pickers, for what they have to work with.
And don’t even tempt me to start posting Segovia performances (cos I can’t find any of his on imeem I want to post right now
) … but since Woody remarked about a different performer, here’s one from John Williams (the guitarist, not composer/conductor):
Romance for Guitar and String Orchestra – John Williams
Oh, and here’s one by the guy Woody mentioned, Stevan Pasero:

Thanks for the neat guitar work. For some reason I have an uncontrollable urge to drink Dr. Pepper; wonder why that is? lol

Dr. Pepper? Well, cherry Dr. Pepper with a lil added vanilla is always nice…

Yes, that’s mucho impressivo.
Have you ever heard of Stevan Pasero? A little new age-ish at times, but he did a great classical guitar version of “Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairies” that is really amazing.
