Talk:John Williams (guitarist)

message: I swear i see this guy in my local guitar shop all the time. It might not be him, but theres this guy who plays classical guitar really well (I think it could be terrible for all i know about classical guitar), and they look the same. Anyone know where he lives now?

message: In the other genres section, it might be worth a mention of the Chilean folk group Inti-Illimani with whom John Williams (and Paco Peña) performed and collaborated. There are indirect references in the discography -- the 1987 album Fragments of a Dream/Fragmentos de un Sueño and the 1990 album Leyenda (which links to the wrong page about Albeniz's composition Asturias (Leyenda)) were both Inti-Illimani albums on which Williams performed. Williams and Peña also toured with Inti-Illimani at least once in Australia, and possibly more/elsewhere. The only source I can find is Inti-Illimani's website, but I can't confirm as I don't speak the language: http://inti-illimani.cl/historia/1999-2003/ and http://www.inti-illimani.cl/?page_id=214/  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.148.41.227 (talk) 19:51, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

message: "He has recorded albums of duets with fellow guitarists Julian Bream and Paco Peña."
John & Paco are certainly good friends and have played together in public (there's some stuff on YouTube), but: recorded (an) album of duets?  I think not, although of course there were three with Bream.
If no one can produce the details of this album within a reasonable time-frame, I'm going to delete this.

message: He gave a performance to some pupils (maybe 10 - 15) who wanted to see him (and got out of a lesson or 2) at the King's School Macclesfield probably around 1965. I remember his guitar was a beautiful instrument and he played it very well, obviously. No memory of what he played.
