John Williams, guitarrist, arranger and composer

John Williams was born in 1941 in Melbourne, Australia. His family moved to Great Britain when he was eleven, where he has resided ever since. He graduated in piano and went on to create the guitar department of the Royal School of Music, in London. He subsequently ran it for two years. He has given concerts practically the whole world over and apparently has recorded the entire repertoire of music ever written for guitar.

When I was studying music at school we watched one of his performances and since then I have continued to enjoy listening to him play. Have a listen and see what you think...

Oh, by the way,  "colibri" is the Spanish word for "humming-bird".

Mai havia escoltat salut d'amour amb guitarra, i m'encanta! Queda preciós. Jo suggeriria que escoltessiu també a David Russell, sobre tot amb sueño en la floresta. És moolt musical :)
