Forever Young - Bob Dylan



We should also listen to orginal by Bob Dylan. The mixture of Acoustic Guitar, end of fret notes and the Harmonica(we call it as mouth organ) is simply great.

This stage performance is good cover for Bob Dylan's original 'Forever Young'.

Stariway to Heaven: Fransisco Tarrega: Alhambra



Kaori Muraji plays the composition of Fransisco Tarrega - Alhambara. This is simply great. This is tried by so many musicians. This performance tries to capture the finer feelings behind the composition. I feel this composition expresses a sort of pain which can not be shared by you to any one. You will have to keep it with you till you die.

Asturias played John Williams



John Williams is playing the composition of Albeniz. See the end of first part, the note at the end of fret. After that, it sounds like a Veena. Great!

Sunburst - Andrew York by Andrea Ricciardi, in Spanish Guitar



Andrew York's composition of Sun Birst is tried in Spanish guitar. I liked it.

Julian Bream - J.S Bach-Violin Sonata fugue



Guitar has infinite possibilities. This is proven in this performance. A Violin music in Guitar! I like the Guitar version more than Violin.

Divine Music by Julian Bream & John Williams



Please listen to this divine music by Julian Bream and John Williams. You can see both the players are in love with Guitar.

Andres Segovia - Asturias

Great Composer: Isaac Albeniz - Asturias



Many legendary musicians palyed the great composition of Albeniz. This is simply great.
Enjoy the real creative non-compromising music.

Sunburst- Andrew York



The guitar used is called as Flemenco Guitar. This guitar is different normal metal strings spanish guitar. This has three nylon strings (high pitch strings G, B and E). Low pitch strings E, A and D are made of silver metal.

Playing this type of Guitar needs lot of practice. All the right hand fingers are to be used to paly the strings unlike using a pluck trem for Spanish guitar.

Andrew York - Numen
