I met John Williams about 18 years ago when he came a music conservatory I was taking lessons at. We got to play for him, he gave critic and then he did a concert that night. It was awesome and a great guy.
Because I'm learning this song, I've watched so many of these video by various different artists. Many of them play it fast as they possibly can and loose some of the songs feel. John Williams plucks adds depth by plucking soft to hard, slower to faster over the main rift (and the rest of it for that matter) like a boss
The English word guitar, the German gitarre, and the French guitare were adopted from the Spanish guitarra, which comes from the Andalusian Arabic قيثارةر qitara,itself derived from the Latin cithara, which in turn came from the Ancient Greek κιθάρα kithara, and is thought to ultimately trace back to the Old Persian language. Tar means string in Persian.
@sspphhiinnxx Isaac Manuel Francisco Albéniz y Pascual (Spanish pronunciation: [iˈsak alˈβeniθ]) (29 May 1860, Camprodon – 18 May 1909, Cambo-les-Bains) was a Spanish Catalan pianist and composer best known for his piano works based on folk music idioms (many of which have been transcribed by others for guitar) satisfied enough ?

@ricardohernandezosun He keeps the same tremolo beat its one bass and three tremolo he just is able to do it super fast its hard but once you get the hang of it your good.
Currently trying to play it.. Omg, so hard. Can notice that he even not read a partition. If I play the begining as fast as I can, I play slower than him. Congrats.
I listened this song when I was a little girl.. and I remember it since then... I first listened to it played by a Cuban friend of my family.. I love how music can take you to other dimensions.. =)
He estado haciendo unas busquedas sobre este tema y quienes lo han interpretado y puedo decir que esta es para mi gusto la mejor intrepretada a guitarra. Paco de lucia y otros la tocan pero no le dan este punto. Es un tema extraordinario
people go on about feeling etc, but how do criticize feeling? is it the look on the musician's face? is it the ability to slow down and change the tempo? because i think most of the people here going on about feeling have no idea...
I can play the first half of this, and almost at this speed. You wanna get this good? Start by perfecting your body and hand posture. Proper form will take you to the next level.
WOW just picked up my classical and started playing this song after a while, thought I was playing pretty pro...... I guess I should have expected feeling ultimately owned after watching this video :P
en serio, es realmente complicado reproducir esta pieza musical con la precision, el tempo y nitidez que lo esta haciendo wilians, alveniz la creo si pero ese elemto la interpreta mu bien, no hace falta ser subnormal para que no te guste, pero el que dice que no le gusta este sonido de guitarra es por hacerse el duro, hasta los mas metaleros saben apreciar este tema y el trabajo que lleva.

@pareaargostoli1993 I can play the song except not this fast. This song is most impressive because of the unwavering tempo that the guitarist keeps up the entire song.
@redbarron718 It's not just about speed, but combining the technique with the spirit, the speed with the feeling. Watch also Segovias' version(plays it slower/more free tempo) & Vidovic's(plays it faster). You can't say that one plays it better than the others, it's a matter of taste. So my point is that "being able to play it" is much more than getting the notes right, or a fast tempo.
P.S Sorry if I have any errors, i haven't practice my English writting skills for a while... :P
Bravo à toi tu as choisi un musicien hors du commun et une mélodie qui a fait mille fois le tour du monde. Félicitations pour ce choix car il s'agit sur le plan musical d'un virtuose !!!!!!!! Merci à toi pour ce partage que j'adore, amitiés, joselito
Say or think whatever ya please, Williams is above tha childish criticisms. Ta my way of thinkin, he, along with Segovia are 2 of tha best ta EVER pick up a guitar!
No es tan solo una simple guitarra es el valor y las ganas del autor q hace de un sonido armonico en un sonido intenso y a la vez un sonido q se mete en nuestras vidas transformando nuestro estado de animo en una simple Paz!!
