but I don't for a nano second believe Segovia would ever have listened to The Beatles and even more would have approved of playing their music on Classical guitar.
Really; Segovia hated Pop music and electric guitar...he would have screamed to turn it OFF if someone played a Beatle record.
I like this Beatle music arrangement a lot better than Laurence Juber who has been milking his time with Wings for all it's worth. Fred has such a commanding power over the guitar and makes something new come out from the music.
Pity we can't get Fred on TV instead of Paris and Brittney.
How often does the mainstream media ever feature a solo guitarist? Never. YouTube rocks.
Wow. What a beautiful orchestral-like arrangement. Tremendous attention to detail. The only thing that was a little overbearing was the beginning. It took a full 1:30 seconds to create the primary loop. I didn't realize he was using a looper at that point, so I was starting to wonder if he was going to do anything more than play the accompaniment. I'm glad I stuck it out!
This was predicted by Andres Segovia many years ago - that the Beatles can sound good on the guitar transcribed arranged as
a solo orchestra. This post is certainly the Best
Ever I've heard and seen performed -
Bravo Maestro Fred Benedetti..
I am sure my Teacher Carlos Barbosa Lima
and Elliot Fisk will feel amazed about this!
Has this been transcribed faithfully?

I don't know where you get your information...
