@chapeauelesmirriau The only thing JW gives to guitar music is how to technically approach passages; his technique cannot be faulted. With regard to interpretation, however, the man is a robot. I've seen him perform the Chaconne by Bach and throw it off as easily a party piece. It was an instantly forgettable performance as are so many of his concerts because he lacks a connection with the music that goes beyond playing all the notes correctly and quickly and with a nice tone.

Actually, it's a probably a pretty smart strategy as a concert flamenco guitarist outside of Spain to play the compositions of the greats. If he were to try to create his own compositions, perhaps he would be wildly successfull, but the odds are against it. Out of the thousands of talented flamenco guitarists, there has only been one Paco and one Sabicas. True, the second tier players can and do create their own compositions, but they never are quite as good IMO.

There's a Native American saying, "Never criticize anyone without walking in his moccasins first".

Really? Well, Ramon Montoya made popular the "Palo" rondeñas. Although many guitarists have written many rondeñas's falsetas, the very term rondeña evokes the memory of Ramon. You are right there are great composers, and great intepreters; however, it is the composers who leave their trade mark. Anyone can wear a top hat and play like slash, everyone is good at imitating; the real challenge is: Can you be original and set new standards of music and leave your indelible print.

John Williams is one of the best classical guitar players in history, I do believe his interpretations of the works of Barrios and many others will be remembered. What is more, I'm sure Barrios would admit that his own work was magnified by Williams' interpretation. Some musicians are great composers, others great interpreters, and others both. They all give something to music.

when I said you were stuck, I meant that you should have more in your arsenal. It's like when kids pick up a guitar, see John Petrucci shredding and immediately want to go out and play fast scales. Some of the succeed, but they're stuck playing fast, they don't know how to do anything else. I don't know Williams, but if it's true that he plays what others wrote, I guarantee you that once his dead, so will be his music, while Paco will be remembered long after his departure.
