John Williams - Concierto de Aranjuez 2nd Movement

classical music isnt really played with steel strings at all.

Why were steel-stringed guitars made then? What was its purpose or advantage? I know it makes the sound louder.

Pretty much like most modified instruments. To have a wider range color and timbric options when it comes to composing. Steel Guitars are mostly used on Rock&roll, Just listen to most rock ballads and you'll find out those are acoustic steel strings.

Also keep in mind it is really hard to pull a strong-brilliant sound out of steel guitars when using just your fingers. Classical guitar uses open hand and not pick because it is usually written in polyphonic textures. Hence steel strings are't used on such compositions.

It's music like this and the artists that play that restore my flagging faith in humanity.

John Williams again makes it look soo simple..beleive me it's not! Brilliant interpretation. I'm proud to call him an Aussie!

This music reminds me of a beautiful señorita from madrid whom I met I was young man. As you listen to this sweet melody, simply close your eyes and her face will appear to you.

Great! But i have a friend play amazing thats concert! Pedro Angel Upload your Music men!

Wow! I love this composition and always fancied having a go at it. No more though. Some of those stretches look a nightmare.

so happy to hear such lovely music by john williams
