@jamieboy170 oh well, it is not the most difficult one, but it is difficult playing it like JW does! :-)
-
this is considered to be the most difficult piece of guitar music ever written. They don't get any better than John Willians

@TheMax161 Absolutely. It is amazing how people who are probably no more than average players, feel they have the right to criticize the technique of a master like Williams. I can understand someone saying they prefer Pepe Romero's version (personally I think Ana Vidovic has the best "Recuerdos") but to get into a discussion on the quality of his technique?? Give me a break!!!

@skepticdude2 Really? Put a video up on YouTube.

@Bostero3771 Well said. I am astonished at the self-righteous conceit I see in these comments: these fools don't play, yet they attempt to impress one another by pointing out errors in Williams playing. I have studied classical guitar for over 35 years, and these comments make no sense, nor do they indicate any true understanding of the piece or the performer. It's like looking at a Ferrari, and saying the engine is flawed without ever having opened the hood.

@npi99 ??? How are you qualified to make that statement? Are you a guitarist?
I went to see JW live 5 years ago, he played perfectly, and it was live so there not several takes. So what if he missed a few notes here, he´s not a robot. By the way I got a chance to talk with him and got his autograph. Pretty cool guy and down to earth :)

I guess you can play it better than him? also, it is not a "song" it is a piece, actually a masterpiece, and regardless of a few mistakes he makes he is still the best classical guitarist ever.
