    John Williams said that in the early years he practiced 30 minutes every day. He also said that knowing what you are doing while practicing is vital.

    As a psychologist, I would say it’s brilliant that his father had him just hold the guitar before he ever tried to play anything on it, because that establishes holding the guitar in a really relaxed natural way and not getting tension the way you do when you try to play something difficult

    God Bless John Williams. He is such a gentleman. And his recordings will inspire generations. In my opinion the greatest classic guitarist of the 20th century.

    Interesting how my favourite guitarist doesn&apos;t apply proper posture in part one, whilst sitting on a chair normally.<br>So glad he&apos;s actually human!

    Love how humble he is. Alirio spent quite a while teaching in Australia actually.

    I paused this wonderful interview with one of my childhood heroes of the classical guitar amongst other luminaries of the period like Julian Bream who was featured with John Williams on &nbsp;recordings &nbsp;in duets together. &nbsp;Such an honor to hear his personal story. &nbsp;Bravo tutti!
