	John Williams - Biography - AOL Music
		The son of a guitarist, John Williams -- not to be confused with the film composer of the same name -- took his first guitar lessons at age seven from his own father.
		Williams was signed to Columbia Records' Masterworks division (now Sony Classical) at the end of the 1960s, where he became that label's answer to Julian Bream at RCA-Victor and Christopher Parkening at Angel Records.
		Williams has worked with such non-classical luminaries as bandleader/pianist John Dankworth and singer Cleo Laine, among others, over the years, in various recording and performing pursuits, but he also continues as an active classical artist in concert and in association with Sony Music.

		Williams is rightly well-regarded for his ability to construct a tune and sound which perfectly complements the mood of a film.

	John Williams
		Lesser musicians adhere righteously to the lines separating tradition from innovation, soloist from accompanist - but the duo of multi-instrumentalist John Williams and guitarist Dean Magraw interact so effortlessly, and draw from such a wide range of traditions and techniques, that existing borders cease to be relevant.
		John Williams and Dean Magraw step out on this album as composers, arrangers, and improvisers of their own works as well as interpreters of classic pieces from La Bottine Souriante, Frankie Gavin, early Solas, and the thriller Road to Perdition.
		John was born in Chicago in 1967 and his playing has absorbed all the heart and vitality of Clare, together with Irish American influences like Johnny McGreevy, Seamus Cooley, Liz Carroll, and Joe Shannon.

	John Williams, guitarist, on... ensemble skills
		I suppose it is part of the history of the guitar that guitarists have been obsessed both with technique and also the technical aspects of the instrument.
		But in the last five years or six years, there has been a very great acceleration in the awareness of some very basic musical facts by guitarists, and that's a topic I would like to talk more about because so much is changing for the better.
		Guitarists are among the worst sight-readers I've come across.

	Reviews of John Williams
		Williams is a skillful player, and for those who know only his accordion and concertina playing, his ability on the flute and whistle will come as a pleasant surprise.
		John Williams is a button accordion and concertina player of rare ability, and on Steam, his second solo recording of traditional Irish dance tunes, he demonstrates it when, paradoxically, he plays with great restraint.
		Williams is one of those rare players whose sense of inner passion for and unity with the music is always evident in his soulful yet unabashedly energetic style of playing, be it a whirling dervish of a reel, a pulsating jig, an austere march, or an evocative slow air.

	Guitarist John Williams and Friends bringing 'Impressions of Africa' here 10/10/02
		Internationally renowned guitarist John Williams does not have lofty goals or a world-changing mission behind his concert program, "Impressions of Africa," which will finish its tour in Irvine Thursday, Oct. 17, at the Barclay.
		Williams was joined on the CD by some longtime collaborators: John Etheridge on acoustic steel-string guitar; Paul Clarvis on hand drums and other African instruments; Richard Harvay on flutes, whistles, mandolin, dulcimer and other instruments; Chris Laurence on the bass; Bebey, who sang his own songs; and an African choir.
		For the Barclay concert, which will mark Williams' Orange County debut, missing will be the choir and Bebey, who learned classical guitar himself and went on to become a respected ethnomusicologist, composer, singer and virtuoso of the pygmy flute and sanza, or thumb piano, before his death last year.

	Classical guitarist John Williams interview on topics of John Williams interests.
		John Williams needs no introduction to classical guitarists, or indeed fine music lovers the world over; since his debut at the Wigmore Hall in 1958, he has attained enormous popularity with his voluminous recordings in both the classical repertoire and with his rock group, Sky.
		John was in Australia touring with the Australian Chamber Orchestra for performances of Rodrigo's Aranjuez Concerto and Nourlangie, a new work for guitar, strings and percussion by Peter Sculthorpe.
		Most of guitarists I meet who play in competitions still belong to the older school of guitar playing where ensemble work is rare, but a couple of the young ones, especially from Germany, are very good all-round musicians.

	John Williams, guitarist, talks tone production on the guitar.
		If you hear a guitarist play it, it will sound fairly dull by comparison with how a string trio would play the same set of notes, where there would be much consideration of the phrasing and tone variation by each player.
		John Williams performing the Concerto de Aranjuez by Rodrigo in 2005 at the Prom Concerts
		I've always had strong nails, so that has helped too, but the reality is that the dynamic range that the guitar has is much less than the range, which actually carries in a concert hall.

	BenFolds.org - John Williams
		The guitarist has been around longer and is much more respected musician around the world than the pop-culture movie john williams.
		If you knew anything about the music world....you would know...that John williams....the GUITARIST is more respected....MUCH more respected than John Williams the movie score composer....he is a "pop" classical musician....granted he's good at what he does....but not respected by the professionals and pundits in comparison to the other.
		John Williams (the score writer) is a "Pop" movie composer...sure he uses an orchestra...but it's pop (with a little bit of gustav holtz influence).

	Two John Williams Albums
		The Guitarist is a work that originally appeared in the early 1980's; this current reissue is expanded and remastered.
		The Turkish motifs used in the movements are beautifully executed by Williams, bringing to mind the sounds of the saz.
		Having heard other discs by John Williams, where he ably produces "traditional" classical guitar, it's a bit of a start to hear him playing so beautifully on these discs.

	SoundStage! John Williams - Plays Schubert and Guiliani
		The three-movement Concerto is somewhat more challenging to the guitarist, which is what one might expect since Guiliani wrote mainly for the guitar.
		On both pieces, Williams’ skillful playing nicely complements the orchestra, which, in turn, allows the guitarist to convey the joy of both compositions.
		This is a disc I think every guitarist will enjoy and one with which to introduce classical music to the newcomer.

		Guitarist John Williams has an adventurous spirit that’s unusual among classical guitarists.
		It turns out he’s been listening to and playing this country's guitar music for some 50 years, and he approaches it with a mastery he could hardly have matched on his African record.
		But the analysis doesn't matter: the music is fresh and beautiful, and his execution strikes the perfect balance between virtuosity and free-spirited ease.
