I don't think I've ever seen classical guitar mentioned on this forum, but if you have any familiarity with the genre, Bream was a legend.
He was 87.

Re: RIP Julian Bream
That was really really cool!!! I listened to it while surfing the web.
Pretty sure, GGF bro, jgreenwd is into classical.
I've been tweaking out some pretty poor flamenco on my classical guitar but, I'll never post any clips!

And Loop, too. You can't avoid developing a taste for it when you go to music school.
Segovia put classical guitar on the map, Bream made it legitimate.

Re: RIP Julian Bream
Yeah, Bream was amazing.
I started playing guitar because of my grandfather, who was a very good classical guitarist. So I played classical guitar for the first few years before discovering rock music and moving to the electric guitar.
I don't know how to play classical guitar anymore, it's been many years but that's how I started. Bream and Christopher Parkening were the 2 guys I looked up to before Ace and Eddie lol

Re: RIP Julian Bream
Damn. That's an EVH-level loss in that arena, IMO.
Truth!
I dug in pretty deep with classical guitar and piano before I ever approached all of this silly alien metal. One of my favorite pieces of music to play, on any instrument, is Addinsell's Warsaw Concerto on the piano.

Re: RIP Julian Bream
Yeah I did a classical guitar minor at Uni. Or just music minor I guess it was, but classical guitar was the instrument I auditioned on. Got one year of guitar lessons/performance and a couple years in the university guitar quartet, everything else was theory/history and one year of choir to meet the course reqs. So at one point at least I was okay-ish at it. Not anymore though haha.
Bream and John Williams were the first classical guitarists I got into. And a Canadian dude Norbert Kraft.
My lockdown project was going to be to finally really learn Recuerdos de la Alhambra, but my tremolo technique is seriously whack now and half the time I just grab an electric close by to play it and it's NOT the same thing. I have it memorized at least now.

Re: RIP Julian Bream
Sad news.........
Yep, like everybody else, I loved Bream, Williams, and Segovia. I still have their CD's.
Side note- I once went to a concert where Carlos Monytoya was the "headliner".
He was great, but after about 45 minutes he spoke, and he sounded like Tweety Bird, shifted up two octaves.
It made me wonder what EVH sounds like singing!
