Lucius, if you're going to bring Julian Bream into it, it's only fair to say that John Williams is ahead of him. Even Julian Bream said that.

I know that making claims for who's best may be a bit futile, but it provokes an entertaining discussion, whatever BlueJay thinks. I thought he was a bit unfriendly BTW, Murray, telling you off without pointing you to help on HTML.

Anyway, John Williams really is a strong contender in his own field. He brought to the guitar "a level of technique the world has never seen," according to some bloke called Sogovia. Of course, that will just encourage someone to go out and play better.

As for the subject of this thread, if he's better than Arty McGlynn, he must be a neat player.
