segovia is probably the greatest guitar player that ever lived,but his process of teaching is very uncomfortable,its like pele trying to teach maradona to be just like him as a forward striker in soccer,it just cant happen,because everyone has a different aproach.that applies to music as well,u cannot express even classical pieces the very same way u do it,u would have to posses segovia's mind to do that but that is impossible.teaching music must be a tough job, at least the philosophy of it.

Dear Guitar lovers, I just read the 1st 4 or 5 pages of comments and am appalled to seethat no one even barely mentions that Segovia's master classes would not have been what they were, nor would classical and Latin American guitar be what it is, without his main pupil and assistant Alirio Díaz, who turned out to be a finer guitarist than he himself. Should anyone have any material on his '63 or '62 Masterclasses in Sienna, I'm a buyer for personal reasons. Thanks, Michael.

More than likely in the back rows or off camera. There is another video with the Master Class Certification Performance with his performance.

Muso8787: you wouldnt last a day in the military. youre a baby. this is the big leagues here, master class. the people in this class are already accomplished skilled players who simply want to get even better. this isnt a lesson at the local music store for 10 year oldshe wasnt arrogant. he simply didnt mess around and had his way of making good musicians

JoeriDobbeleir:he disliked electric guitars because he was already an old man when they were still a new thing. hes very traditional. many of our grandparents or great grandparents also did not like electric guitars. its all about the period you were raised, period. back in segovias day no real innovation had come about yet with electric guitars to him it was noise. quite easy to understand why he wouldnt appreciate rock and roll of the 50s and 60s especially since he was a classical player
