John Williams makes it look like he is doing nothing at all. Sublime playing. He doesn't break sweat! It sounds like his technique is a gift from the Gods, but it is just a result of years of devoted practise. He studied at Segovia's Summer School from the age of 11. Encouraged and taught from early years by his guitar-playing Dad and then tutored by the best. After that it was just down to about 25 hours-a-day practise.
