John Williams must be regarded as one of the world's foremost ambassadors of the guitar. Born in Australia, he learnt guitar from his father, Len Williams, and thereafter attended courses with Segovia at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena, Italy. He later studied music at the Royal College of Music in London. By the early 1960s, he had performed in London, Paris, Madrid, Japan, Russia and the US.
