Studies with Julian Bream, rubbing shoulders with Meryl Streep, Dustin Hoffman, Pierre Boulez? Yeah, I want to be a classical guitarist too!
In this inspiring episode of the Classical Guitar Corner Podcast Fred Hand shares stories from a lifetime in music.
Simon–thanks so very much for this interview with Fred. So thoughtful, intelligent, and engaging. You do a wonderful job contributing to the conversation keeping the listener interested and involved. Congratulations on a very fine effort. cheers. Ron
Wonderful podcast, Simon! It’s always a treat to hear Fred share his guitar related stories.
Fred and I had discussions like this many years ago, even before his first recordings were released. He was actually a “classical” guitarist who enjoyed many other musics as as player. I pursued similar interests as well, mostly into jazz and world music, but have always thought that Fred is a world-class guitarist who is actually a better musician than most classical guitarists. Wonderful interview with great insights.
Really enjoyed this and great insight on what motivates and drives musicians.
Wonderful interview, Dr. Powis! I was so engaged and could have listened for another hour. I can’t wait until the next one!
Wow, that was really fun and informative. I can pass along some suggestions, and have a few new goals. Thanks for a wonderful presentation Simon.

This was such a wonderful insight into the world of music in general. What I took away from this podcast with two guitarists who clearly love music is that the discipline that we dwell on in the beginning stages of learning this instrument (or any other) is the method by which we squeeze the colors out onto the pallet and then, when the colors are finally all there, we are supposed to paint!! I think in the interview it was refered to as learning the “vocabulary” of the instrument. Thanks Simon for bringing this to us.
Great interview – Simon & Fred – looking forward to the next one. JP
Great podcast, Simon! I would have been quite happy to hear more.
Great podcast. Fred has written a lot of fine music. It is difficult to find all of it that he has recordings for on YouTube.
Fantastic podcast! I am looking forward to part 2.
