Comments "At the height of his fame in the 1930s, Segovia was painted by a famous painter holding a tuning fork to his ear while his guitar was in his lap; this infuriated Segovia because he'd never had a need for a tuning fork, and this is confirmed by various of his eminent students: John Williams, Alirio Díaz and Julian Bream, all brilliant classical guitarists in their own right."
