Here's an early performance of the "William Tell Overture" done on an
acoustic guitar. He usually did this on an electric.

I think the guitar is an Ovation Classical meaning the neck is wide and
flat, not like most modern acoustics with a narrow neck with a radius.

A classical style is much more difficult to play, especially for a song

Fantastic job on the Lone Ranger theme. Tidbit is the William Tell
Overture was used as was no copyright and cost nothing to use.


Never knew that. Interesting.
