Julian Bream’s playing of Bach in the 1960s influenced me to move away from the electric guitar to classical guitar and to classical music, especially baroque music, and the lute music of Dowland. I remember my first efforts trying to play the Bouree from the E minor suite from the record (it worked all right with Hank Marvin) and failing so miserably I had to learn to read music.
