I once had a guy tell me that I couldn’t really play the guitar unless I knew how to play Malagurna.

I then asked him if he could give me his opinion as to who played it the best … he answered “Roy Clark.”

Well, Roy is a good guitarist but, Liona’s version is perhaps just slightly more sophisticated perhaps…?

Who do you think plays this piece the best?
