I came across this looking for Bernstein's third symphony, watch him conduct this warm up simply utilizing the C major scale. This just completely blew me away. My favorite playing of a scale! Just amazing. Watch the rest, it's really inspiring.

I didn't know you could date from beyond the grave! I'd like to have a go for Marilyn Monroe!

To conduct an orchestra and to play in one are very different skillsets. Though as guitarists, orchestras are not our forte. The guitar is a relatively new instrument, and as such not a lot of orchestras have a place for the guitar as there isn't a lot composed for us. There are a few though, very good ones, do a search for guitar conciertos.

Yeah, that's what I plan to do when I'm older. I mentioned this to you before, I'm going to be a composer, not someone who plays on TV. I play instruments to grasp ideas of melodies.

Guitars do play in an Orchestra though.

Well, I suppose it depends on how you look at it, if a completely different instrument is the same instrument your logic is sound.

1780 is when the first 6 stringed guitar made it's apearance and 1884 would be the first time a guitar was created that was... a guitar.

1900's would be the first time a real guitar concierto was made.
