He wasn't the greatest technician on earth (he only studied a short time with a teacher, as states his
biography), he wasn't really famous outside Brazil, in spite of the
many recordings available under his name, of his various talents (
drawing, designing a
new string instrument), but his playing is really endearing, and whatever the material,
originals,
bach or
chico buarque, he made his point across easily.

Isaac Guillory was widely regarded as probably the best acoustic guitarist in Britain.
These three clips from a Berkeley performance in 1989 show why he is still much missed.
