Vieaux plays classics and...Pat Metheny

The great American guitarist Jason Vieaux is back for day two of music and conversation. Vieaux plays the Spanish classic "Capriccio Arabe" by Francisco Tarrega, Variations on Mozart's Magic Flute by Fernando Sor...and his own classical-style arrangement of a tune by jazz guitarist Pat Metheny. Vieaux also talks about meeting and playing with Pat Metheny. (He says: "It was like meeting a Beatle!")
