    European Guitar Quartet: The Beatles of Classical Guitar

    What happens when four guitarists connect so deeply that it feels almost telepathic? 🎸 In this episode, Rob Cass welcomes European Guitar Quartet — Reentko Dirks, Thomas Fellow, Pavel Steidl, and Zoran Dukić — for an inspiring and often hilarious conversation about music, instinct, and true musical connection. From the first notes to the last laugh, this is not a typical classical guitar talk — it’s a hands-on masterclass on how to think like a musician, master your instrument, and overcome the challenges on the road to becoming a great guitarist. 🎊 We dive into their journey to becoming “the Beatles of classical guitar” and explore why the guitar became a symbol of freedom for them. The interview is packed with unforgettable stories: being told “Stop! Don’t make music”, choosing between becoming a ballet dancer or a guitarist, glued nails before concerts, and completely losing it with laughter on stage 😄. Along the way, they share hard-earned insights on what beginners really need to learn and why the guitar should talk, sing, laugh, and cry. European Guitar Quartet are among the most celebrated guitar ensembles today, having performed in over 16 countries at legendary venues such as Concertgebouw Amsterdam and Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow. Blending classical tradition with world music, jazz, groove, and modern fingerstyle, they continue to redefine what concert guitar can be. This episode is for guitarists — and for anyone who believes music truly starts from within ✨.
