The Steve Howe renditions here are interesting - clearly some excellent musicianship. One of the posted videos led to a recording from the Bach "Wachet Auf" and that rendition was very well done. On the other hand, the posted Villa Lobos "Aria" was sadly lacking due to his liberties - or negligence - regarding important rhythmic features and some alteration of the composer's melodic lines.
And, the Vivaldi piece was rhythmically disjointed to the point where the driving force of the original music is lost. That is a very difficult piece to translate to performance by solo guitar and I would give him an "A" for effort, courage and general technique. However, good musical judgment sometimes means not doing a certain piece if it will not receive musical justice in its proper style.
