Classical Gas – Mason Williams - Cover

This is my rendition of La Tablatura’s guitar arrangement of "Classical Gas" by American guitarist Mason Williams. Williams released this instrumental composition in 1968 with backing by members of the Wrecking Crew. He has made several recordings and releases of Classical Gas throughout the decades. One of his later versions served as the title track of a 1987 album by Williams and the band Mannheim Steamroller. The original name of “Classical Gas” was “Classical Gasoline” because the music was seen as a fuel for the classical guitar repertoire. A publishing error shortened “Classical Gasoline” to “Classical Gas.” In 1969, Williams won three Grammy Awards for Classical Gas: Best Instrumental Composition, Best Contemporary-Pop Performance, Instrumental, and Best Instrumental Arrangement.
