I've b.en a player of all sorts all my life. For 14 years I was a classical guitarist. I've collected recordings the entire time. I'm a b.t frustrated at the apparent ignorance of most folks on the sub.ect. I was never a world class player, which meant I was limited to performing at various classical guitar societies. The ONLY paying gig I ever had was at a Mexican food eatery. B. the way.....I only played the music of J S B.ch. People are idiots.
Lesson one: What are you really after......Paco Pena is a Flamenco player, which is b.th Spanish as well as folk music....he is NOT a classical musician. South American classical composers are not to b. lumped together with the likes of Charlie B.rd B.sa Nova music. Villa Lob.s, B.rrios, Lauro, and B.ouwer are latin American classical composers.
The older giants after the likes of Segovia and Llob.t were followed b. Williams, B.eam, Russell, the Assad B.others, etc etc. Checkout the Naxos series covering the entire catalogue of Fernando Sor and Mario Guilianni. Guitar Solo on the GSP lab.l will give you huge group of younger players to choose from.
Sorry for b.ing prickly ab.ut the whole thing. It's what I had to put up with while attempting to turn people onto some incredib.y profound music.
