anyone else really like guitar music?

[Doctor_J]

I really, really love guitar music, regardless of genre - Klugh & Liebert, Jerry Reed & Albert Lee, Clapton & Cray, Benson & Vaughan, Parkening & Segovias, Atkins & Gill. Anyone else?

2. Ever hear Ottmar Liebert?

I love his Nouveau Flamenco. Got it on cassette before it was out on CD. Got CD for my sister. Need to get CD for me! Wonderful stuff.

Doug Neidt, Manitas del Plata, Frank Zappa, Robert Fripp, Steve Howe, Narciso Ypes, Julian Bream, Trey Anastasio, Carlos Santana, Mahivishnu Mc Laughlin, John Fahey, Randy California, Ry Cooder, Adrian Bellew, and the amazing Lowell George.

6. We have a set of CD's "The Magic of..." and they are the Guitar,

the Violin, and the Piano...and my favorite by far is the "Magic of the Guitar". Complete agreement here. :hi:

7. See if you can find a recording of any of the following--

Joaqin Rodrigo -- Concierto Aranjuez -Fantasia para un Gentilhombre
Hector Villa Lobos -- Guitar Concerto #2 -- etudes.
Fernando Sor -- 20 studies
Paganini -- Grand Sonata for Guitar and Violin in A

There are so many good works for guitar, but these constitute
a wonderful core library.
