I play classical and recently i've found myself going back to it and enjoying playing - but I have to agree that I don't enjoy listening to a cd or going to a classical gig (they seem to call it a recital which is maybe where they are going wrong!). Funny really.
But as something to play with great melodies and technically challenging, for solo playing it is great.
I didn't think that Asturias (leyenda) is a student piece either - it is at least grade 8 and a barstuard to play well.

Check out Edgar Cruz.
In addition to being a master at classical and flamenco styles, he likes to interpret classic rock songs performed "classically"
He's outstanding.
Nice, Cheers

Edgar Cruz??
NO, Steve Hackett is yer man for classical AND rock, He doesn't do classical versions of classic rock songs (that's a bit 'Richard Clayderman' , in other words tacky shit) but playing both classical guitar and doing his own awesome rock tunes!!

Really like most of the Francisco Tarrega studies I have heard like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hsp6dR-fL4A
Matteo Carcassi, Fernando Sor & Mauro Giuliani are some names I remember from old GT mags, worth a look if you wanna hear some different stuff.
Come around to mine. Bring beer, drugs and blank CDs. Let the education begin.

Bach usually appeals to guitarists and this piece builds in intensity so you need to stick with it. If there is anyone on this forum who play this then I doff my cap to you.

corrected for accuracy. I like them but what they do, certianly technique wise, has more in common with Jazz (him, he's obviously spent a lot of time working on Al Di Meola licks) and Flamenco (her). Try Narciso Yepes recordings of Aranjuez for classical guitar.Originally Posted by verymetal
Nylon strings are awesome things, especially for single note lead stuff.
