Please post your favorite classical guitar artists, this music is just so great for the soul!
Also if you play some classical guitar, post a video of you playing a song!

This is Antoine Dufour, from Quebec. He's now one of the best Candy Rat's artists.



And obviously Andy Mckee (Damn he looks like Gman), also one of their bests.

None of that is really "classical" in the sense of paganini or bach or whatnot, but it is really good folk fingerstyle. This guy's name is Phil Keaggy and has been around a while. One of the best guitarists I know of (even Hendrix said this guy was the best, apparently). Here are some vids to please your earpussies:

When I'm talkin' about classical guitar artists, is for what they play, they play on a classical guitar, which is way different than an accoustic guitar, that's just why, I know it's not classical music.

Alright, I see your point, kemosabe. Although, the people in those vids you posted weren't playing classical guitars.

Classical guitar:

You're right, they both play on acoustic guitar in both videos, but I've seen em both live, and they play most of the whole show on a classical guitar. Nice observation though

My dude JB plays on several acoustic guitars and on occasion plays on a classical guitar. For his best acoustic piece, that fits with the other posts however, is always played on a Maton 12 String. Below are a couple different versions to song "Ocean". This is his only acoustic instrumental. Of course check out all of his music. One amazing guitarist making history.

They are all F*CKING AMAZING. After listening to every one of these, I had to go download a bunch of it for some peacefull music at work :). Thanks guys! Keep em coming lol.

But I have to say. My favorite out of them so far is John Butler - Ocean. It makes me feel so calm, but at the same time get's the blood pumpin cuz he's to good haha.

Wow. Good thread.

Eduardo Diaz plays Mozart "Rondo Alla Turca" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LawYl2o ... re=related. Classical Guitar J.S. Bach Prelude http://www.youtube.com/user/lalodiaz#p/u/25/MypDzCM05Xo

One of the greatest guitarists of ALL TIME: Steve Morse from the Dixie Dregs.

And dont forget Deep Purple also.

My co worker told me to look up Stanley Jordan. I've never heard him play. Some of you probably have, but these are the first 3 I watched and he's pretty damn good.

This is Savatage...A band my dad which was a drummer for Halifax used to be good friends and play with. This video is all about Criss Oliva(now deceased), brother of Jon Oliva who helped found Trans Siberian Orchestra with Paul O'Neill.

Check out these solo's...Might open your eyes to some new classic rock:


Check out queensryche too.

And, you already know...Dimebag bitches!

None of those links work, Caniboid. And Mindless.... LOL, how are those classical/acoustic songs? I love Dimebag, and Floods is one of my favorite Pantera songs, but COMEON!

Shit, I wonder what happened to them. They worked when I posted it. Oh well, it's not accoustic anyways. Just a good guitarist.
