Best acoustical guitar - any type music

I might as well mention the other ones that had no equal. These were the greatest in thier day.
1) Julio-Martinez Oyanguren (Uraguay); Decca, Columbia 78s
2) Mario Escudero,; ABC Records
3) Los Romeros,; Mercury & Phillips
4) Dave Apollon (Mandolinist); Coral LPs, Decca 78s (The Heiftz of the instrument)
5) David Moreno; Capitol & Orfeon LP
6) Chet Atkins, RCA
Should any Guitar player have the good fortune of hearing these mostly forgotten artists, they would immidiately know they were in the presence of the Masters of the instrument
I once had a chance to see Los Romeros at Temple University, back in the early 70s (when music was important enough for Universitys to hold concerts). From that moment on, I viewed the guitar as the most difficult of instruments to master. It is clearly ,next to impossible today, to hear artistry at that level.........Frank
SD, You ever listen to any of these?

Ottmar Liebert- Borrasca
Paco Di Lucia, Al Demiola, John Mclaughlin - The guitat trio
Phil Keaggy - Acoustic sketches
If you fancy a little banjo try Bella Fleck - Acoustic planet

Good posts, my man! Honesty compels me to admit that some of the artists you listed were new to me -- just goes to show that there is always something to learn. I have heard of Vicente Gomez, but never heard his playing -- I'll try to remedy that soon. I am familiar with the Romeros, David Moreno, and Chet Atkins, but the others were new to me. Chet Atkins, although not known as an acoustic guitarist, has an eclectic group of recordings going back many years. One of the more relaxed and enjoyable recordings he did was with Mark Knopfler about 10 years ago. The two clearly had fun making the recording.

I had a chance to hear Andres Segovia in concert around 1957, not long before I discovered Charlie Byrd, and he was astounding. The other guitarist of comparable caliber, who I heard about 2 years ago in concert in Seattle, is Christopher Parkening. Parkening did a program dedicated to Andres Segovia, which included some wonderful anecdotes, rare personal photos, etc., of Segovia.

Parkening's parents own a home in Idaho on the Clearwater River, across the river from a friend of mine. I hope that during one of my visits to my friend in Idaho that I will have a chance to meet and talk with Parkening.

eric clapton unplugged, not the greatest recording but no one alive compares to clapton playing the guitar

I have just one to add - Joe Pass "I Remember Charlie Parker" on Pablo.
