The best acoustic guitar recordings??

Jerry Garcia and Dave Grisman "So What"....
an incredible acoustic set of Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" album, transcribed for guitar and mandolin. It's really good stuff.

This one features solid (if unremarkable) SQ, but insane playing:

Tommy Emmanuel "Little By Little"

Sorry, the Gismonti recording I had in mind is "Magico" with a Haden composition called 'Silence'.

Chet Atkins & Jerry Reed - "Me & Jerry"/"Me & Chet". Two early out-of-print 70's instrumental albums re-released in '09 by Raven Records out of Australia on one CD plus bonus tracks. Great sound quality & great pickin' - highly recommended.

Manuel Barrueco ‎– Works For Guitar By Albeniz & Granados

This is the best classical guitar LP I can think of. Amazing performance, and the guitar sounds like a guitar. This LP generated a huge amount of excitement in the classical guitar world when it came out.

This is available on CD as well in the very affordable 3 CD set titled 300 Years of Guitar Masterpieces
