I want to listen to some classical guitar in pandora but i can't think of a name? Anyone will do, preferably good. 😉
Sorry, can't name any good classical guitarists off the top of my head.

I agree.
He's one of the best classical guitarists that ever lived, if not [b]the best.[/b]
Bitetti is crap, compared with Segovia. But from the pure point of view from playing thechnique, something that not too many ppl can appreciate. (They only appreciate what they hear).
Segovia *was* the master.

Oscar Ghilia, segovia student. But the big guys have already been named. If you like Flamenco, try Sabicas and Manitas De Plata.
The best classical guitar duo EVER was Ida Presti and Alexander Lagoya. John Williams and Julian bream did an album as a tribute to them, called Julian and John but even though they are great guitarists on their own, they were not married like Ida and Alex. Those two played like one guitarist with four hands! Heartily recommended! If you can find them.
If you care to expand your tastes a bit, try some of the folk virtuosi,
like Martin Simpson, Rory Block, Duck Baker, Davy Graham, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Pierre Ben Susan. If you link to those they can lead to to others also.
They did a wonderful documentary with Segovia at his home in Granada about the history of guitar in his region. His thought on guitar and guitar making.. amazing man amazing art.. The main thing he believed was that the music itself must be in the performers blood.. mere technical brilliance wasn't enough. It made him great.
Today I like Manuel Barrueco.. maybe not the best ever but the music is in his blood. -
