Gotta be Paco de Lucia right?
Here's a CSB about Paco de Lucia. My son and I are both guitarists, and we got tickets to see Tommy Emmanuel at the Napa Valley Opera House some years ago. We also got tickets to the meet and greet with Tommy before the show. My son said to Tommy, "I'm a big fan. I think you're the greatest guitarist in the world." Tommy replied, "Thank you, but I'm not the greatest guitarist in the world. I do know who is, though." Intrigued, I asked him who it was. His answer: Paco de Lucia.

Need to queue up my copy of Friday Night in San Francisco. What a classic guitar record that is.

I had the privilege of seeing Paco de Lucia with Al Dimeola, and John Mclaughlin either 1980 or 81 in Houston.

Paco de Lucia

Broke the jangly, jagged, over the top playing that Segovia was referring to.

Paco De Lucía has some amazing classical work, wherein he'd previously simply said 'Im not familiar with this, give me a few days', and then proceeds to master it.

I believe he plays Concierto de Aranjuéz with a full philharmonic, and brings the house down.

I'll search for it.
