My newly treated room has me listening to a lot of music lately, and I thought I'd try something new. The Playstation 3 Youtube App is excellent in that it's full screen and high definition, type in a topic and get high quality playback.

Anyway I spent all the early morning and on into the afternoon listening to the apparently endless material for Segovia, and it's quite a nice sound, his playing. Never really ever listened to solo acoustic guitar because most acoustic guitar music that I'm familiar with is just strummed chords. But he's plays brilliantly.

Any recommendations for 3 or 4 of his best albums?

Try Turíbio Santos playing the Choros of Villa-Lobos for solo a-guitar:

This item above seems hard to find, so try this BIS with the same repertoire:

Hmm. That's not him though is it?

I fiind Segovia highly over-rated.  Try out this guy:

Lots of youtube vids on the site.

Thanks I will. As nice as it sounds (listening again), it's all beginning to mush together and sound like random noodling.

Interesting as I have been listening to this one lately
