Anything SRV put out is worth buying.If you want to get one of his that has a bit of everything go with The Essential SRV.All of the dvds are good so just pick one.

The Family Style disc seems to have been nicely recorded/mastered. Some of the older discs, while great, show the age of the recording.
The Live at the El Mocambo DVD is far and away my favorite SRV DVD.
Other guitarists?:
Scott Henderson
Ottmar Liebert
Chet Atkins
Jeff Golub
Jeff Beck
Melvin Taylor
Dick Dale
Teddy Morgan
Freddie King
Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown
Al Dimeola...
Anybody else?

Now there you go.
Haven't really listened to classical guitar since college.
Specific recommendations, John? (I have told you how much I love that Maurice Andre, right? Especially disc 2. Perfect.).

Sure, Mark. I think that the melodies and rhythms of spanish music are especially suited to the solo guitar and my suggestion for an outstanding bargain to start with is the disc by John Williams . For a broader selection of music by a cross section of classical guitar artists this "Essential Guitar" set is hard to beat.

Thank you all for your insight. It is nice to have such a handy resource as this forum to help maximize my satisfaction when purchasing new music. I don't know how many times I have purchased CDs and found the songs were good, the performance was good, but the recording was lousy! It helps to get opinions of others who have already listened to the CDs and DVDs before buying.
