. . . and pretty much anything David Lindley plays on. |

Location: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada | Slap, if the category is restricted to guitar solo recording (i.e., guitar only), my favourites tend to reside in the acoustic realm. One piece I've always loved is "Aerial Boundaries" by the late Michael Hedges. I also like the songs on the album "Slow Circle," by Alex de Grassi. |

I found it.
"John Williams (guitarist)
John Christopher Williams (born 1941) is one of the world's greatest classical guitarists. He was born in Melbourne, Australia and was taught initially by his father. At the age of twelve he went to Italy to study under Andrés Segovia. Later, he attended the Royal College of Music in London.
Williams is best known as a classical guitarist, but has explored many different musical traditions. He has collaborated with Julian Bream and Paco Pena and was a member of the fusion group Sky. He is also a composer and arranger (but shouldn't be confused with the American composer, John Williams).
He enjoyed a worldwide hit single with his recording of Cavatina, the theme tune to the Oscar-winning film, The Deer Hunter." |

William's guitar just sets the tone and IMHO gells the movie |
