I thought that I read  that someone else did it.

Um Im actually fairly sure he didn't actually.

 My vote away goes for the end section of The Ancient but if I'm allowed (coz it's a classical guitar piece played on an electric guitar) he middle section of Soundchaser (both Steve Howe)

I was born in Andalucia, too, my friend, more specifically, Cádiz. I currently reside in Lima since 1986, but I spent the first 18 years of my life in that little Andalusian town.

Hey, so the famous (at least in prog fans circles) Cesar Inca has somthing in common with me!. Now I know of three Cadiz (province) born prog lovers: you, me and 'Engel', a guy who released a good Oldfieldish CD a couple of years ago.  Sadly, never heard of more!.

I actually went with Is There Anybody Out There? I love Mood for a Day, but the first time I heard Is There Anybody Out There? I got chills. I love it.

Yes.. Gilmour really played guitar on ITAOT... geez

And we all know how I feel about Gilmour..(and I'm certain you know how I feel about Greg Lake) but my favorite classical guitar solo is the acoustic solo by Greg on "Memoirs of an Officer and Gentleman".. "Love at First Sight".  You have to hear it to see what I mean.. with Keith's acoustic piano that comes in with him... its a melter!!

THIS IS ELP

Anyway, my vote goes for Hackett's 'Blood on the Rooftops', which I find to be just magical. I love that autumnal mood of the song. A pity he didn't play it in an acoustic live show I attended to last week.

My vote goes for the intr oto "Blood". But again, "Mood for a Day" was originally played on a Flamenco guitar (it also has nylon strings) and "Horizons" was originally recorded on a steel string acoustic guitar (therefore, not classical).

Of the list I'll go with Hackett Horizon, but I think Classical gas from Jan Akkerman is absolutely amazing !!

I probably missed a bunch, but this is off the top of my head.
