Well, this guys have different techniques but, my favorite is Bernd Steidl. His new album "Paganiniana" is mind blowing, its even better than the first one "Acoustic Psychedellic Overture" and he sounds even better than Paco de Lucia, McLaughlin and DiMeola  together

If you are talking about the flamenco guitarist Sabicas, my vote will go for him...Paco De lucia in second place...Clapton is very very fare behind them, he just doesn't know how to use his fingers on an acoustic guitar

Sabicas , one of the masters of acoustic guitar!!!

From this list, Paco de Lucía is way ahead everyone, don't understand the mention of Erick Clapton, who is not even in the level of Steve Hackett.

BTW, Why isn't Hackett in the list, has anyone ever heard Midsummer Night Dream?

I really like Paco de Lucía too. We owe the flamenco's actual status to him, before Paco it was still understimated even in spain, they wont show flamenco in the royal theater!.

But.. I must insist with the other guy

From the list Steve Howe.

My preferred choice would be Stephen Caudel.

Leo Kottke. Amazing guitarist, smart and funny on stage too. Hedges is another favorite, John WIlliams, Montoya, Leadbelly...

And don't forget Esteban!

I hate this album, very amateur and poppy...Clapton belongs to these artists who play with their popularity to make third rate albums!! Moreover he just dosen't know how to play with an acoustic guitar.

Out of this list, Paco gets my vote.

My fave acoustic guitarist; Michael Hedges (RIP).
