John Fahey is another real master of the acoustic guitar, and a lot of his work has been reissued recently - try The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death.

Eric Clapton Unplugged is beneath contempt .

great guitarists  When you talk about Montoya do you mean Ramon or Carlos Montoya?

Carlos, but the little I've heard of Ramon definitely makes him a contender! I'm a big fan of flamenco. One of the reasons why I love Mezquita.

Can't believe i'm the first to vote for McLaughlin. His playing with Miles Davis
is amazing, especially on In A Silent Way.

I have heard neither Steidl nor Sabicas... but of those mentioned here I do know De Lucia very much seems to be the best. And yeah, where are Django, Lagrene, Williams, Hackett, Fisk and many others...?

i won't vote on this poll because the only players i know from the list are McLaughlin, Steve Howe and Eric Clapton and it was obvious from the beginning that Howe would win because he the most popular one (at least in this forum)
however - my choice out of those three would be John McLaughlin

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.

uhhhh ok?

Al Dimeola by far! But wheres John Williams (the classical guitarist not the composer) or Julian Bream, Steve Hackett?

Maybe you choose Howe, because he`s the proggiest of them....and of course he`s a god with his acoustic guitar

but i vote for Paco De Lucia .. he`s awesome
