This album showcases the first five guitarists from the 18th century where the guitar had its beginning:
Mauro Giuliani, Matteo Carcassi, Dionisio Aguado, Ferdinando Carulli, and Fernando Sor.
I gave each composer five tracks.
If you are a guitarist from any genre, whether it be rock, blues , jazz, country or even classical, this recording captures the essence of the guitar at its beginning.
