    I do not believe that it is possible to create such rankings based on objective reasons - i.e. independent of personal preferences. All the guitarists mentioned belong or belonged to the top of their profession in their time, but so many are missing (e.g. Lagoya, Presti, P. Romero, Lislevand, Russel, the South Americans also have brilliant performers, etc.). All these world-class guitarists are so closely related in terms of their abilities and musical expressiveness that differences between them cannot be objectified.

    I've seen Williams, Russell, and many others in concert, but for me the most impressive I've seen live is Pepe Romero. HIs playing is as technically proficient as any other player, but for me, he puts more soul into his interpretation than any other.Even in his 70's his playing is second-to-none. Of-course, your choice of music and musicians is always a personal one., so we all have our own list of the GOATs.

    I would include Ida Presti in any list of top players of 1930 to date. I am not alone in this. I was fortunate to hear the top five on your list. I heard Barrueco when he was 15 and studying with another virtuoso in Miami, Juan Mercadal.Year later I "studied" with him, meaning that I performed one piece for him in a tiny "master class" at Belmont Univ. I think Barrueco is one of the top players ever. I spent about a day with Yepes. He was a great person and definitely a virtuoso. he volunteered to give a couple of hour long private lesson in a short time. I learned a lot. However I do not consider him to be one of the greatest of all time.

    • @seankasabuske1986
      @seankasabuske1986 11 місяців тому +1

      I agree about Ida Presti. I've heard that Segovia once said that there was nothing he could teach her, which he meant in the positive sense that her technique and musicality were complete.

  • @2011Noud
    @2011Noud 8 місяців тому +1

    To be honest I wouldn't dare to make a proper list and indeed: Do you have to include the temporarily
    guitar players both male and female? I would have made the list even bigger without giving a ranking.
    Therefore I missed Roland Dyens, Abel Carlevaro and Augustin Barrios and by going outside the
    boundaries I made, I certainly would not forget Celil Refik Kaya who brought technique together with
    musicality to another level. But you're right in a sense that every next generation will have their profits
    from what pioniers of the last century already did on their instruments.

    Los dos más grandes guitarristas que ha visto el mundo, por mucho, son Julian Bream y John Williams.
    Después de ellos hay muchos excelentes guitarristas.
    Segovia fue importante por haber inspirado a varios compositores a escribir para la guitarra y por consiguiente tuvo el gran mérito de hacer crecer la guitarra como instrumento de concierto, pero como intérprete, aunque brilló en su tiempo, hay varias decenas de guitarristas que lo superan. No debemos confundirnos.

I used to love all the guitarists you mentioned, but since I saw this documentary on Greek blues music... ua-cam.com/video/GDUua2g8_yk/v-deo.html it changed my musical path forever. I no longer play classical guitar repertoire or listen to anything remotely close to classical European tradition. For me, music is for the people. I now love the guitar again.
