La la la

The Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and then 20th century are the periods for classical guitar composers. And what do you know, all of my favorite are in the Classical period?? That would be from 1751 to 1825. Here's a list of my favorite composers, well the ones I enjoy playing the most. Its biased because my guitar teacher is the one who used to chose my pieces, and so now I tend to turn towards these guys:

-Ludwig van Beethoven (Dont play much, but well its talent, so you have to have some respect)
-Ferdinando Carulli (Carulli composed some great pieces, like his Ten Preludes. Its repetitive, but so fun)
-Fernando Sor
-Mateo Carcassi

So if any one has any other composers that have amazing music and that's fun to play, let me know. Because i am finally re-united with my baby, my guitar, (not my classical) and need some new music to learn.

Typing of my guitar, no matter how hard you try to play moonlight sonata on an electric, it will never be the same on a classical ( or better yet, a piano).
