I'm a classical guitarist, rather than a "musician." I'm lousy with theory, harmony, accompanyment, ensemble, improvisation, etc. For me, classical guitar music is often simpler than other kinds of classical music. Perhaps you'll find Segoiva or some other classical guitarist easier to listen to than some other isntrumentalist or orchestra.
