  5. He has a great classical style and this is one of the first artist i have seen perform in classical posture. He also carries a very strong melody and has great note transition.

  6. I enjoy Andrew York, his emphesis on how he plays his notes really demonstrates his passion for playing the classical guitar. You can just see how much pleasure he is having playing his instrument. He has amazing classical stance, and he proves that he knows how to exagerate notes to play a pleasent melody. He transitions between notes smoothly.
