I was, of course, being sarcastic.
I'm there with you. I think this is a bad decision that only succeeds in people patting themselves as they take the classical guitar to an ivory tower to fawn over.
It's stupid.
We're not the piano, or violin. Hell, we're not even the Cello. We don't have an immense repetoire written by hugely talented composers. Like I said earlier the classical guitar does not have the repetoire nor the following to be snobby about what they play or talk about.
Don't agree with me? Look at all the important guitarists out there. After recording the "staples" eventually they all went to non-traditional classical guitar music.
Look at LAGQ, they're essentially the perfect example of this. They did about 3 or 4 albums of classical music but then the rest of their stuff is non-traditional like this: http://www.amazon.com/Lagq-Los-Angeles-Guitar-Quartet/dp/B000EGDB9M/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1416282276&sr=8-11&keywords=lagq
Christopher Parkening did a few cds of church music

Sharon Isbin, chair of the guitar department at Juliard which by rights should be all about the Ivory Tower has several recordings of non-traditional classical music

Even beloved John Williams would not be up for posting under these rules

In essence nearly every important classical guitarist would come here and be told to go somewhere else. I guess this reddit knows more about classical guitar than these guys and girls.
