classical guitarist
Acoustic plucking musician
A classical guitarist plays guitar in the tradition of Western art music, typically using a nylon-string acoustic guitar and fingerpicking technique rather than a pick.
The repertoire spans Renaissance lute transcriptions to contemporary compositions.
Classical guitarists read standard notation rather than tablature and often perform solo: She studied for years to become a classical guitarist.
