[edit] Confusing section layout

This article needs clarification of the distinction between the sections, especially the two "Romantic" sections and the "Viheula" section which needs to be more explicitly indicated as being part of the Renaissance era. Also, the difference between the modern/contemporary/21st century composers is unclear. This possibly needs an expert who can differentiate the music of these eras. --Ray thejake 04:26, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

There is no list of "classical era" composers.

I didn't notice any mention with respect to the Baroque composers that the guitar either didn't exist as we now see it or at best (and I'm really just leaving open the possiblity, I don't think there was "guitar" in the Baroque era, Lute, Vihuella but I don't think any guitars).

The early romantic list is full of people that didn't write for the guitar and any transcriptions done for guitar of their music should be listed by the arranger and his era.

The romantic list contains a lot of guitarists, some that might better be considered "classical".

Basically it should look more in line with the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_guitarists page as that is more accurate.

This is my first time posting on this wiki thing, I'm no expert on the ways or customs of wiki but I know a little about guitar (no expert either); so if this isn't how I'm supposed to make these comments or if these comments aren't all that useful, please accept my apologies.

[edit] Why don't you have a go? I'm sure you could only improve it.

I suppose that what would be really useful to people who want to study guitar would be a list of lute pieces that are now mainly played on guitar - a link to reasonable arrangements and tabs would also be fantastic.

ps I was disappointed not to find Sylvius Leopold Weiss mentioned anywhere
