You’ll just have to put up with the nitpicking-LOL. The name of the founder of modern classical guitar technique is Andrés Segovia

Or more completely, Andrés Segovia Torres, Marqués de Salobreña. Spanish people do love their long names.

Which isn’t surprising since so many of them are engineers, programmers, IT people etc.

They need to train their creative, spontaneous side and move beyond IF > THEN > ELSE thinking.
