I am looking for any suggestions of artists that play spanish style guitar..not Flamenco necessarily but a slow acoustic style without all the speed. Any thought are appreciated.

The great Spanish guitarist, Andres Segovia.........get his Bach transcriptions.

Jesse Cook - Sort of a smooth jazz-type flamenco guitarist. Lot's of good mellow stuff with some upbeat stuff also.
Govi - Very mellow and new agey guitarist. Different albums have different sounds. A couple are very flamenco influenced while another has sitars and is influenced by the Far East. They're all very good and I'm sure you'd like them all.
Paco de Lucia - Traditional flamenco guitarist from Spain. Some very nice mellow stuff mixed in with the more traditional stuff.

I downloaded the Bach album by Segovia at Audiolunchbox for $9.99 and it is a great disk. Thank you for the suggestions. I am gonna try the others if I can find them.
