    Hello Azraelwave,
    i suppose the answers are these:

    1) George Van Eps : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Van_Eps
    2) Johann Sebastian Bach - he was not a classic guitar player, HE WAS GOD! : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Sebastian_Bach
    and the book Kurt is speaking is this one : http://www.amazon.com/Lute-Suites-Guitar-Classical/dp/0825699797

    All the Best

    It has to be George van eps . He has a series of books called harmonic mechanisms ( volumes 1,2&3). These are very comprehensive and dense books with very specific ways of voicing , fingering and picking through various harmonic and contrapunctal excercises. Kurt referred to them as " telephone books " in one interview. Just playing a measure of these books is worth it . They are around $40 USD each. When I bought one of mine, the guy said Paco delucia flipped through one and bought all 3 the next second. They are great!

    The Ted Greene stuff is amazing. As well as the Jimmy Wyble books. I have Art of Two- Line Improv and it's really great. But I found this book
    very intriguing as well.

    Concepts for classical and jazz guitar by Jimmy Wyble and Rob Berman

    http://www.amazon.com/Concepts-Classical-Jazz-Guitar-Book/dp/0786643994/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1303235017&sr=1-3

    Great chord voicings , arpeggio, and two line ideas. Really recommend it!

    Kurt uses Fender Extra Heavy? I thought he used Dunlop Jazztone 207

    Kurt used Dunlop Jazztone 207 but he now uses a white pick (so maybe a Fender Extra Heavy)

    The classical concepts for jazz is a great book. That one idea that gets turned into several pages worth of lines is super cool. It consists of sequencing 13th ( no 5th chords ) all over. From low to high play ( 1 note per string ): F,C,E,B,D,A... So, 11,root,3rd,7th,9th,13th...or think of it like playing a 5th then a 3rd off the higher note and repeating.it feels like a more modern and spacious approach to these chords. You can run that template up the neck diatonically for major, melodic minor and harmonic minor and see how things shift. The other book felt like a static ballet and I dont remember being able to walk away with anything that dudnt feel static ; like someone would just say " oh, nice. I have that book ". The van eps is strict but leaves ir open as far as how you can generate the counterpoint. I'm going to incorporate a new book on just counterpoint that looks doable for guitar in my reading rotation. So Many things . It feels inspiring and I'm rotatiby though things that focus differen aspects. Taking poparad's advice on the longhaul rather than binge obsessing on one little piece of minutae.
