One complex, gorgeous guitar-picking album: Jesse Sparhawks' "or Kestrel Expanded" (2018).
#^https://jessesparhawk.bandcamp.com/album/or-kestrel-expanded
This album enchants me with 28 mostly solo pieces. There is lots of fine work on nylon and steel strings, much beyond common worn-out harmonic structures, coming instead from a well-educated complex classical guitar place, and without ever getting theoretical. Lovely dynamic pieces in a mostly dry space. Jesse has completely avoided adding artificial spaces and similar exaggerations of reality into this, making this a private and pleasant listen, perfectly fitting this particularly timeless & relaxed day of the year. Enjoy.
If this isn't enough, then try Joe Ellis next: #^https://joeellisguitar.bandcamp.com/album/fallen-arches-and-other-unsupported-structures
