Craig, try Googling Bila Fleck sometime. He plays the banjo, and has 
done quite a bit of classical stuff over the years with it. 

As someone who "plays at" being a guitar player myself, I know just 
how you feel when someone casually picks up a guitar and does 
wondrous things with it. More than once I've considered consigning my 
guitar to a campfire as a sacrificial offering.
