Guitarist showing special self-confidence on road to Rome (7)
I believe the answer is:
segovia
'guitarist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'special self-confidence on road to rome' is the wordplay.
'special' becomes 'S' (common abbreviation as in Special Air Service).
'self confidence' becomes 'ego'.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'road to rome' becomes 'via' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
's'+'ego'+'via'='SEGOVIA'
'showing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for segovia that I've seen before include "Andres ------- classical guitarist: Spanish city" , "Ancient Spanish city: classical guitarist" , "Spanish town - guitarist" , "Town of Central Spain" .)
