Classical free will=libertarian contra-causal free will that requires oneself to be causa sui. An incoherent concept. As opposed to the compatabilist conception of free will which is perfectly logically coherent but also perfectly compatible with determinism because it's a trivially true labelling of ordinary willpower that addresses a non-question and non-problem instead of the problem of free will versus determinism which is a very real problem with a very real answer (the answer is that the kind of free will most people believe in doesn't exist. That's a problem for many people. Perhaps it shouldn't be... but labelling what they do have as "free will" doesn't actually do anything. That's just a label (It's like looking at something other than subjective experience and labelling it "consciousness" )).
