The guitar studies of Fernando Sor (1778-1839) have long been valued highly among the indispensable elements of a guitarist's training. A number of prominent virtuosi attribute a large portion of their development to the diligentstudy of these works. Sor's studies address an impressive array of technical and musical topics including proper left-hand fingering training of the right hand interval and chord formations scales arpeggios repeated notes ligados barring natural harmonics control of note duration balance of melody versus accompaniment and the handling of contrapuntal voices. A careful study of these pieces will lay the groundwork for a solid technique andallow the guitarist to build the control necessary for the expression of his or her musical concepts. In preparing this edition David Grimes worked with Sor's original publications but incorporated some alterations that appear inthose studies that Napoleon Coste chose to include in his Methode complete pour la Guitarre par Ferdinand Sor. Furthermore Mr. Grimes has corrected misprints modernized the notation and rectified some inconsistencies. Finally some developments in technique since Sor's day have been incorporated in this edition.

The studies of Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829) stand alongside those of Fernando Sor Matteo Carcassi Dionisio Aguado and Ferinando Carulli as the staples of the didactic pieces by the 'first generation' of classical guitarists. Giuliani was one of the most celebrated guitarists of his age a brilliant performer and prolific composer. He left a legacy of compositions and many of his works are heard regularly in recitals and concerts today. His studentpieces are considered indispensable by generations of guitarists. The studies and exercises contained in the six opus numbers here provide some of the most effective material in the entire guitar literature for building andrefining a superior technical command of the guitar. In this edition David Grimes has modernized some of the notation and corrected a number of misprints from Giuliani's original publications.

A collection of studies and compositions written to provide a creative approach to a common problem. Most guitar students have not worked through a methodical approach to reading music notation which limits their personalprogress and sometimes their career development. The author has approached the studies from two directions: horizontal or up the fingerboard on individual strings and positional. The first two parts of the book are extensivelyfingered and designed to make intervals and melodic patterns more visually apparent by repetition of similar ideas in different locations on the neck. The third part contains five extended compositions which draw from theauthor’s jazz background. The first four include chord changes for duo practice as well as challenging melodic lines in a variety of meters that may be used for the study of improvisation. The fifth piece is written in the IndianRaga style. Basic music theory and rhythmic studies are included in the appendices.
