One + One 1 2 Pupil Part: Guitar: Instrumental Album

The Beginner Guitarist has been born out of 20 years of teaching experience. Although specifically designed as a teacher’s aid it can also be used for independent study.Topics like posture tuning andphrasing are not prescribed being left to the judgement of the teacher. With the exception of right and left-hand fingering advice this approach is used throughout the series. The entire series has the goal of being a measuredand progressive tutor. Ideas are usually introduced one at a time to avoid overloading the student.Book Two aims to build on solid right and left-hand techniques and covers further progress in notationrecognition. It begins with the introduction of quavers (eighth notes) and further focus on the free stroke (tirando). This is balanced with the need to keep the rest stroke (apoyando) solid by giving the pupil a chance to playboth melody and accompanying parts.Extensive exercises for finger 4 via chords and melody are included but the main aim is to complete the learning of the notes in first position taking in several scales and modes alongthe way. Simple open chords are also given further attention and the book concludes with coverage of chromaticism relating to the bottom three strings.A daily practice session for the completion of book two extrarepertoire and other helpful information are all available at www.thebeginnerguitarist.com.About the author: Nigel Tuffs is an instrumental teacher with more than 20 years of experience in all areas ofguitar teaching.

The most favourable qualities of shaping a fine artistic personality are combined in Andrés Batista: vocation sensibility technique and the honest and reserved disposition that has marked his excellent self-taught work. His mastery of the flamenco Guitar as a soloist enabled him to analyse the Guitar technique first intuitively and then with a serious musical background and to translate it in two ways: the tablature and the musical notation so that it is useful for Guitar players with a musical background as well as for those purely intuitive who use the tablature.The main goal of the Metodo De Guitarra Flamenca (Flamenco GuitarManual) is to furnish the pupil with the theoretical and practical knowledge of the different styles in flamenco playing through the adequate explanations and exercises. The method has been divided into three parts: Theory Technique and Practice. Pictures and detailed descriptions are included throughout in Spanish English and French.Even though the final aim of this method is to aid and teach Batista suggests that the advice of a competent teacher will help to avoid mistakes and will also stimulate a better understanding progress and study of the instrument.

In adapting Chopin?s masterful Nocturne No 2 for Guitar Francisco Tárrega simplified some sections while retaining the flavour style and delicacy of the original. It is a work of extreme difficulty for Guitarists and is just one of the many works by Chopin Mendelssohn Beethoven and others that Tárrega adapted.Modern proponents of serious Guitar may not know the debt they owe to Francisco Tárrega who began his performing and teaching career at a time when the Guitar was at a particularly low ebb in the late 1800?s. He studied Guitar and Piano and with the acquisition of an especially loud instrument by a luthier in Seville he launched a stage career following study atthe Madrid Conservatory. Through his tours and his pupils Tárrega influenced the popularity of the Guitar in the 20th century enormously.
