Solo Guitar - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1189647 Composed by Simon James. Classical,Contemporary,Instructional. Individual part. 5 pages. DML #789280. Published by DML (A0.1189647). These short Preludes for guitar are intended to illustrate a particular technical point or points. It may be either technical or compositional or both and I would have to say that I have been influenced by Tarrega’s Preludes which he wrote mostly for his students and so have called them Preludes rather than Studies. I learnt Tarrega’s pieces such as Adelita and Lagrima early in my study of the guitar and always enjoyed their nature as both technical exercises but also performance pieces. I have tried to emulate that with these pieces. This Prelude is based on the use of thirds and sixths on the guitar. These intervals are the easiest to play on guitar and the sweetest sounding though they can still be used dramatically as in this work. The middle section, or B section if you prefer, uses chords with dissonance built into the chord shape and which are also not too difficult to play.

Solo Guitar - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.941926 Composed by Matteo Carcassi. Arranged by Cristiano Sousa. Classical,Concert,Instructional,Standards. Individual part. 2 pages. Cristiano Sousa #6444017. Published by Cristiano Sousa (A0.941926).     Study n°2 (Moderato con Espressivo) is focused arppeggiation. To left hand, the main concern is centered on the connection between the chords. There is little room for alternative fingerings because attention is focused on the right hand. In it, a fixed typing in p-i-m-a-m-i-m-i is reiterated throughout the piece.    This edition DOES NOT feature detailled fingerings, being useful as blank material for scratches.    You can contact me at cristiano.sousa.santos@gmail.com

Solo Guitar - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1251016 By Donald B. Miller. By Donald B. Miller. Instructional. Individual part. 96 pages. Donald Miller Music #845311. Published by Donald Miller Music (A0.1251016). Why is it of paramount importance to approach guitar reading tech- nique by working from the lower strings upward rather than from the top string downward? There are many reasons, but two of the most important ones are that chords are built vertically, from the bottom up, and that the lower notes frequently determine the exact fret( s) for these upper and mid- dle neck areas. Therefore this book is based on the only natural approach to guitar reading: from lower strings upward. And it should be noted that this method has met with 100 percent success, whether with students who are beginning non-readers or those who have studied the instrument but read poorly or not at all.

Solo Guitar - Digital Download SKU: A0.899137 Composed by Giulio Regondi. Arranged by Rod Whittle. Romantic Period. Individual part. 4 pages. Maggie Creek Music #4349081. Published by Maggie Creek Music (A0.899137). for solo classical guitar (tremolo)   4 pp  (7 min.)GIULIO REGONDI  (1823 - 72) Regondi was born in Switzerland, but lived in France and, mostly, the United Kingdom. He was a child prodigy of the guitar, with Fenando Sor dedicating a piece to him when he was just nine. He composed for the guitar and also the concertina. His works for solo guitar comprise etudes, a set of variations and some larger compositions. The tremolo section of the Nocturne (op.19) - subtitled 'Reverie' – must be some of the most wonderful music written for tremolo guitar. In the Nocturne it is split between sections of different style and content, but its effectiveness as a piece is fully satisfied without these interspersed parts, nice as they are, and its persuasive theme quite naturally repeats to end with a superb coda (which also finishes the actual Nocturne). The original score has no dynamics except for the end, and I have not added any. However, the piece is impossible to play without inferring some loudness, tempo and accentuation changes. There is that Romantic period element to it. I have added fingering. I like to settle into a barre position where possible – it often lets the bass accompaniment ring through (e.g. the D in the first few bars) and simplifies the playing. But it hardly needs saying that fingering, helpful if it is good, is a kind of curse if it is bad or just wrong, and it is never mandatory. It is always instructive with tremolo pieces to first play some of the top line (e.g. of the first few bars) without tremolo to properly reveal its melody. The style needs plenty of practice to achieve fidelity to this musical meaning; that is always the aim. Then listen carefully as the lower part is added. The bass is very important, as mentioned, but the harmonies of the broken chords are vital too. The Nocturne is brilliant counterpoint.

Individual part. 1 pages. Christopher J. Malin #899378. Published by Christopher J. Malin (A0.1310263). Solo jazz guitar chord/melody arrangement with tablature. Seldom heard standard in this style. Beautiful, instantly recognizable melody. One of Bart Howard's finer pieces. He's from Iowa! This piece makes you stand out as a solo jazz guitarist of all idioms. Some chords are played as triads or dyads or eliminated, and single notes are used. I draw a line over the note if it's the high note of a chord or I use a dot if it's played as a single note, the chord is then in parentheses. I tend to use a minimalist style that keeps the important parts of the music. There are many arrangements of this song. Give mine a go, it's a bit different.  Sounds great on acoustic and electric guitars.
