The guitar lessons of Julio Sagreras are among the most universally used collections of guitar music and represent a milestone in didactic guitar literature. This book, which includes the first three volumes of the original six-volume series, is an ideal introduction to classical guitar playing as well as to Latin American guitar music. Text written in English and Spanish with French and German translations in an appendix at the back of the book.
I have to admit that I didn’t get through every exercise in the book before becoming distracted by other musical instruments in my possession (I think I stopped about midway through the second book), but the exercises I did make it through were all fantastic. I’m not sure there is another guitar studies book with more beautiful melodies than this one.
