- Andres Segovia Twenty Studies by Fernando Sor $8.95 These work so well because they train the player with all the different rhythmic timings and dynamics of melody and it's accompaniment.
Fernando Sor 20 Estudios Study Guide by David Tanenbaum 65 pages $19.95 Published in 1991 by world renowned recording artist and professor of guitar at the Conservatory of San Francisco. It appeared to me only a few years ago as to the value of the Sor Studies (I've played these for 20 years) and why they work. Unlike any other grouping of formative pieces here is the crux of value. It simply is that within this text of works one learns how to deal with every rhythmic variation of melody and accompaniment (1/4 notes mel. w/ 1/16 notes acc., 1/2 notes mel. w/ 1/8 notes acc.,etc.). David's expertise is much more astute than mine, at the price of a single guitar lesson.The CD that contains these works is available, see the page at:
