   More details below on CDs containing recordings of songs from the 3 books, as well as a complete listing of all titles of Vols. 1-3.

   Those not familiar with Guillermo Gomez perhaps would be interested to know his best student Francisco Salinas began his tenure as professor at the National Conservatory of Music in Mexico City in 1935. Guillermo Gomez was born in Malaga, Spain in 1880. He played flamenco in his youth, but when he saw Francisco Tarrega play in Sevilla in 1897 he was inspired to begin classical guitar as well as redouble his efforts with flamenco. Guillermo Gomez immigrated to Mexico in 1900 and in 1904 wrote his Suite Andaluza which he performed with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in 1929, the year after he had recorded at least 14 songs for Columbia Records. His Flamenco Guitar Solos predate those of Don Ramon Montoya by not less than 8 years.
Now there is a CD with many songs (10) of Guillermo Gomez that are in my G. Gomez publications. The CD is called "Segovia & his Contemporaries" Vol. II Guillermo Gomez & Andres Segovia.
