Five Preludes For Guitar

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. They are not easy to play but equally not insurmountable with a good basic technique. If in doubt you will find all the techniques you need in my book The Art Of Accompaniment On The Guitar. I have given considerable technical guidance both in fingering and the use of different strings as these pieces are intended to be instructional.
