This is a beautiful, tender and heartfelt, finger-style guitar solo (ballad), exactly as performed by The Candlelight Guitarist on the album "Sunflower Serenity." As with other Candlelight Guitarist pieces, it seamlessly blends romantic popular, folk, classical and jazz styles. Written in both standard notation and TAB, it's for a strong intermediate level finger-style player (budding-into-more advanced), comfortable playing up to 12th position, with capable finger-style abilities (either classical or strong folk technique).

Brad Powell is a talented and highly trained California guitarist and composer who calls himself "The Candlelight Guitarist", and for good reason. His music is perfect for situations in which candlelight figures prominently.

This volume brings together what is known of Aguado's life, and gives full details about the publication of his music. It also includes the full text of Jose Romanillos' article "Dionisio Aguado - the man". Also included are the following two publications: The Coleccion de Estudios of 1820, which contains 46 studies and an explanatory text. Aguado's earliest known work, it is the fruit of his intensive study of the guitar in Spain. It was previously thought lost and has only recently come to light. The Nuevo Metodo de Guitarra, opus 6, which is a much simpler method than the elaborate one which Aguado had previously published. It consists of 70 pages, with short musical passages and explanatory text. This is Volume 1 of the Complete Works of Dionisio Aguado.

Classical music and DADGAD tuning work amazingly well together, as Rob MacKillop's book shows. You might be surprised how easy it is to play tunes by Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky and others on the steel-strung acoustic guitar. These brilliant arrangements start easy, then gradually progress to intermediate levels. While full of great tunes, this book will also do wonders for your technique - it includes a technique primer and exercises. By the end of this book you will be playing an entire suite by Bach! The downloadable online audio includes all the pieces in the book, performed by Rob MacKillop. Access to downloadable audio.
