For the first time this edition presents work for Guitar solo and for Guitar duet by Graciano Tarragó grouped into different collections. Despite the fact that the composer published the set of works separately (with the exception of the collections of studies and the Catalan Christmas songs) it is not difficult to see that a natural classification surges from its formal structure from its source of inspiration and from its intent upon observing the works as a whole.The main objective of this revision was to update its presentation to meet the demands of the Guitar world today and to offer scores that ease the introduction to the study of this copious collectionof works. The works hold an indisputable musical beauty and demand technical virtuosic knowledge of the highest level.

Scales and Arpeggios-This in-depth scale and arpeggio text is core curriculum at the University of Southern California's Studio Guitar Department which is part of the prestigious Flora L. Thornton School of Music located in Los Angeles California. Using a comprehensive approach that includes three different organizational systems it covers the technical foundation that is necessary for playing any style of music. The CAGED system (five positions) the FingerStretch system (all twelve keys in one position) and the Three-Note Per String system (seven patterns) are examined. Although each of these three systems is examined the CAGED system serves as the basis for much of the materialcovered in this book.Instead of traditional musical notation the book uses fingerboard diagrams to focus on the visual aspect of the patterns. The goal is to present an approach to understanding and mastering thefingerboard by outlining the best and most practical elements of these different systems. Book One presents patterns for the major scale and its relative modes the major pentatonic scale the minor pentatonic scale and the bluesscale. Along with these scale forms patterns for arpeggios that are for the most part diatonic to (in the key of) the major scale are presented. These include major minor diminished and augmented triads and also major 7 dominant 7 minor 7 minor 7(ó5) and diminished 7 chords.
