Sona
ta No. 6 Kharkiv for
guitar solo was composed
in 2021, in the end of
the COVID-19 lockdown. At
that time my family and I
were staying in our home
city of Kharkiv (also
known as Kharkov),
Ukraine for almost two
years. We considered that
pandemic period as a
disaster, but later have
realized that it actually
was a rather happy time,
because a war came to our
homeland just a few
months later. Since 2022
a considerable fraction
of the 1.5 millions of
Kharkiv citizens have
left their homes, those
who stayed have been
living under ceaseless
missile attacks, and many
have been killed. I would
like to dedicate this
Sonata to the frontier
city of Kharkiv and, most
of all, to its citizens
suffering from the
war. Yet, the music of
the Sonata does not have
any specific program.
Here I will give a brief
overview of its main
composition elements to
facilitate future
interpretations. The
first and fourth
movements of this Sonata
are based on the
interplay between the
twelve-tone principle and
the G-major tonal center,
natural for the guitar.
Namely, the first
movement is based on the
interaction of the
G-major triad Gâ??Bâ??D
of the open guitar
strings 2â??3â??4,
ascending motif 1
involving the notes
Eâ??F#â??Aâ??C#
(originally on the first
string), and descending
motif 2 using the notes
E-â??Câ??Bbâ??A-
(originally, on the bass
string 6). These elements
supplement each other to
almost make up twelve
tones (apart from the
missing F), and the
motifs alternate with
ostinato fragments where
each note in the G major
triad is step-by-step
moved by a semitone up or
down. The second
movement is a Scherzo
involving numerous
semitones in accented
chords and fast passages,
as well as chromatic
melodic motion in the
bass voice. It is almost
atonal in some fragments,
but has an overall tonal
center of A-minor. The
third movement is a
meditative Adagio based
on a theme composed
within hexatonic scale
Dâ??Eâ??Fâ??G#â??Aâ?
?B and ostinato chords
involving open bass
strings Eâ??Aâ??D and
semitone
Bâ??C. Finally, the
fourth movement is based
on the complete
twelve-tone theme
consisting of two phrases
including motifs 1 and 2
from the first movement:
Gâ??Fâ??Bbâ??Abâ??Câ
??Ebâ??D and
Eâ??Bâ??C#â??Aâ??F#.
This theme is presented
in its prime and
retrograde forms. There
are dialogues between the
first string, basses and
open middle strings,
similar to the first
movement. In the
culmination, the
twelve-tone theme is
performed using the
parallel motion of the
standard guitar G-major
chord with open middle
strings across twelve
positions. The Sonata
was premiered and
recorded (CD Naxos No.
8.574630) by the
prominent Ukrainian
guitarist Marko Topchii
who has also lived and
studied in Kharkiv. I am
extremely grateful to him
for the brilliant
performance of this
piece. I am greatly
indebted to Productions
dâ??Oz for keeping my
original notations in
places where these do not
conform to the
publisherâ??s style.

Questo
metodo si rivolge a tutti
i mancini che desiderano
imparare a suonare la
chitarra… senza
farsi venire pesanti mal
di testa! In altri
termini, senza solfeggio,
senza teoria musicale,
senza note, senza
pentagramma… Il che
significa che dovrete
giusto saper leggere
semplici diagrammi di
accordi (molto visivi)
per capire cosa fa la
mano destra, mentre le
pennate effettuate dalla
mano sinistra sono
rappresentate da piccole
frecce (molto
giudiziose). Semplice,
vero? Volendosi molto
progressivo, il metodo vi
propone all’inizio
di scoprire i principali
accordi della chitarra.
Vi far poi lavorare sulle
concatenazioni di accordi
e vi insegner poi a
suonarli su dei ritmi
pop,rock e folk…
fino ad essere capaci di
suonare degli
accompagnamenti alla
maniera dei più grandi
successi della chitarra
di ieri e di oggi (The
Rolling Stones, Jimi
Hendrix, AC/DC,
Oasis…).
L’altro vantaggio
di questo metodo risiede
nel disco dati allegato.
Vi troverete in effetti
numerosi file audio e
video che vi permettono
di ottimizzare
l’apprendimento e
tutte le nozioni
didattiche fornite nel
libro. I video (mp4)
presentano tramite
l’immagine tutti
gli esempi così come
devono essere suonati,
mentre le registrazioni
audio (mp3) propongono le
basi musicali per
permettervi di suonare
tali esempi in vere
condizioni
musicali… come se
foste gi un chitarrista
in seno ad un gruppo.

We proudly
present this new modern
critical edition of
Antoine de Lhoyer's Six
Exercices Op. 27,
originally published in
Paris around 1812. These
exercises, originally
written for 5-string
guitar, are remarkably
advanced for their time
and well worth playing;
the rapid arpeggio
patterns and daring
harmonic shifts in some
of them may bring even
Villa-Lobos to mind. The
Six Exercices Op. 27 were
arranged by Giuliani and
published some 7 years
later under his name as
Six Preludes Op. 83. The
exercises were originally
written for 5-string
guitar. We have added
alternative readings for
using the 6th string, an
often employed publishing
practice of the period.
The music is edited and
fingered by Erik
Stenstadvold, an
authority on the guitar
repertoire of the early
19th century. There is
also an informative
preface, with full
biographical details and
critical notes.

Ques
t’opera presenta
una serie di
accompagnamenti ed assoli
di chitarra nello stile
Modern Blues o Blues
Fusion.
Scoprirete
quindi degli
accompagnamenti che si
appoggiano sul blues
tradizionale per poi
arricchirloabbondantement
e, sia dal punto di vista
armonico che ritmico.
Suonerete poi gli assoli,
i quali arricchiscono,
come le ritmiche, il
blues tradizionale, ma
piuttosto dal punto di
vista melodico.
Essi sono costruiti
sulleprogressioni
armoniche tipiche dello
stile Modern Blues. Dal
blues/jazz al blues/funk
passando per il blues
minore...
c’è di che
ampliare la propria
visione del blues sulla
chitarra! Da Robben Ford
a JohnScofield,passando
per Stevie Ray Vaughan,
Gary Moore o Larry
Carlton… le fonti
d'ispirazione non mancano
per evocare questo stile!
Per ogni accompagnamento
ed assolo, troverete 5
registrazioni diverse sul
CD MP3
allegato,distribuite nel
modo seguente: la
chitarra da sola, a
velocità normale
poi ridotta, la stessa
parte di chitarra suonata
però sulla sua
base musicale ed infine
la sola base musicale,
prima a velocità
normale,poi ridotta...
per permettere ad ognuno
di suonare secondo il
proprio ritmo, il proprio
livello e le proprie
capacità.

The
fingering on nearly all
'modern' editions of the
Carcassi studies Op. 60,
to a very large extent if
not almost completely,
derives originally from
Llobet, who in his
Rowies, Paris 1914
edition was the very
first to publish RH
fingering for them. Many
modern editors just put
their own names on what
was Llobet's fingering,
thus silently claiming it
as their own. A process
being continued even to
this day. We are pleased
to present a carefully
restored facsimile of
this edition from
Llobet's library with all
his fingering and
emendations intact.

The name of
this book is no
exaggeration. It includes
some of the most gorgeous
music that the authors El
McMeen and Sandy Shalk
know. To make things even
more interesting, none of
the music was originally
written for guitar.In
addition to Celtic
favorites, El includes
his arrangements of two
of the most beautiful
arias in all of opera:
Che Gelida Manina from
Puccinis La Boheme and My
Heart at Thy Sweet Voice
ôMon Coeur Souvre ? ta
Voixö from Samson and
Delilah by Camille
Saint-Sa?ns. Sandys
contributions range from
Celtic to French love
songs to Stephen Foster,
manifesting Sandys gift
for chordal subtleties
and innovation.Each piece
is in either standard
tuning EADGBE or Drop D
tuning DADGBE .Written in
standard notation and
tablature with computer
generated audio files of
each arrangement.
