Guitar Picking Tunes - Melodious Etudes

These 27 short etudes were composed to provide music suitable for study or the concert stage. The etudes present a colorful palette of moods and musical textures and incorporate various picking techniques and lush harmonies. They are extremely useful in developing tone and a lyrical feeling to a guitarist's style. These etudes will work well as concert preludes or encores or may be played in groups to create more extended performance repertoire. They are guitaristic and highlight the beauty of the plectrum/flatpick guitar style. The etudes are written in notation and tablature. Includes access to online audio.
