Guitar School Book 1

The Escuela Razonada de la Guitarra of Emilio Pujol needs no introduction. The work has occupied a major position in guitar pedagogy ever since it was first published in 1934 by Romero y Fernandez in Buenos Aires. Many subsequent guitar methods have drawn inspiration from it. The lack of an English language version; however; has prevented many English speaking guitarists from a clear understanding of Pujol's teachings. Those who were fortunate enough to have attended Pujol's master classes in Cervera have had first-hand exposure to his ideas; but others; who have used the lessons and examples without being able to read the text; can have gathered only a rough idea about Pujol's approach to guitar pedagogy. In spite of certain preconceptions regarding this book; it is of paramount importance to the teaching of all facets of guitar technique; guitar musicianship; and guitar artistry.
