Nice sampler, nice playing! I remember doing one of those, the one that goes DIdididitDIdididit... lol. I've been looking for that book for a long time and it seems to have vanished.

Love those pull-offs on the 1st string. Very well played, sir!

One of the things I like about that edition of the 25 studies is that it's got just the basic fingering markings that are needed to show position changes, etc. It keeps the focus on the music itself. Doesn't have that cluttered look that some print music does where every note has markings for left and right hand.

Mine was a Ricordi edition, my impression is that it was a pretty nice edition. It's maddening when things disappear into E space.

I just had to order music for a Clementi sonata for 4 hands piano that I'll be performing soon with a partner. It's not in public domain, yet there's only one edition extant, by Ricordi. When I got it I was aghast, it's a small volume with small print and cramped margins at the binding, and to top it off it's in the portrait format typical of solo music which is not ideal for 4 hands piano, landscape format is the norm. I could excuse it in a Dover edition but not a $$ edition like Ricordi. Definitely not what I expected of them, if only there was a Kalmus or IMC or even Peters... Sorry, just venting.

That's the edition I have of these 25 studies, with suggested fingerings by Miguel Llobet. I agree that it's a pretty nice edition. Straight-forward and relatively uncluttered. It's one of the first books I was told to get when I initially took classical guitar lessons many moons ago.
I pulled it out after watching Timothy lawler's video, which compelled me to go re-visit some of these little gems.
Really nice playing and tone Tim! Thanks for that Carcassi reminder!

Yep. At least when you have a paper copy if it gets lost you know it probably still actually physically exists and finding it is just a matter of time, unlike digital copies that can vanish into oblivion with a hard drive failure or a few careless mouse clicks.

Thanks Andre. Carcassi deserves more attention than he gets!
