Julio S. Sagreras Guitar Lessons

Having a look at some guitar lessons. It is interesting that it is difficult to understand what each string on the guitar is. I can't actually see a note and know where it occurs on the guitar.

I don't even know where the open strings are on the treble clef?!

I think when learning were the notes are it is all based on where the open strings are and then 'shifting' up or down frets etc... perhaps?

ALong with my violin study perhaps I can work through 15mins of guitar before each practice session. or perhaps at the end to unwind?

Secretly, i prefer the sound of the guitar?!?!?!

"Sagreras Las Primeras Lecciones is on a par with other great guitar methods like Carcassi, Giuliani, Sor, and Tarrega. In 100 years, people will still be using this wonderful little book. It's rare that something this good is this affordable."

Interestingly, just like with the violin; the initial focus is on the right hand and the way it excited the string, completely devoid of intonation.

Some further notes on studies for the guitar.
