Dionisio Aguado's New Guitar Method, first published in Spanish as the Nuevo Metodo para Guitarra in Madrid in 1843, is an epoch-making work in the history of the guitar and for more than a century was the most famous of all methods for the guitar. Here are set out and discussed all the technical issues which concern modern players: correct hand-positions, angles of the fingers, ornamentation, special effects, and the magical sound of the guitar, its very special tone-quality and how to produce it. This is a translation into English of that 1843 edition. It includes a full introduction by Brian Jeffery with a detailed bibliographical study of the many different original editions of Aguado's method.
Aguado wrote many studies and methods for the guitar, beginning in 1820 with his Estudios, then in 1826 he published his Escuela which included many of the same pieces, and finally towards the end of his life in 1843 he published his Nuevo Metodo para Guitarra which again includes many of those same pieces and which became one of the most famous of all guitar methods.
The book includes 27 Studies beginning on page 113, as well as many shorter pieces throughout the book.
