Aguado's method for guitar has been known to guitarists for many years as the best method available for students. And as well as being highly practical today, it is also a text of the first importance in the history of the modern guitar. Here is a new and fully professional English translation of this famous work, with a new introduction and notes by Brian Jeffery. The book is recommended as a practical method for the guitar; as a historical text; and as a reliable edition of Aguado's many studies, exercises and other music, included here and edited for modern performance with the composer's own fingering.

Dionisio Aguado's New Guitar Method is the standard English translation of Aguado’s celebrated method for guitar, which for more than a century was the most famous of all the methods for the instrument. Newly translated from the Spanish and published by Tecla in 1981, it is now reprinted with only minor changes. (We still include the list of those Tecla supporters who helped with the publication by subscribing to it back in 1981.) It includes a detailed bibliographical study by Brian Jeffery of the many different editions of Aguado’s method.

""The New Guitar Method will most likely find an important place in every guitarist's library"" (Guitar Player)."
