arranged for Classical Guitar Solo. Par GUERRA STEPHEN. Choro is a popular instrumental-music tradition flourishing in Brazil and around the world.

This process is taught through examples provided by Dr. Stephen Guerra, a versatile guitarist/composer intimately familiar with both classical and Brazilian guitar (violão brasileiro) as well as the choro idiom.This book is intended for both students of Brazilian guitar and classical guitarists seeking to add choros to their repertory and play them authentically.

With Online Audio-As one can easily imagine it would be very hard for a Guitar student to start reading the scores of the traditional choro repertoire most of them with large number of technical difficulties. It would be much better if theycould start with some easier pieces - of intermediate level - in order to be presented to the choro language in a more gradual and appropriate manner.That is the main goal of this book. It has 13 studies (in the 13 morecommonly used keys for the choro Guitar) written in a reduced form and in the principal stylistic choro variants: besides real choros there are polkas maxixes Brazilian tangos and xotis. The more used and characteristicrhythmical figurations are present in each of the studies as the principal. Also aiming at the simplification of execution all studies were composed with only two voices (melody and bass) and with no chords (although harmoniesare quite evident due to the choro melodic particularities). An audio download available online contains all 13 studies.
