AL Plays

My Guitar Journal

• First lesson was on February 13
• Learned fundamentals of the guitar, technique, and musicality
• Found many composers/teachers like Carcassi, Giuliani, Tarrega and others
• Started getting into the music world as a whole and developing my sense of taste/personality
• Started with simple voice lines and melodies, ended with Chi Mai - a movie soundtrack arranged for guitar

First Year 2024

• Solidified my technique and developed a sense of musical style
• Started to love and appreciate many composers and teachers like Barrios, Sagreras, and Dilermando Reis
• Played through a more serious repertoire, ending with a piece by Dilermando Reis - Se Ela Perguntar

Second Year 2025

The year has just begun, so I have some plans set for it:
• Strengthen my technique so that I can pick up majority of the pieces I stumble upon and play by myself
• Continue developing my musical style and find even more of great composers/arrangers
• By the end of the year, try to play one of my role model pieces (Capriccio Arabe, Un Sueno En La Floresta, Standchen)

Third Year 2026

• A teacher and a composer every beginner-intermediate should try
• An Argentine man who established his very school at 25 and has one of the best schools you can get from my website (free)
• I grouped his exersices so you can go and practice the skills you need the most
• He is one of the people every classical guitarist should know

Julio Sagreras

Incomplete as of 2026
Will feature other material, like:
• Notable composers, arrangers, teachers, that EVERY guitarist should know
• Extra exercises that also include tremolo exercise rulebook
• Other guitarists I love
• Any other info that comes across my mind

Other Material

Every solo guitar concert I've been to
Most notable:
• Marko Topchii - one of the greatest living guitarists from Ukraine
• Gaëlle Solal - a French contemporary guitarist with spectacular performances
• Leonela Alejandro - my personal favourite guitarist to date with the best sounding tone and repetroire I've ever heard
