INTRODUCTION

'El noi de la Mare' translates from Catalan to 'Mother's Boy' in English. Composed by the brilliant virtuoso Miguel Llobet 'El noi de la Mare' is a popular favourite amongst classical guitar players the world over. 

The piece itself is in the key of D major and it isn't overly difficult but it does contain a couple of interesting fingerings here and there. It is written in Binary form (A B) without any modulations or key changes. 

Performance Points

• keep the melody separated
• use a light rest stroke in the right-hand
• ensure your fingers remain close to the strings
• use preparation wherever possible in the left-hand
