Danza Paraguaya - Premium Membership

Introduction

Augustin Barrios also known as Augustin Barrios Mangore or Nitsuga Mangore was a prolific Paraguayan composer of the 20th century. His many works were bought to light by the indefatigable efforts of the iconic classical guitarist John Williams.

The piece represented here is Danza Paraguaya and it is quite challenging in places especially in when the opening melodic line is reinforced by an inner voice later in the piece after the B section.

Tips

• Keep the rhythm strong and steady

• Use rest strokes to bring out the melody

• Use the guide finger principle with the 4th finger throughout the C section

Let your fingers fly!
