The Complete Laurindo Almeida Anthology of Guitar Solos by Laurindo Almeida Acoustic Guitar - Sheet Music

By Laurindo Almeida

Laurindo Almeida 1917-1995 belongs to an elite group of Brazilian/American guitarists, who by composing important works for the guitar reinstated the instrument in his native country as worthy of serious musical study. Stylistically, his compositions synthesize his classical background, Afro-Brazilian rhythms, traditional Brazilian music, and American jazz. This collection presents Almeidas solos preserving the original left and right hand fingerings. The fingering is unique and tells us something about his skills as a professional guitarist. It also reflects the Brazilian school of guitar technique in the 1930s. Written in standard notation only.
