Lesson of the Week for Classical Guitar
Leo Brouwer’s Etude No. 5 from Estudios Sencillos via my YouTube Channel.

Sheet Music: Oeuvres pour guitare (guitar works) by Brouwer – Includes the classic Estudio Sencillos (all 4 books), Deux Airs populaires cubains, Deux Themes poulaires cubains, Danza del Altiplano, Piece sans titre no. 1 – 3 and more. Great value.

Cuban composer Leo Brouwer’s Etude No. 5 from Estudios Sencillos. I play the study and then give a lesson on musical and guitar related ideas. I would place this at the early-intermediate level but beginners and advanced players can still get a lot from working on it. You can see more lesson videos at the lesson archive page or browse free sheet music.
