It has been my intention from the start of my classical guitar career to build a repertoire that is fresh, with material that the public is not used to hearing on classical guitar. This, of course, is achieved by taking on the task of arranging. When choosing classical pieces for the guitar, I consider ones that have some degree of popularity among the general public. The pieces chosen for this book were chosen with this in mind. Each arrangement is presented in both standard notation and standard notation with tablature with fingerings and string designations thoroughly included in both tablature and non-tablature versions. Every effort was taken to stay true to the original compositions while choosing fingerings that facilitate the smoothest possible movements on the guitar fretboard. No sacrifices were made in the requirements of technique, making them suitable additions for the repertoire of any virtuoso classical guitarist.
