Eight Simple Lessons
author: UG Team	date: 07/31/2003	category: the basics

rating: 2.8 / votes: 9

This is a collection of eight lessons by Dionisio Aguado taken from his method. Most of them are not very difficult or long and they can be very pretty. Segovia recorded these and they can be found on his album "Guitar Etudes; The Segovia Collection, Vol. 7". Throughout, a '>' above a note marks an accent, a 'g' above a note marks a ghost note, and a 'c' before a note (standing for continue) means that the note should not be struck but should be left ringing from the previous place it was played. When necessary, crescendi and diminuendi are abreviated cresc. and dim. and '. 's are trailed out for their duration.

I don't see how this is really a lesson. It's more of just a normal tab...

Lefty3741 :
bad lesson. A hammer on is where you strike a string once and then swiftly put your finger onto another fret down the neck of the guitar without striking the string again its an easy and much faster way to play two, three or four notes descending down the guitar.

A pull-off is exactly the same thing except it is ascending up the neck of the guitar so if you have 14 pull-off 13 you put a finger on each fret and striking only once you quickly pull your finger off the 14th fret.

Hope this helps.
