Description
Renaissance For The Guitar. Contains a variety of solos originally written for the Renaissance lute and vihuela. All of these beautiful transcriptions are based on the original tablature. The pieces range in difficulty to provide appropriate challenges for players of both modest and advanced levels. Historical information and performance instructions accompany each piece, and helpful fingering suggestions are also included. Each piece is written in both standard classical guitar notation and modern TAB.
