Antonio Rugolo performs Estudio de Velocidad by Francisco Tárrega (1852–1909). This comes via his YouTube channel. Nice playing and phrasing by Rugolo of this etude by Tarrega that really pushes lots of single lines but also a number of other techniques. Rugolo is an Italian guitarist and teaches guitar in Conservatorio “E. R. Duni” in Matera, Italy. I’ve featured Rugolo a few times on the site which you can see here.
