My PDF Sheet Music Edition

El Testament d’Amèlia was popularized in the guitar world by Andrés Segovia who frequently performed Miguel Llobet’s guitar transcription as encores. The piece is from Llobet’s collection of Catalan folk songs. It’s all about melody in this one. It’s playable for intermediates but beware of tricky chord shapes, stretches, shifts, and right hand harmonics. Some might consider it more advanced. Note: Bar 19 bass note should be a B-flat in video. Here’s the YouTube Lesson Link if you want to watch it there.
