Grade 2 Lesson: Lantururu by Sanz

This lesson comes from my new book Classical Guitar Repertoire Lessons Grade 2 – Seven pieces at the grade two level with dedicated lessons preparing you for each piece. Check it out at Werner Guitar Editions.

Lantururu by Gaspar Sanz (ca 1650-1710), from Instrucción de música sobre la guitarra española, 1674. Upper position playing will not become common until grade 3 but it’s good to get some experience to prepare for the future. Unlike previous upper position reading in my methods, this piece will meander up the first string.
