Julio Salvador Sagreras (1879–1942) was an Argentine classical guitarist, pedagogue, and composer. His many lessons are contained in a multi-volume method method book that mainly teach through progressive studies or etudes (Lessons – Lecciones). His first method book of lessons Las Primeras Lecciones de Guitarra start from absolute beginner open strings to early intermediate works. His second method is for intermediate to late intermediate works.
How I use Sagreras with my Students – I generally do not follow his rest stroke advice if the student is directly at the level of the piece being played. That is because I want to focus on my student’s ability to relax and keep good positions and musicality, this is tied into my educational outline. However, for students who are using these works as a review and for exploratory practice then I do recommend they try out his suggestions to expand their abilities.
