Sagreras First Lessons For Guitar Book1
About twenty years ago when I was talking to my distinguished colleague, virtuoso guitarist Miguel Llobet,
and asked him what he taught as a first lesson for beginners, he told me he had them play the open strings
repeatedly, to accustom their fingers to the motion, even if the student did not know (at first) what notes he
was producing. This method is unbeatable, because it lets the student realize how difficult that first lesson is
and teaches him the correct guitar position.

In this lesson the right hand thumb is used for the first time; it needs to push the bass string, initially catching
just a little of it with the thumb somewhat sideways, towards the 1st string and slightly upwards.
This study also serves to learn the notes in different octaves. Specifically from this lesson on, the note names
and locations will be omitted.

The following lesson involves for the first time the first three fingers of the right hand in a fixed order of
thumb, index and middle finger. The left hand will not change position throughout the measure, and will
move only at the next measure. There are no rest strokes in this lesson.

This lesson is the same as the one before, apart from the slight difference that the index and middle fingers
are played simultaneously, moving towards the palm of the hand.

In this study the ring finger of the right hand appears for the first time along with the thumb, index and
middle finger. Fingering indications should be strictly observed. As for the left hand fingers they will be
playing the notes as needed. This study is also used to learn notes in three different octaves.

CHORDS
In this lesson chords appear for the first time. It is preferable that the student should play them lightly at first,
catching just a little of the string with the fingertips in a movement towards the palm.

In this lesson we encounter the 2nd position for the first time, as the “A” on the first string will be played
at the fifth fret. The change in position from bar 4 to the next should be performed as follows:
Lift your finger from the "A" on the 3rd string and slide the index finger from the "C" to the "C #" without
lifting it from the string. This technique is called “portamento” or "glissando"

Here we see for the first time the bass note played simultaneously with an accentuated treble note, although
the student has learned how to do this in lesson 39. If he has any difficulty, have him practise playing the two
notes in arpeggio, the thumb leading slightly.

The teacher can choose whether or not to ask for the notes played with the thumb to use rest stroke, apart
from the “D” in the 8th measure which should not use rest stroke, since there is already the "D" on the 2nd
string which is being played at the same time.
