Taken from his book “The First Lessons for Guitar,” this short piece was written by the famous Argentinian guitarist and composer,Julio Sagreras. In this rendition the bass notes were removed to serve the pedagogical purpose of practicing three-string ami rasgeuados.

When beginning this piece, ask the students to first place the left-hand fingers in the appropriate chord formation, then prepare the right hand to play rasgueados. After this is mastered, you may wish to ask students to prepare the right hand, then the left hand. The final goal is for both hands to prepare simultaneously.
