Larghetto by Ferdinando Carulli [Lesson and PDF]

Larghetto by Ferdinando Carulli is a little gem of the classical guitar repertoire, and it hands you its musical DNA in the first two measures. In this lesson we break the piece down step by step: the anacrusis that drives the phrasing, the block chords, the stepwise melody, a beautiful suspension, singing tenths, and a melody hidden inside the final arpeggios.
