Libro 2 - Estudios is the second book in this series. It introduces Bar Chords, partial and full, and continues to provide pieces that sound incredible and allow for technical improvement. It also contains "Nuevo Spanish Romance," a beautiful and harmonically reworked version of the traditional guitar solo. This book features 15 pieces that progressively become more challenging and is intended to complement Libro 1.
