Taught by renowned guitaristÂ
Joseph Palmer
Mauro Giuliani's 120 Right-Hand Studies are some of the most well-known exercises for developing classical guitarists.

Indeed, most guitar repertoire involves combinations or variations of these right-hand patterns. In addition to providing step-by-step directions for every study covered, Award-winning Joseph Palmer lays the foundation for how to develop a strong, consistent tone even as you play faster patterns in other pieces.
