The six pieces in this book are a pleasant departure from the usual Spanish music for classical guitar. Despite being originally written for piano,these pieces transcribe well. For an intermediate guitarist they are pretty easy to play with no wildly odd chords or long stretches. The notation used is like nothing I've ever seen before but a few minutes with your guitar will help you figure out the fingering.

It helps to hear someone else play these pieces first (either on piano or guitar)so, if you sight reading is as suspect as mine, you may want to pay a visit to Napster or something to listen.

The music is only in "proper" music form, not tablature.

This book will provide the classical guitarist with a good transcribed version of six of Satie's greatest pieces. This make life easier than having to do it yourself from piano score!
