Sagreras is big on "apoyando" with the a-finger. Apparently, among guitarists, this is out of fashion, but I'm sticking with the lessons as written because playing this way is more challenging than a "tirando" stroke.

Descending/ascending slurs in E-more. Ugh, Sagreras, you're making my brain hurty.

Moving along slowly because I'm bouncing between two different method books, and a book of solos, and stuff I find on the internet.

Sight read quickly through Lesson 64, but Lesson 65 has twist left hand finger combinations.

The plink-plink-plink is strong with lesson 61. I know it's good for left and right hand development, but...Zzzzzzz.

Flipping through this, it looks like I'll breeze through the first 35-40 lessons, but this should be a good complement to the Mel Bay classical guitar method. Plus, Sagreras' exercises seem more melodic and there are videos demonstrating many online.
