Practical Method for the Guitarron
(Metodo Practico de Guitarron)


Volume # 1
(2nd Edition) CD included.
Previously out of print, The Guitarron Method Book, volume 1, shares the knowledge and technique of the guitarron master himself, Natividad de Santiago, in a precise method for a beginner level player of the mariachi bass instrument, the guitarron.  The late Natividad de Santiago González played guitarrón with Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán for nearly 30 years. He is widely considered the greatest guitarron player of all time.

The book contains hand written exercises and illustrations, all developed and by Maestro Santiago.  Written in Spanish, English translations are provided by noted mariachi historian, Jonathan Clark. This book is especially designed to teach the beginning player the fundamentals of the Mariachi guitarron. It contains lessons with playing positions, fingering positions, major and minor scales with easy exercises, patterns and songs. The accompanying CD provides a teaching soundtrack to guide you through the exercises and songs. Volume 2, to be available by early 2007, will take the guitarron student to the intermediate level of playing style and technique.
