In spite of being a greatly simplified version of Asturias, even to being set in a different key (the original is high up the neck of the guitar), this piece makes a satisfying and exciting first solo for students wanting to start classical guitar. It sounds more difficult than it really is.
This boy plays a shortened version of this piece, much more like what I have offered on this page, with a couple of added chords. Notice how nicely he extends his thumb:
The arrangement below is a study or homework version, so my beginners can figure out the tablature and get more familiar with regular notereading.

How? We compare each note to the tab for it in the Tablature-Staff Note-reading guide, take a pencil, and write it into the empty tablature. See page 1 (three pages altogether):
The repetition in this piece makes it IDEAL for your guitar students to quickly pick up those treble clef notes! I'm excited to see how my kids do...
Here is a complete version all on one page, with tiny notes and very little in the way of finger markings. It is handy to use once you have the basic idea of the piece:
Spanish Study Free Guitar Tabs For Beginning Classical Guitar
For a correct classical hand position, be sure the thumb plucks off to the side of the hand, so it doesn't meet the fingers. (I recommend purchasing a book such as Frederick Noad's Solo Guitar Playing, which has photographs to help students position their hands and bodies correctly... or find a teacher with a classical background!)
The left hand 2 will be placed on A, the 2nd fret of the G string, and stay there for the remainder of the piece.
If you are not familiar with reading staff notation, listen to one of the videos on this page (not Asturias, but Spanish Study, below) and notice where the rhythm changes from a feeling of 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, to a feeling of 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3.

A good way to practice this study is to leave off the high E (string 1) and play the thumb melody alone. This is very helpful for struggling note-readers.
Preparatory to starting this piece, it is a good idea to have your guitar students play short scales on each string, using each fret up to fret 5. Starting at string 6 (Low E), that would sound like:
Open E, F (fret one), F sharp (fret two), G, G sharp, A. Next string: open A, A sharp, B, C, C sharp, D... Next string: open D, etc.

I like to do this next to a piano so kids can see that there are no black notes between B and C, and E and F. Otherwise we use a paper keyboard .
Unless they understand that the distance between notes is not always the same, they will always be baffled by note-reading on the guitar.
The two-page version below is just the same, but it has finger markings on more measures and large notes to make it easy to see!

Notice in measure 9 that the B is fingered with a 1, even though it is a 2nd-fret note; this is to facilitate playing, as the 2nd finger just played an E (and should stay there through the next measure). 0, of course, means open string.
Just before measure 17, the left hand plays the B with a 1 finger again, because in measure 17 finger 2 must quickly snap down on an A.
In the second half of the piece, some of the notes are fingered differently than in the first half, because the 2 finger is busy keeping the A note pressed down on the G string for the entire second half.

Keep it pressed down! In measure 20, we meet a B note again, once again fingered with a 1 even though the C in the next fret is fingered with a 3.
For kids breaking into classical guitar, going cold turkey off of tablature may be very scary. I like to help them out with just the first few measures written in tab along with standard notation.
After playing entirely through this lovely piece, you can figure out why it is called a study or etude - all the right hand fingers get their turn to be part of a pattern, and it is tiring until your hand builds up strength.

Don't overdo it at first! I mean it - you must be cautious with the small muscles of your arms and fingers.
Here is a final version of Asturias, played by guitarist John Williams. He gives an informative introduction and history to this piece:
Tells the riveting story of the time when Jews in ancient Persia faced a foe named Haman, and how a brave young queen risked her life to save her people.

And when they start reading white-key notes on the staff, this is a fun easy resource to say each week, Choose a new black-key song at home this week and figure it out to show me next lesson! They will be spending more time at the piano.

Thank you for a most excellent site. I am a classical guitar teacher, who endeavors to cover chords and fingerstyle as well. I especially liked the printable Celtic music, as some of my teenage students enjoy it! Thank you, again.
Matt: THIS SITE IS AMAZING!! I've been teaching guitar for about 5 years now, and I've only just found your website! (I could really have used it 5 years ago) :-)

Easy Spanish Guitar Solos Von Mark Phillips » Noten Für Gitarre
Like some of you, I've been playing the piano since early childhood, and have added a few other instruments along the way, plus an interest in arranging and composing music.Spanish guitar songs have got to be some of the most evocative, most sensual musical pieces you can ever play on a string instrument. What makes the sound so fascinating to the ears and mesmerizing to the soul is the rich layers of harmony and melody that are ever-present.
Traditional Spanish guitar songs always use a nylon string acoustic guitar. However, there are many artists today who also use steel string acoustic guitars in the playing of Spanish-themed music. The sound may not be as interesting as that of a nylon string guitar, however. Nylon strings produce sounds that are soft and melodic.
Spanish songs require strumming patterns and guitar chords that are a little bit different from songs for acoustic guitars. These styles are necessary to achieve a characteristic sound. You will know a Spanish guitar song when you hear one.

Below, we’ll be discussing easy Spanish guitar songs for beginners that are also fun to play. Learn the strumming patterns and the fingerstyles for each song and you will be on your way to mastering the fascinating world of Spanish music.
I cannot think of a better song to begin your exciting journey into the evocative world of Spanish music than La Paloma. This is the equivalent of the Beatles’ Yesterday in terms of the number of versions that it has. Countless composers, artists, and musicians never fail to draw inspiration from the wonderful tune of this mid-19th century Basque song.
Musicologists say La Paloma has more than a thousand versions that span across cultures and settings in various recordings and arrangements. It is not only popular in Spain; La Paloma also has a massive following in other parts of the world. We are not only talking about countries that were former colonies of the Kingdom of Spain. It also includes the Hawaiian Islands, Germany, Afghanistan, and Romania, among others.

Did you know that La Paloma comes in different interpretations? You can find the song in orchestras and operas. There is a military band version of it. More contemporary artists have transformed the song into pop, rock, or even jazz. For the rest of the world, La Paloma is a very beautiful folk song.
The reason I am telling you all of these things is that you can play La Paloma anyway or any style you want. You do not have to play the original
