Art of Guitar Ensemble. Vol. 2. For senior forms of Children Music School

The ensemble playing is a very important landmark on the way to high guitar skill. Simultaneous playing of your part and listening to the other member's part make for the multi-functional hearing. I enjoy ensemble.

It doesn't stop being my favourite occupation. Therefore, my dear musicians, I am eager to present all my performing experience and my attitude to guitar ensemble genre to you in this very edition. 

My texts do not contain any indications of fingering. It was done on purpose, for Bach is known to have omitted fingering in his works, implying, that any musician understood, what to do with the instrument. Creative musicians should have their own opinion about such things. Besides, even if the fingering is already given to you and you find it quite satisfactory for yourself, there appear the places, which you prefer to play your own way. This process will truly become your favourite occupation. Imagine, there are also articulation, touch, strokes and many other interesting aspects of guitar ensemble sphere. That's why I wish you discovered your own position in the art of mutual music-making.
