Headache

At the beginning of the 20th Century, the tango was born in Buenos Aires, and it was a style that spread dramatically all over the world. Tango is a dance, a rhythm and a characteristic musical color. The 10 solos in this book were written especially for piano by award-winning composer Jorge Polanuer, and performed on the CD by Federico Mizrahi, one of the most popular pianists in Buenos Aires. Play along with the tangos, milangos and waltzes that are presented in different degrees of complexity.

This arrangements in this book are intended to give additional, recreational work to those in the early stages of studying the guitar. Only easy keys are used, there are few accidentals, the rhythms are simple, and the left hand does not move away from the nut position: the harmonic language is traditional and such chords as are used are easy to play - they will be familiar to anyone who has worked through the customary, elementary pieces by Carcassi, Aguado and the like. For the most part, the music is in only two parts - the melody and a supproting bass.
