We get so much sheet music sent to us by various publishers year \u2019round\u2014literally hundreds of pieces in every setting imaginable (solo guitar, multiple guitars, guitar-flute, guitar-harp, etc.)\u2014but we don\u2019t have the space to write about the great majority of them in our four quarterly issues each year.<\/p>\n

So, just as we are now listing new classical guitar CD releases every other Tuesday here, we\u2019re now going use the Tuesdays in between those to announce new print music releases. As with the CDs, these are not reviews (some\u00a0will<\/em>\u00a0be reviewed in the magazine, but frankly most will not), but we think it\u2019s important to at least get the word out about what\u2019s being offered to guitarists out there. Where possible, we\u2019ve linked the titles to the publisher\u2019s website, and stated the degree of difficulty (if provided by the publisher or it\u2019s obvious).\u00a0\u00a0\u2014Blair Jackson<\/em><\/p>\n
