Napoléon Coste - 25 Studies Opus 38 For Guitar Book  📚

Guitar Level: Intermediate to Difficult

Napoléon Coste's 25 Studies Opus 38 For Guitar is a renowned collection of guitar studies that provides a challenging yet rewarding experience for intermediate to advanced guitarists. Originally published in 1873 for a seven-string guitar, the studies were adapted for a six-string guitar in later editions. Coste's original intention was to extend the bass range of the guitar by adding a seventh string, tuned to D or occasionally to C.

In this book, the studies have been adapted for the modern six-string guitar, considering the common practice of tuning down the sixth string to D. The recommended octave transpositions suggested by Coste himself have also been taken into account. Additionally, the sequence of the studies has been reorganized to create a more progressive learning experience for guitarists working through the collection.

By studying and mastering these studies, guitarists can delve into the musical world of Napoléon Coste and develop their technical skills and musicality. The "25 Studies Opus 38" remains a valuable resource for guitarists seeking to expand their repertoire and enhance their playing abilities.
