Lemoine Je Deviens Guitariste Vol.2 - Tisserand

Summary of This Score

This volume is aimed at guitarists in their 2nd and 3rd years who wish to consolidate their foundations while building a small repertoire. Each piece functions as a musical "mini-study": progressing on a specific gesture without losing the pleasure of playing a complete piece. The writing highlights comfortable melodies in low positions, supported by open string basses, to stabilize the right hand and establish a steady pulse.

The technical progression is particularly well targeted: some titles strengthen thumb independence on the basses, others develop i-m alternation, articulation, or the quality of left-hand legato. Ragtime-type pieces provide an excellent ground to sharpen rhythmic precision and clarity of syncopations, while more lyrical pieces invite work on phrase breathing, dynamics, and sound continuity.

The collection also stands out for its panorama of styles and colors that maintain the desire to play. It moves from a simple and balanced waltz to blues atmospheres (phrasing, accentuation, suggested "blue notes"), then to dances and tangos requiring more articulated playing and fine accent management. This variety helps the student develop listening skills, a sense of character, and technique serving musicality.

Finally, the inclusion of traditional airs opens the door to other languages: "La Colegiala" (Colombia), "Merrily Kissed the Quaker" (Ireland), "Samba Lélé" (Brazil), "Tri-martolod" (Brittany), or "Les Yeux Noirs" (Gypsy repertoire). Immediately engaging melodies, ideal for refining placement, voice balance, and the quality of legato. An effective tool to take a step forward in classical guitar, whether in lessons, at home, or preparing a small performance.
