I started playing classical guitar when I was 14. I am now 66. I played into my 20’s and stopped because life got in the way. I started playing again when after I retired in 2019. When I was a teenager I randomly bought an album by Baden Powell because it had a nylon string guitar on the cover. I immediately fell in love and spent many hours in record stores hunting for more. I have been a fan my entire life. I saw Baden at the Blue Note in New York shortly before he died. I am eternally grateful for that opportunity. I have been waiting a long time for a book to come out like this. A big thank you to you!
Hi Tom, I'm really enjoying the book. Just wondering if you could point me to the recording or performance of Apelo that you used when producing the transcription? Thanks
Sorry, I don't provide a physical copy. But you can always find a local printer to print it and bind it for you. I've done that with many books. I guess you might find one online to send it to you, though I haven't tried that myself. Offering a hard copy on Amazon is not economical as they take most of the money, and I'm not set up to mail things out myself.
Thanks Tom no worries. I went ahead and purchased the digital copies. Just a quick question. On the piece Se Todos Fossem Iguais A Voce I noticed towards the ending it is completely different from the original piece. Was this your interpretation or added arrangement? Thanks.

That's an amazing story, thanks for sharing it. Really appreciate the positive feedback. Hope you enjoy the book.

Hi Jimmy, very happy to hear that. This one is from L'Art de Baden Powell. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEBQyNyyZzg
Is there a physical copy of this book available for purchase?

I don't really understand. These are transcriptions. It's different from which original piece?
