about

Common Practice is a set of etudes for guitar.
After several years primarily performing in ensembles as an electric guitarist and bassist, in the summer of 2009, I returned to the classical guitar. As a way to relearn classical guitar technique, I intended to write a set of twelve very short and easy etudes. The five rather long and demanding etudes that make up the first book of Common Practice are the result.
