Tango is a dance, a rhythm and a characteristic musical color. The 13 solos in this book were written especially for guitar by award-winning composers Jorge Polanuer and Brian Chambouleyron, and each tune is performed on the CD by Brian, one of the most popular guitarists in Buenos Aires. The solos are presented in different degrees of complexity – tune up with the tuning notes on the CD and play along with the tangos, milangos, waltzes and even a guitar duet. The songs are also repeated on the CD without the lead for you to play the solo part.

The guitar is a charasteristic musical instrument in Argentine culture. Since the arrival of Spaniards to South America, it has had a key role in our folk music. Its sound has been the composers and interpreters' favorite. At present there is a broad and comprehensive catalog of songs and instrumental pieces, which encompasses early genres of the 19th century as well as the latest pop creations. At the beginning of the 20th century (around the time of the blues), the tango was born in Buenos Aires: a style arising from immigration and the melting pot which was going to spread dramatically all over the world. Tango is a dance, a rhythm and a charasteristic musical color. It is in tango where the guitar reaches a remarkable level of technical and expressive development. Today I propose an approach in the 'tanguero' style of playing the guitar, with some pieces specially composed by Jorge Polanuer, a composer and a friend, and myself. The tangos in this book are accompained by valses-tango and milonga-tango, similar and complementary genres also played in ballrooms. For each piece I suggest fingering based on the criterion of economy of movements. The numbers on the notes indicate the finger with which that note must be played, and the encircled number refers to the string. There can be other ways of fingering which might be more practical for you; that being the case, feel free to modify it accordingly. There's a way to play for every instrumentalist! The pieces present different degrees of complexity; therefore, they could also make an excellent complement in learning how to play the instrument. I hope you find this approach useful and you feel like filling yourselves withtango.
