Opus 60, No. 1 is the first of 25 short studies Fernando Sor wrote to build real technique through real music. This one teaches a habit that quietly separates clean fingerpicking from clumsy fingerpicking: keep a fretted finger down until it’s actually needed somewhere else. Let notes ring and don’t lift early. Get that working here and it carries into everything you play after.
Let’s get started.
Opus 60 No. 1 Guitar Tabs
Some minor fingering edits have been made to the original arrangement for ease of playing. The numbers next to some notes on the top staff indicate which fingers to use on the fretting hand. You can review this lesson to help you learn how to finger pick on guitar.
The form of the piece is straightforward in that you repeat measures 1 through 8 and then repeat measures 9 through 16. If needed, see this guide on understanding music symbols.
