Dionisio Aguado y García

In 1826, Aguado visited Paris, where he met and became friends with and for a while lived with Fernando Sor.

Aguado's major work Nuevo Metodo Para Guitarra was a guitar tutorial published in 1843.

The more extended works require a virtuoso technique and left-hand stretches that are almost impossible on the longer string lengths of modern guitars.

(See Frederick Noad, "The Classical Guitar") Aguado returned home to Madrid in 1837 and died there aged 65.

[3]) Of the instruments used by Aguado, two which were built by are held at the Museo Arqueológico Nacional in Madrid.
