	Vision Music Profile - "Francisco Tarrega"
		Francisco Tarrega was born in 1852, and spent his entire existence composing and re-inventing the technique of the guitar, quite a feat given the instrument's tremendous "lack" of popularity throughout the late 19th century.
		Though Francisco toiled in relative obscurity, he was obsessively devoted to the instrument, and supported himself during his adult life by teaching wealthy patrons and, of course, other noteworthy guitarists/teachers of that time period (Miguel Llobet, Emilio Pujol, etc).
		There are three types of Tarrega studies that I'll be sharing with you, now and in the future: "Slur" studies, "Bar and Reach" exercises, and "Bar and Arpeggio" studies.
