Description

John MacClellan & Degan Bratic,  “The Magnificent Guitar of Jorge Morel:  A Life of Music”.
Skill Level:  Intermediate.
241 Pages.
Published by Mel Bay Publications.

This book traces his early years with his father in Buenos Aires,  to the love of his life,  his wife Olga and of his life as one of the greats of the guitar.  The Maestro also shares his thoughts on many subjects with blunt honesty not often expected or heard in these politically correct times.

Through tragedy and loss,  Jorge Morel continues to compose and perform to this day.   His positive outlook on life and art and his authentic values are truly one of a kind.   This book tells his story and contains 21 of Maestro Morel’s great pieces and arrangements (9 new compositions presented here for the first time).

In the words of the Maestro,  This is the definitive work on my life and my music!

Includes forewords by David Russell & Pepe Romero.
