AARON SHEARER: A LIFE WITH THE GUITAR
featuring Manuel Barrueco

A documentary celebrating the life and work of the most influential classical guitar author and teacher of the 20th century.
Aaron Shearer's extraordinary life is told while being honoured as a guest at Manuel Barrueco's guitar master class. Many of the finest guitarists of our time offer insights into Mr Shearer's contributions to the study and performance of the classical guitar. Enjoy performances of Bach, Vivaldi, Tarroba, Barrios, Villa Lobos and Brouwer. In a private recital for the class, Maestro Barrueco performs Scarlatti, Nazareth and Rodrigo.

"Ultimately it may not be the methods you write but the players which you create after a lifetime of teaching that really defines what you have done. No one has created anywhere near the kind of players that Shearer has."
  - David Tanenbaum, Concert/Recording Artist & Guitar Chair of the San Francisco Conservatory
