I drove to Fine Fretted Instruments to see if Randy had any recommendations on which collection of Tarrega's works had a good summary of notes for those who study on their own. He did have a recommendation, but it was written completely in Spanish.
As I was driving to the shop, I caught a podcast from RadioLab about the human decision-making process and it left me wondering whether humans could make a sensible and unbiased choice in buying a guitar; or a sensible and unbiased choice in anything.
I ran into one of Randy's students, a fellow by the name of Peter. His band will be performing at the upcoming Highland Games. I think this year would be a good time to go as the 1st Battalion Scots Guards will be making an appearance.
