The twenty-five etudes in Op.60 by Matteo Carcassi (1796-1853) are one of the most important pedagogical collections for classical guitar. The etudes are both enjoyable for their musical content and pedagogically beneficial for their very clear technical objectives. Compared to other etude collections, both period and modern, Op.60 excels in its tightly focused compositional adherence to didactic goals. For this reason the etudes are excellent studies for students to test their skills in a controlled musical setting and a right of passage from the intermediate to upper playing level.

Etude No.18 is at a technique level of around Grade 6 depending on your desired tempo and level of musical refinement. This etude presents study opportunities for melodic passages mixed in with arpeggios and muted textures. It also presents a fair amount of shifts and other accuracy issues to work on. The grade level really varies here depending, in particular, on the tempo. I recommend you first practice the upper melodic lines on its own. Then, create some muted exercises to establish the muted bass figures in your muscle memory. Now put it all together and work on raising the tempo while retaining accuracy and musical flow.
