You learn them, or you wanted to learn them?

I took guitar lessons only when I was in HS. He was a great guy, taught my uncle too, so there was a rapport from the beginning. I remember he was teaching me scales, chords and finger exercises and one of the first thing I asked him was to teach me Horizon. He picked it up by ear, which amazed me. My guitar teacher gave me a old Classical guitar book (torn & with missing pages) I remember learning most of Leyenda, the only piece in it I recognized. I was into Steve Howe, and I was lucky enough to find a book of his, but it was in standard notation. I learn Mood for a Day and parts of Diary of Man Who Disappeared (Steve paying homage to Hank Marvin & Chet Atkins at the same time), Meadow Rag, and Surface Tension.

I bought music for Chaconne, but misplaced it so I never got to learn it, even though I wanted to. I also obsessed over Vals Criollo by Antonio Laura.
