In 1674, Spanish Gaspar Sanz publishes his "Instruccion de musica sobre la guitarra española".

In France, in 1670, Francesco Corbetta prints in Paris "la guitarre Royalle".

Robert de Visée, successor of Francesco Corbetta as musician at the court of France, had his "Book of guittarre dedicated to Roy" published in Paris (1682).

Since 1703, François Campion was given the title of professor of théorbe and guitar at the royal Academy of Paris by king Louis XIV. He published | his "Nouvelles Découvertes sur la guitare" in Paris in 1705 as well as a treaty on accompaniment which includes the first fugues for guitar ever made.

In 1692 the Italian Ludovico Roncalli published a collection of music for guitar.

In addition, works for the baroque lute from Johann Sebastian Bach and Sylvius Léopold Weiss and the many sonatas for harpsichord of Domenico Scarlatti adapt marvelously well to the guitar.
