South America lists talents such as: Miguel Llobet (1878-1938), Julio Salvador Sagreras (1879-1942), Joao Guimarães (Pernambuco) (1883-1947), Augustin Barrios Mangoré (1885-1944) and Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959).

In the 1930s, Spain again becomes the center of the guitar with the composers Manuel de Falla (1886-1946), Joaquin Turina (1882-1949) and Joaquin Rodrigo (1901-1999), who write for the guitar without being guitarists themselves.

Manuel de Falla is the first composer non- guitarist to write for the guitar, he opens the way to many composers who consequently write for the guitar. Let us quote:
