Sor Study No.4 - Op.6, No.1
Study #4 is a good one to start with because it's really easy to decide which hand will do what. In some later pieces that I'll cover it gets harder to notate.
If you don't have a copy of these pieces, in audio or sheet music, go out and get them, they are so great. (I can't find my Segovia book and tape edition, so I was happy to find these on http://everynote.com/ for really cheap!)

So, I've broken one of my biggest rules and dropped the bass line here down an octave. Doing the lower voice as written would have been almost impossible to play. I think if you play the left hand part kind of "lightly" it works. Other than that, it's a pretty simple piece, and lays out well for bass. I found it helpful to practice the left hand part alone at first, and then add the right-hand part when I was comfortable.
