One of the most comprehensive books ever written for the serious player starting classical guitar, this 134 page volume takes the absolute beginner all the way through to approximately a 2nd grade public examination level.
It is intended for one-to-one tuition with a teacher, but may be used for small groups (2 or 3 persons) where it is part of a specific learning program. As well, many mature-age students have completed this book through their own self-instruction in situations where a teacher has not been available.
The book contains detailed instructions, explanations, photos, diagrams, and guides the student through all the early stages of establishing music-reading and technical skills. It is broadly divided into 3 sections of study;
- rest stroke technique; single-line melodies and two-part solos
- free stroke; developing right-hand arpeggio technique, applied solos
- repertoire; guitar solos of both traditional and new classical guitar composers.
