2 out of 5 stars Mediocre book!   June 3, 2005

Basically the author takes the most common techniques and doesn't do a good job of explaining them. The repertoire is trite, overdone material. This book has nothing new to offer and is probably not the best introduction to classical music and techniques.


5 out of 5 stars A very straightforward way to learn classical guitar.   January 23, 2005

This is a pretty good book for someone new to classical guitar. I liked the way it was set up,it would start with some finger exercises have a lesson on a certain technique and then end with a song that utilizes that technique and that's pretty much the lay out of most of the book, simple and straightforward. It also explains different ways to hold the guitar and how to correctly position your arms and fingers to be most effecient. I have gone half way through this book so far and my fingerstyle has improved a lot especially now that I know the correct way to do everything. Considering the low price of the book which includes a cd it's a great buy for anyone looking to learn classical guitar from scratch or just brush up on their technique.
