As a professional, I appreciate direct, effective learning. This Hal Leonard classical guitar method offers a strong, no-nonsense approach to foundational classical technique. It focuses on standard notation and classical articulation, crucial for building serious chops. While it's a method book, not a gig chart, it's an excellent resource for aspiring classical guitarists needing a reliable curriculum to hone their craft.

This Hal Leonard method is a fantastic resource for my beginner classical guitar students. The step-by-step instruction builds a solid foundation, progressing logically through essential techniques like PIMA. With clear diagrams and a strong emphasis on reading standard notation, it’s superb for developing rhythm and musical literacy. A truly comprehensive guide for any aspiring classical guitarist.

For those teaching or studying classical guitar deeply, this method shines. Its intelligent introduction of two- and three-part music is invaluable for understanding voice-leading and musical texture. It fosters a well-rounded musicality beyond just technique, preparing students to appreciate the intricacies of classical composition. A robust curriculum for developing serious classical guitarists.

Classical guitar is the most demanding type of guitar to play, but Hal Leonard makes it easy. You might not become a flamenco master or another Segovia, but this book is still a trip! I highly recommend it for those interested in fingerpicking and smooth songs!

I'm a public school music teacher in Utah looking for a book I could use in my guitar classes. I'm a percussionist, not a guitar player. I love this book. It's exactly what I've been looking for. The illustrations and pictures show positions clearly. There are no cheesy American folk songs. Most of the pieces have Spanish or Italian influence, which is what I want from a guitar book. There are no duets or other multiple-part pieces, but I'm willing to suupliment the book with ensemble music from other sources. There are counting and fret reminders throughout the book. Many of the songs have both melody and bass line. Some of the songs towards the end seem a bit difficult, but upon closer inspection are playable if the student masters the previous material. I haven't listened to the CD yet, but I'm sure it's a great help for the student. I definetly will use this book next year.

As a teacher I am always looking for material to help me teach students in a practical, organized and inspiring manner. The instructions and format are clear and concise... well thought out. Also the musical selections are such that a beginner can actually play some pleasant music very quickly. Thank you Paul Henry and Hal Leonard
