The
Art of Classical Guitar,
by Peter Altmeier-Mort
A Complete Method, Vol
1, Elementary
If you are a complete beginner on guitar, or have some previous experience but want to try the classical guitar for the first time, this is the book for you.
Containing very detailed directions, explanations, photos, and diagrams, this book will guide you smoothly through all the stages of establishing your music reading and technical skills.
Divided into three sections, the first part of the book takes you through the early exercises and songs in duet form so, if need be, you can learn and perform these with the support of another player or a teacher – immediate satisfaction from your earliest musical efforts!
In the second section you begin to play solo for the first time, melody and bass parts together. In the final section you truly fly solo, with a variety of great sounding solo-guitar pieces!
