About this title

Synopsis

A Modern Approach to Classical Guitar – Book 1 is a comprehensive beginner method designed for students learning classical guitar. Written by a renowned classical guitarist, this book provides a structured, step-by-step guide to mastering essential techniques, reading music, and playing with correct posture and hand positioning.

This revised edition introduces two-part music (thumb-and-fingers technique), the foundation of classical guitar playing. With a clear progression, students will learn rest stroke and free stroke, sharps and flats, time signatures (4/4, 3/4, 2/4), melody with bass accompaniment, and solo and duet pieces.

Ideal for self-learners, music teachers, and students of all ages, this book offers a modern approach to building a solid classical guitar foundation. The carefully curated exercises and repertoire help develop finger independence, rhythm control, and musical expression.

This book is widely used in private lessons, conservatory programs, and self-study, making it a valuable resource for teachers and students alike. It also makes a great gift for aspiring classical guitarists looking to refine their skills.
