Ce commentaire est de: 100 Graded Classical Guitar Studies (Paperback)
This book is for people who play classical guitar well enough to be able to read the music and understand right hand technique. It is not an instruction book. Rather it is a collection of pieces written by three of the giants among composers in the classical guitar world. These studies are musically excellent and develop skills very well. Some commentators have mentioned that you need a teacher--I agree, but this book is not about instruction. It's simply a collection of music, music thqat when played develops specific skills (that's the purpose of an etude, or study). Some people have criticized the book for not including right hand fingerings. The book is given as these 19th century composers wrote the music. Nothing is added. I guess I'm a little irked when people want to criticize something for being something other than what they wish--like criticizing a milk cow for not being a sow. This is simply a great collection of studies.This is for classical guitar players and is invaluable--the best collection I've seen. I've used it for supplemental music for my students for 8 years and it is the best skill building/musical collection out there.

Ce commentaire est de: 100 Graded Classical Guitar Studies (Paperback)
Not involved with playing any instr. in over 10 years, i acquired the desire to play the guitar, picked up a cheap fender 16 months ago (really cheap) and to-date, i've been studying classical guitar for about 5 months. im still working on the noad series instructions, but wanted to fill in 'gaps'. even tho, im only up to #11 in the book, i can see that this book is going to be priceless. firstly, for those that are SERIOUS in learning as much as possible for classical style playing, i would (just as many others would) suggest finding (usually its by word of mouth) a good classical guitar instructor. he/she will be the only one that will be able to guide you in the 'correct' techniques to master with the left hand transitions.. barring.. the 'hinge'.. etc, and the 'correct' right hand finger picking with the corner of the finger. i strongly, and sincerely suggest those that are interested in classical guitar studies to pick up this book. its an excellent repitoir that combines needed technical studies with the classical style music of the classical guitar. i do agree with the 'drawbacks' of this book, tho if you combine this book with good instruction and some dedication in practice, the right-hand finger picking should not be of much trouble, since noad does not explicitly tell you what finger to pick with. the 'binding' of the book would have been nice if bounded with rings.. just make due, dont let this interfere with your studies!! photocopy it if you need to :) i would not suggest this book to those begginers that know absolutely nothing about the guitar. you'll easily get frustrated. noad assumes you can read the trebble cleff (the musical staff).. simply put, he assumes you can read all the musical notations including those for the guitar. i wish i could say that those that are intermediate or advanced guitarists should use this book, but i cant 'cuz i can't truly relate what it is to be 'intermediate' or a advanced player :) if you just play accasionally or play mostly chords, then you probably wont get much out of this book... for the rest of us, we'll simply be better guitarists :)
