Great Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Renaissance Guitar (Paperback)
I've had this book for almost 20 years and have been getting back into it quite a bit lately. The reviewer that complained about the tablature notation is a little confused. The numbering on the notes are left hand fingerings, not tablature, and is standard for classical guitar notation. Sometimes I find myself playing just the notes and paying less attention to the fingering.. or I might question the fingering... but time and time again I find the fingering offered is utlimately the best solution.Not only is the music expertly presented but the selections are incredible. Years ago I bought the tapes of this book as well as Noad's Baroque, Classical and Romantic books. I learned many of the pieces that were on the tapes that I found interesting.. but for the most part with this book and the Romantic book I think all of the tunes are quality. I have even learned the pieces that were not on the tape and have found a number of gems. I am an amatuer so I don't appreciate spending what little time I have to learn a piece and then having the piece turn out uninteresting... but I think you will find ALL of the pieces in this book to be fascinating. This was the first Noad book I bought... and had it for a few years before I bought the others. However... I still find this one to be my favorite. And the four book collection has to be the greatest collection of classical guitar music ever assembled. I may have to order another copy of this book because I've worn mine down.

This review is from: The Renaissance Guitar (Paperback)
the book had great songs in it and interesting commentary, however the way in which the music was written was confusing. i am reletivly new to guitar, so it may just be me, but the tablature numbers were mixed randomely through the musical staff, and i understood very little of it, even in its beginer section.

A well-shaped collection,
By "thisnicknameisnottaken" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Renaissance Guitar (Paperback)
This is an anthology of renaissance music for stringed instruments, arranged for guitar. The tunes are well-chosen; the printing is good; the book falls open well; the arrangements are nice, with useful performance tips. What more could you want?

Another of the Great Frederick Noad Titles,
By M. R. Sheffield - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Renaissance Guitar (Paperback)
As far as guitar sheet music/song books go, Frederick Noad was and is a name to be trusted. This collection is no different from his others. A first rate compilation. I rarely have problems with his fingering suggestions. The selections are top notch and always include a few surprises! Mr. Noad was truly one of the finest classical guitar teachers of the 20th century (and a top flight guitarist to boot). His legacy lives on in his songbooks. I own everything he published and recommend him most highly to beginner, intermediate and advanced students alike.
