Classical Guitar Repertoire Lessons Grade 1 (PDF)

Practicing with a teacher

I bought the printed book already a year ago, after I tried to learn myself playing somehow classical guitar by the Classical Method books 1 and 2, and the very good videos. I noticed I was rushing through too quickly, and found finally a teacher to help me. So I bought an extra pdf-copy for the teacher. It is not easy to find a classical guitar teacher in my town, but my young jazz/pop teacher took the challenge and we start the Classical Guitar Repertoire Lessons together slowly from the very beginning, starting with the scales (and not skipping them anymore). My practicing manners are much better already and I am enjoying it at lot. Thank you Bradford for your excellent books and videos!

Excellent and challenging.

I am a retired man with many years of amateur musical experience with brass, strings and woodwind instruments. Last year I decided to concentrate on two instruments I have had little or no experience with: piano and classical guitar, employing self-teaching materials. There are excellent methods and material available for both instruments. I came across Bradford Werner's This is Classical Guitar website and decided to use his methods and repertoire materials as supplemented by the wonderful video lessons which accompany them. This Classical Repertoire Grade 1 book continues the excellent and thorough tradition of the others I have been using, including Method Books 1 and 2, plus Classical Guitar Technique. After roughly four months of effort I find my progress very satisfying, limited only by the amount of time I am able to devote to guitar. Mr. Werner's devotion to providing this extraordinary body of teaching material, much of it at no cost, is exceptional and most admirable.
