The Baroque Guitar

Rating:
Summary: A great barque-collection!
Review: I bought "Baroque Guitar" about a year ago, and I am still having great pleasure of the book. Noad has included artists like Bach, Dowland, and many others. If you are a beginner I wouldn't recommend this book, even though the book includes a lot of examples and explaining; baroque guitar is difficult! ... Noad also includes a section about trills and ornamentation, which are characteristics for the baroque.

Summary: Excellent Book by Noad
Review: This guitar book by Frederick Noad is good for both instruction and performance. The book is laid out in a logical, easy to follow manner. The musical pieces progress from simple to more complex as the book goes on. At the beginning of the book, Noad explains the ornaments and notation of the Baroque style in simple language. All of the pieces are written in modern notation with helpful explanations of the origin of the composition, guidelines for playing, and composer backgrounds. I've had this book for five years, and I still am enjoying it. It's wonderful resource. If you are a guitarist wanting to get into the Baroque style, this is the book!
