Rating:  Summary: A goldmine of classical music Review: I learnt to play the classical guitar from books. After learning the basics, the thirst for playing more classical music intensified. Then I came across Mr. Waldron's books. His transcriptions and CDs were just the right combination for me. The CDs are not just a reference source but also a pleasurable listening experience. All the pieces included are some of the best music I have heard. Obviously Mr. Waldron's expertise shines throughout the CDs. I would give it 2 more stars for the sheer simplicity of arrangement. Buy them. It would be the beginning of a lifelong romance with this versatile instrument, the Classical Guitar.
Rating:  Summary: Inspiring material for the budding classical guitarist ... Review: I own all 6 of the Progressive Classics Series by Mr Waldron for almost a year now. Throughout this time I have learned a deep appreciation for the guitar, and the marvelous melodies this magnificent (but portable) instrument could evoke. Book 2 is my favorite, mainly because it includes such powerful, meticulously arranged, but moderately easy-to-play songs like Bach's 'Air' and Pachelbel's 'Canon in D'. Practice and play these pieces well, and even the most doubtful critic of the classical guitar (like in my case, some buddies who are heavy into electric guitars) will melt and wished they could pluck those nylon strings, too. The other exceptional book in this series is #6, which have good songs but the notes go to the 15th fret so beware if you or your guitar cannot handle it. Oh, and the CD rocks, too.
Rating:  Summary: Helping me with sight reading Review: I've played guitar by ear for many years, mostly hard rock. I wanted to expand my repetoire and improve my sight reading. This book helps, there's no tablature so you can't cheat. I've only started the book but there are many continued hours of enjoyment to be had here.
