Summary: A MUST for the aspiring classical guitarist...
Review: Jason Waldron has compiled a great set of classical guitar pieces which would make you crave for more. The CD is a big help to get that fingerpicking right. The songs are arranged (approximately) in order of difficulty and grouped according to keys. This is my first classical guitar book and ever since I've laid Dave Matthews and the gang on the side. I'm still at #21 (out of 56!) but at this stage my technique is getting finer. The songs alternate from joyful to somber, always giving a "feel" -- beyond reading and listening -- for the most romantic period in human history. It seems to me that this hobby would last a lifetime. Long live Sor and Giuliani!

Summary: Emphasis Is On Beginner
Review: This book is fine for the absolute beginner, although there are better ones out there. Do not buy this book if you are even close to intermediate level guitar.
