Not a "method" in the traditional sense, this book explains what happens in the finest classical guitar playing and what in turn the student can do to mold his or her playing to that ideal.

A companion volume to The Art of Classical Guitar Playing. This book provides serious students of the classical guitar with enough exercise material to progress to the highest levels of competence.

"2,000 guitars is a comprehensive visual and historical guide to that most lusted-after of instruments: the guitar. Compiled by a team of experts from the United States and the UK, it covers everything from early acoustic, classical, and resonator guitars through the hollowbody instruments of the jazz age, the celebrated solid and semi-solid model of the 1950s and 1960s, right up to cutting-edge modern-day electric, acoustic and bass guitars."--Back cover

Author Steve Marsh has spent many years playing guitar in the folk clubs of the United Kingdom where Irish music is in abundance. This collection draws from his extensive collection of original arrangements of traditional tunes. the songs vary in style and can be grouped into sets for use in a recital program. Many of the folk songs have been handed down from generation to generation so several versions of a song may exist. Therefore, the author has taken a few liberties with the tempo and rhythmic structures of a limited number of tunes in this collection. In general, the pieces in this album range from moderate standard to difficult. In standard notation only.

Presents twenty, four-bar exercises written by Jimmy Wyble followed by exhaustive harmonic, rhythmic, and scale permutation of the four-bar exercises by Ron Berman. Accompanying CD contains recordings of exercise permutations. This text gives insight to the vast melodic and harmonic possibilities available to composers and arrangers of guitar music. Examples should be used as ideas for improvisations, compositions, or springboards for new original material. Any musical idea, as shown in this book, may be permutated to create almost limitless original ideas. Exercises are presented in standard notation only.
