Best book to learn classical guitar.

Tue, 2 Jun 2015 | Review by: Tinus C.

Have been looking at thousands of books - this is it ! Very basic and practical text and exercises progressing to everything the beginner and intermediate guitarist will need. I have been playing on TABS for very long, too scared to learn proper music notation, now I see how easy and systematic it really is - the secret is practise and practise again and not going too fast . . . Very clear and to the point instructions that makes it a pleasure - I know now that I CAN learn this and it will not take years. I am even learning classical songs while doing this - thank you Loot. Money well spent - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ! Tinus.
