5.0 out of 5 stars
Inspiring material for the budding classical guitarist ..., November 11, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Progressive Popular Classics of the Great Composers Vol. 2 (Morning; Air on a G string; Toreador Song from Carmen; et. al.) (Paperback)
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.
