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.

The best arrangements Ive ever had the pleasure to read, enjoy and play to an appreciative audience! keep them coming Mr. Waldron "The Maestro"

I am a senior music composition, classical guitar major and all 6 books in this series contributed to my repertoire. The 1812 Overture and Ave Maria are great. I don't like that the last 10 pieces are always challenging but the first 20 are easy enough to sight-read in one try. I own all 6 books and I've ended up arranging harder versions of pieces. These books give you a head start on some pieces. If you're a beginner this book is perfect. If you're a virtuoso these books are great for sight-reading and getting a jump start on arranging pieces you can't find guitar music for.
