5.0 out of 5 stars Beginners review on this book - EXCELLENT!, November 9, 2002

This review is from: 39 Progressive Solos for Classical Guitar: Book 1 (Thirty-Nine Progressive Solos for Classical Guitar) (Paperback)

I had learned about 4 or 5 chords for the guitar but wanted to learn to play real classical guitar. I bought this book and a guitar without any knowledge of reading music or playing. And about half an hour after starting with this book I could pick out the first song. Within weeks I had learned 6 fantastic classical guitar songs!

The book progresses perfectly for a beginner and each song brings a new challenge that is easy to master. The music is SO EASY to read using the tablature notation. It is a must have if you are learning on your own.

I recommend this book to anyone who has wanted to learn to play the classical guitar but has been frustrated by hard lessons or overly advanced teachers. Or just scared of the daunting challenge of learning what seems to be a difficult instrument.

This review relates to the Book 2 of the same author. Its amazing that Ben Bolt is the only classical guitarist who offers this kind of product meaning classic themes on a progressive order with tablature to the public and not only that, the book is masterly ordered to improve with every lesson or piece your technical expertice step by step magicaly. It seems that the author knows exactly what are the techniques in each lessons that help you reach a l;evel that the next one is a little more challenging with the consequence that when you finish the book you have a very profound technical knowledge of playing guitar. Great Book recommended for the intermediate guitar player that want to master at record speed the classical guitar. Probably after finishing the book 2 I recommend to perfect your guitar playing knowedge is just to get a great teacher and give public concerts. Thanks Bolt and I am waiting book 3...

I bought this book and have learned almost all the songs in it. The recordings on the CD sound very nice. The song selections are excellent. They are a little more up beat and lively then many other solo classical guitar I have bought. Classical guitarist sometimes play the most boring songs but Ben Bolt's selection is superb.
