If you are unfamiliar with Noad's "Solo Guitar Playing I", I would highly recommend that you start there first. Book II is an order of magnitude more difficult. The author does an excellent job of introducing you to each new piece of music and pointing out problem sections that will need extra practice or that have tricky fingering. When necessary he also presents exercises or patterns that help to exemplify a piece or that will be used throughout a piece. Overall, the book is well written and the material is well presented. It does not "hold your hand" as much as book one did and the music selections are quite a bit more challenging. I would recommend it only to the experienced guitarist or to those who have completed Book I. If you are able to make it through this book you will have built a phenomenal classical repertoire.

It's a very good educational book for the intermediate guitar player who wants to be challenged. A challenge it does provide, however, it does not have a huge variety of great songs in the back.

Very good book for intermediate guitarist (NOT FOR BEGINNERS, please take count of it), even though its convenient to buy the book 1 also (in fact I did it), above all if you are studying chapter-by-chapter. If you are a experimented guitar player, you will find good music pieces, specially those at the last chapter (two masterpieces) and the most important, you will find key recomendations from the author to play them very well.

I think those contents is enought to give you a good idea of what you can do and how far you can go in the beatifull realm of classical guitar.
