If you do not have a couple of years of lessons and consistant playing logged, you probably wont be able to use this book fo quite awhile. While the content is certainly excellently plannned out, it infers you have some solid knowledge.

This review is from: The Student Repertoire Series (For Guitar) Volume 1: A Graded Anthology of Guitar Works (Sheet music)

I'm a self taught guitarist who recently took up the guitar again after a 20 year break. I love this book. The pieces are beautiful and are arranged from beginning intermediate (I think) to advanced intermediate. You must be able to read music. The author includes some notes on playing each piece -- technique, musicianship. But mostly you advance through practice and listening to the CD. The CD, by the way, is wonderful, and I often put it on just for pleasure. One of the things I love about this book is how the author emphasizes musicality, things like subtle pauses and changes in tempo, crescendos, etc.
