This collection of guitar pieces brings the guitar student from approximately Grade Two through Grade Four standard. It leaves the teaching of technique, hand positions, and other fundamentals to the teacher but provides material for work on specific techniques such as barres. The notes in the higher positions are gradually introduced and musical notation is explained with helpful hints.
Sections include:
- Carefully graded pieces to introduce gradually the notes in higher positions
- A general repertoire section with a wide range of music of various styles, listed in order of increasing complexity
- A reference section that can be consulted when a new technique or musical term is encountered.
The Guitarist’s Progress is a unique and exciting resource for guitarists. Four concurrent series follow the same basic progression, making it easy for them to be used in tandem. The
Duet and
Ensemble series is designed to complement the
Solo series, as are the
Repertoire and
Young Guitarist’s Progress series.
Travelling In Style and
Certain Hits! can be used alongside any of these. Used collectively, the books of
The Guitarist’s Progress provide a comprehensive and exciting introduction to beginning guitarists.
