Review by W. Aldridge for Classical Guitar BK/CD Hal Leonard Guitar Method
Rating:
I love this book. It offers excellent, straightforward instruction for the beginning classical guitarist, whether an experienced guitarist in other forms or someone who has never picked up the instrument before. The author, Paul Henry, moves along at an easy, but progressive pace that keeps things varied and interesting. He offers just enough rudimentary instruction to get you started, but without the material ever becoming overly pedantic and boring. I’ve been learning guitar for a few months and had waded through the Hal Leonard Method Book 1 with the assistance of an instructor, but I’ve been on my own for a while since I decided to throw my picks away and concentrate on the classical guitar. I’ve acquired copies of practically every classical guitar method book ever published, and have found some, especially those by Frederick Noad, Christopher Parkening, and Scott Tennant to be particularly good. But for the initial plunge, this book is definitely the best of the lot. I received this book today and it was a genuine pleasure just to skim through it and appreciate its content. Even though I am at the “advanced beginner” stage by now I am so impressed with this book that I’m looking forward to working through the entire book, cover to cover, which I’m convinced will be very productive and satisfying. This was the last method book I bought, but for building a solid foundation in playing classical guitar, I’m convinced this one is the very best.
Review by Rick Fortenberry for Classical Guitar BK/CD Hal Leonard Guitar Method
Rating:
While having taught the guitar and played in many genre for over 20 years, I/ve never seriously delved into classical guitar. I think this book is a good introduction, for a self-motivated, disciplined student who is willing to practice.
There is no tablature, so some knowledge of notation will make this book easier to follow, although a good general intro to reading is included in the beginning. The pieces are varied, and a lot can be learned from the way the author approaches the right hand working with the left.
If you’re serious and willing to do the work, this is a very good introduction to classical guitar, in my opinion. It would be fine for someone who may be taking lessons in another style of guitar, also. The Hal Leonard books are very friendly for those seeking to make their own way, but will really be of benefit while studying with a good teacher.
