Cultivating Expressive Guitarists
Though a guitar method, this volume emphasizes crucial musicality. It thoroughly addresses stylistic interpretation and tone production, vital for any collaborative player. The detailed technique lessons, like slurs and vibrato, lay groundwork for expressive voice-leading on guitar. The included classical duets are an excellent practical application for ensemble playing, fostering a strong sense of musical interaction.

Inspiring Journey with a Master
As an adult learner, I found Christopher Parkening's Volume 2 truly inspiring. The intermediate to upper-intermediate challenge pushes me, but the clear lessons on advanced techniques like vibrato make it achievable. Playing pieces by Bach and Sor, taught by a legend, is incredibly rewarding. The online audio helps me get closer to 'sounding like the record.' It’s a wonderful source of relaxation and musical growth.

Excellent book to develop skills beyond beginner
Standard notation only. No tab. Intermediate guitarist content with the CD. You'll need to be past beginner training to tackle this curriculum. Advanced counting and performance repertoire will push you to be a better musician and superior guitarist. If you're serious about music and the guitar, then this book is for you. The repertoire in the back is not on the CD
