Rating: - It's what I expected and better
I received Noad's Solo Guitar Playing Book 1 today and it's all that I expected and more. The author nicely sets up each piece noting any difficulties and how to over come them. I'm looking forward to re-learning the guitar from this fine book.

The big downside many other reviewers noticed is that the book is bound so that it doesn't stay open on the music stand. I took it to the local book bindery and they cut off the spine in one clean chop. They didn't even charge me for this service. ... Read More

Rating: - review
This book is good. A lot of song exercises. I recommed this book to those who have an general understanding of reading music. I'm a beginner myself and found this book easy in some parts yet harder in other areas of the book. A good buy for learning to play some of many classical songs.

Rating: - Wonderful Book, Made Learning classical guitar fun!
I had been playing guitar for 5 years before I dug into classical studies. A local classical guitar instructor recommended this book to me, to get me started.

Noad went into great detail about which fingers to use where, and how the notation is ment to be read.

It starts off slow, ... Read More

Rating: - Great Book If you have a teacher helping you.
This book is great if you have a teacher who is helping you. If you are trying to go through this book by yourself you will probably fail and become frustrated with the guitar. I do not recommend you use this book by yourself if you are starting out. Otherwise I love this book. I have a good instructor and I am learning alot. The book does not have tabs so you will be forced to read music (which is good) but harder. Buy the book with the CD so you can hear how the songs are played. I would have liked ... Read More

Rating: - I've owned a copy of this book for 30 years!
I stumbled onto this book as a teenager trying to teach myself to play the guitar. I found it both easy to understand and rewarding. Eventually I went on to minor in jazz guitar in college and spent several years as a union musician. A few years ago I returned to this book (I finally replaced my old copy with a new version) when I wanted to venture into classical guitar. Almost thirty years later I found it equally as captivating and rewarding as it was in my first encounter.
