Volume 1 of CLASSIC GUITAR TECHNIQUE presented a systematic approach for gradual musical and technical development toward mastery of this noble instrument. No effort has been spared in study, research, and experiment to continue the same approach in Volume 2. The full value of these works will be grasped only by those students who are willing to contribute a similar effort on their own part, both in a sympathetic approach to the contents of the books, and a constant evaluation of personal problems which a text by its very nature is unable to consider. This text should be used with its supplements to coordinate a program of study that will comply with the requirements of the individual student.

Good for the beginner:
I finally bought a guitar and started taking lessons. This is the book my instructor teaches from and I can't beleive how quickly it progresses to playing actual songs. It keeps my interest, so I know I'll be flying solo soon enough.
A very good starting book that works for the adult student...:
Recently I enrolled in a school of music. I was aprehensive at first (I didn't want to have to practice little children's music) but soon was happy to hear that my instructor uses this book. When I first looked thru the book I could see that it was meant for serious students. I appreciate the methods used here. The music that one must practice is beautiful and I really get a sense of accomplishment when I "get it right". I would recommend this lesson book to all instructors.
Joni's Book:
This book was originally purchased from a music store in Montreal, Quebec, Canada for my grandson who was visiting from the Czech republic. His music teacher recommended it as a great basic tool for learning to read music and understand the basics of the guitar. With the help of this book he was able to show Joni that in order to be a great guitar player, no matter what type of music, a good foundation in reading music is essential.
After Joni returned home to the Czech Republic, the book was stolen... more info
Great book for bebinners:
This book offers enough exercises to obtain a well practiced hand before moving into harder pieces. Other books seem to offer you building blocks, then show you the pyramide, but miss connecting the two. Shearer does an excellent job of helping all the pieces come together.
