Complete in three volumes, this widely used text presents classical guitar instruction in a logical and clear manner. the student is thoroughly grounded in left and right hand technical studies and is acquainted with the works of the masters. In notation only.

From Scott Tennant---the best-selling author of Pumping Nylon---comes book 2 of this amazing classical guitar method. Book 2 continues where book 1 leaves off by introducing more essential classical guitar techniques such as the rest stroke, block chords, and how to shape and use the right-hand fingernails. Lots of helpful photographs, drawings and personal tips from this world-renowned performer and educator make learning easy!

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.

Congratulations on completing the studying of “ My guitar Method Book 1”, while book 1 taught more about the fingering exercise, basic note reading, and simple melody line, book 2 will introduce the basic scales, chromatic notes, more famous melody, and musical terms. Book 2 also features some solo guitar pieces composed by great composers like Ferdinando Carulli, Fernando Sor, Matteo Carcassi, Gaspar Sanz, and others. With the duet exercises, students will learn how to play along with other players, improve their ear training, and play better in the group in the future. It is important that young students know about the lives of the great composer who have enriched our life with beautiful music, hence the book introduces some great composers with a very simple biographical history, to enrich the learning experience.

This text covers four topics fundamental in the study of music theory: scales, intervals, key signatures, and an introduction to chords. It will explain the tonal materials from which music is composed. The student is assumed to know the names of all notes on the six strings of the guitar throughout the first four frets and the corresponding notes on the G(treble) clef.

Each volume of the 2-volume teacher edition set contains 54 complete lesson plans for 18 units of Guitar Expressions. Each lesson includes a Lesson Snapshot, Instructional Overview, a complete step-by-step lesson plan with embedded assessments. The book also includes reproducible student worksheets, assessments forms and student progress record, CDs containing complete instruction, demonstration, play-along, and additional listening tracks. Included are Bloom's Taxonomy Correlation, Assessment Overviews, and Core Thinking Overviews. Plus interactive Guitar Guru technology embedded on the included CD-ROM (included in Teacher ed. v. 2) allows students to use their computers to view animated fretboard displays of selected songs.

This book is unique in that it has all the possible chord voicings on the top four strings of the guitar. These are the voicings that are used in funk, rock, R&B, and jazz. A chord progression section is also included and allows the student to use the common progressions of a blues and minor blues. The information presented in Volume Two builds on the theoretical material presented in Volume One, but also introduces highly advanced reharmonization concepts. Intermediate students will find the progressions challenging, while the reharmonization section will be a most rewarding exercise for the advanced student. This book is the required text at both New York University and Princeton University.
