Pumping Nylon

Pumping Nylon by Scott Tenant has almost reached a


cult status for guitarists... I think every classical
guitarist that I know has this book on their bookshelf.

That being said, this book is NOT a progressive


method book for beginners. This is more of a
"resource book" for experienced players to further
develop their guitar technique:

Pumping Nylon (Book and DVD) (The


Classical Guitarist's Technique Handbook).

Mel Bay makes an instructional book for just about


every instrument of every style. The Mel Bay's Modern
Classical Guitar Method is very logical and easy-to-
understand, with many great musical examples:

The Complete Carcassi Guitar Method

This is the guitar method of the renowned 19th


century guitarist, Matteo Carcassi. If you are a
beginner, I don't recommend starting out with this
book... 19th century guitar technique is a bit archaic
compared to modern technique. However, this is a
wonderful reference book for more experienced
guitarists:

The Carcassi Method is available in English translation,


and comes with Carcassi's famous "25 studies for
guitar:"

Emilio Pujol Guitar School

The Emilio Pujol Guitar School is one of the most


famous guitar methods ever written. Written in the
early 20th century, it gives us an ideo of Francisco
Tarrega, Emilio Pujol, and other famous guitarists
from that era might have played. Like with other
historic guitar methods, I do not recommend this
method to beginning guitarists.

The Emilio Pujol Guitar School consists of three


volumes. For a long time, this method was only
available in Spanish, however, it is now available in
English translation:

Guitar School - Book 1 (A Theoretical-


Practical Method for the Guitar, Based on
the Principles of Francisco Tarrega). By

Another famous historic method by the 19th century


guitarists, Ferdinando Carulli. Unfortunately, this
method is only available in Spanish:

Aguado New Guitar Method

Aguado's New Guitar Method is one of my favorite


19th century guitar methods. Aguado has many
fantastic ideas about playing technique, and
thousands of self-composed musical examples. I
recommend this book to all experienced guitarists:

Aguado New Guitar Method.

Which method will help me learn to play
classical guitar on up the neck using a
variety of frets? How can I get out of first
position? I read the notes.

Just because you aren't Catholic is
no reason to be negative about a
religion which you know nothing.
Your husband was brought up
Catholic and look where he is now.
This pope has the ability to bring
millions into the current century.
Give the man a chance before you
burn him at the stake.
