Good start on your musical journey
This book is a great resource for beginners and even experienced players who want to add classical guitar to their playing. It starts with the basics and works it’s way into playing some pieces you’ll impress your friends and family with. All in all a good starting place to jump into more intricate playing.

Worth the purchase
Great for a beginner like me. I ended up buying an acoustic guitar, but 95% of the books lessons still apply, so I was really happy about that.

Great to deal with.
For a beginner or an intermediate student of classical guitar style playing I highly recommend this book. There is also a lot of information on the guitar it self. Music is written in standard notation plus tab.
