Learning the Classic Guitar: Part 1

In developing Learning the Classic Guitar, Mr. Shearer adhered to the following concepts:1) How and what students practice is as important as how much they practice; 2) Give information only when it is immediately useful; 3) Start with the easiest skills; 4) Approach challenging skills gradually.

NOTE: Part One is all text—focussing on technical development and explaining the most efficient approach to study, practice, pre-reading, visualization and memorization. Part Two is all music—working side by side with Part One, applying concepts to music study. Part Three teaches the student to form clear and accurate concepts of music expression. It also teaches the guitarist how to perform in public with accuracy and confidence.
