Modern Classical Guitar Method Grade 1

New classical guitar edition of the world-leading Mel Bay Modern Guitar Method, written by well-known concert guitarist and teacher Stanley Yates. The beginning classical guitarist will learn music reading, hand and sitting positions, practice techniques, arpeggio and scale technique, chordal and melodic playing, and solo and duet playing in the first position.

Many of the exercises and study pieces include accompaniments that can be played along with a teacher during lessons or with the included online audio. The student and teacher parts are presented on separate stereo channels, allowing either part to be turned off if desired. All the exercises, studies, and solos presented in the book are included in the online audio.

An accompanying online video provides demonstrations, practice tips, and performances for most exercises, studies, and solos in the book.
