Graded Repertoire for Classical Guitar: Progressive Pieces from Beginner to Advanced

Good guitar book with beautiful pieces from beguinner to probably advance (or at least intermediate). The pieces are well selected, although is a question of taste, I did not like a few, but all are great for practice (it gives you a more complete knowledge of the guitar) and for playing. I have many guirar books, and what I really do not like of many is that they are not arranged for the guitar, they just have the voice or melody mostly in one or two notes at a tine with the piano chords, etc. Or tgey are just chords for strumming.... This book has arrangements fot the guitar and as such, you should be able to learn with each section giving you more challenges and increase in playing difficulty, but all in fun and obviously, if you like guitar, you should like to see the advances you make, even it you play only for you. Is not the greatest book, but I am still looking for that one, in the mean time this is one of my favorites, especially the latest pieces. Tge biginning pieces are beatiful but easy for beginners as mentioned. In addition, I like the little messages it has at the begining of each section.

The binding on this book makes it impossible to lay flat on a stand or be scanned with a phone. It's a constant battle you can never win, which is quite distracting. The classical guitar corner academy sells a spiral bound version on their website but it is not available on amazon. I recommend that version. The spiral bound version also printed on thicker stock glossy paper. This one was a waste of money.

Dr. Powis carefully selected and arranged these wonderful pieces for the classical guitarist. Some familiar pieces, of course, can be found within the pages. But many other hidden gems that most may not be familiar make this a wonderful addition to your music stand. For best results, join Classical Guitar Corner Academy and experience the best in class instruction that goes along with this book.

I use this every time I practice guitar! The pieces progress gradually in a way that is helping me get better and better as I go along. This book is almost like having a guitar teacher available at all times, and it helped me go from goofing around on the guitar with no direction to making big improvements.

This book from Amazon has everything that I was expecting except the spiral binding that some of the reviews refer to. Apparently the spiral binding is available on the books ordered through the Classical Guitar Corner and not through Amazon. I look forward to using this book, but I will have to fight with getting the pieces of music to lie flat - an irritation that I wasn't expecting.

Very good graded exercises to progress on the classical guitar. Not for the absolute beginner, but as the title suggest very good and generally enjoyable to play classical pieces to progress with.

Simon Powis has put together an excellent method book for not only instructional purposes but the love of music. There is nothing more satisfying than to have one's time and effort spent on developing technique and fundamentals flourish into the beauty of a piece that can be shared with others.

Good left and right hand fingerings. Easy to read sheet music. Great selection of pieces in 1-8 graded levels.

This really has been put together well. As a member of the CGC academy myself, I was eagerly awaiting its arrival. Simon's pieces are very well chosen and fit very appropriately within all the respective grades. Accompanying notes for the pieces are informative, helpful and entertaining. My one small criticism is that I would have liked to see a hard cover ( particularly with the price being over £20) The flimsy soft cover is already beginning to turn up after only one week's usage. Nevertheless, certainly worth the purchase.

Nice selection of tunes for a beginner. I've been put off learning before by the repertoire but these are nice pieces and well organised to build playing skills in a sensible order. Must have for guitar students.
