Furthermore, it is also an exquisite read for pluckers in general who want to learn more on guitar technique, explore Duncan's unique perspectives, and perhaps implement some of his concepts to further their technique. I've been always interested in the physics of the instrument and how to maximize results with minimum effort both in my own technical endeavors and in my teaching practices, and Duncan’s book was the answer I’ve always searched for. However, as an avid guitar book collector, I could not help notice that a book that was in later print, named “The Natural Classical Guitar” had too many similarities to Duncan’s book, and the language used to explain particular concepts was eerily close to Duncan’s language. Does anyone own both of these books and have noticed my concerns? Since Duncan's book came first there may be a violation of intellectual property rights here. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Must-Have Book on Classical Guitar Technique *by H***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2020* I have been re-reading Duncan's fine book and continue to recommend it to all my students as essential reading. For years, leading classical guitarists such as William Kanengiser recommended Lee Ryan's "The Natural Guitar" as the go-to pedagogical book. However, I prefer Duncan's fantastic book because it covers nearly everything Ryan says about technique in half the space with far greater clarity. Considering that Duncan's book was published four years earlier, it made me wonder if that's where Ryan got most of his best ideas from. Sure enough, I even noticed sentences that were so nearly identical that it's very hard to believe that Ryan didn't "borrow" Duncan's ideas. The resemblance is too coincidental. But in any case, I can say that "The Art of Classical Guitar Playing" is the best book you can find that explains the "secrets" of fine playing that for a long time were known by only a few of the best players. Be warned that it's not an easy read, but it offers enormous rewards for serious students with the patience to study it closely. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book for Low Intermediate and Above Players *by W***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2012* I have been playing classical guitar for many years. Like many players I got to the point of being "pretty good" but could never break through the invisible wall of getting to "really good". Anyone who has been playing for a while knows just how hard that is. I finally started a systematic search to find the resources to get me there. I found this book in a roundabout way. I was watching William Kanengiser's excellent DVD "Classical Guitar Mastery". In my opinion it is one of the best instructional videos I have ever seen for intermediate players. He pays tribute at the end to Lee F. Ryan and his book "The Natural Classical Guitar" which is also excellent but hard to find. Ryan's book has a bibliography which made reference to Charles Duncan, and he gave this book a high recommendation..The reason I like this book is that it deals with the finer aspects of the mechanics of playing well in great detail. That includes right and left hand position issues and proper finger movement in relation to the strings. If you were to read the book as a beginner it would probably be too much information and it would not mean that much. After you have struggled for a while with the instrument you can better appreciate the significance of what he is saying. To me the section dealing with issues in shaping your nails is worth the price of the book by itself.This is not a guitar method. If you don't know how to play it is not going to teach you. You need Frederick Noad or Aaron Shearer for that, but this book does a great job of filling in gaps and bringing clarity to things discussed in those guitar method books. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/18180221-the-art-of-classical-guitar-playing-the-art-of-series](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/18180221-the-art-of-classical-guitar-playing-the-art-of-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
