Summary: excellent!
Comment: I am just beginning to learn to play the classical guitar, and have purchased several books and this one is by far the best. It includes many exercises that you could practice on without getting bored. (Most other books contain one exercise per type of technique that they want to teach you, and it gets quite tedious.) This one has several similar exercises that you can move on even before mastering that one particular exercise, and return to find that you've already become proficient without working on the same song 50 times. It might be a good idea to also buy a book that is even more basic, possibly with tablature, just to get acquainted with the notes and positions. I strongly recommend this book!

Summary: The best of best
Comment: Among all books written by Frederick Noad, this is the book you wanna keep with you, if you play a classical guitar. Don't worry about buying any other books, because this book has everything you need to know to be a "good" classical guitarist. Amagingly, this is not only textbook but one which's filled with unlimited capacity to use. I mean, even if you finish using this book, try every single pieces with different interpretation. Arrange all pieces with "your" interpretation, with changing tone, volume, harmony, etc..... it never ends using this book. It's just worth to buy.

Summary: If you are teaching yourself classical guitar, a must have
Comment: My backround: I had two years of piano about five years ago, so I can read music, but I just started playing the guitar one month ago. This book is written at my level, and it isn't too easy or too intimidating. Had I not had 2 yrs of music reading exposure, this book would probably be a little difficult. The thing with this book is, it is for classical guitar players, not chord struming folk, rock or jazz players. Though other styles will probably benifit from the information, this book focuses on teaching you basics about how to play classical music. For example, there is no tabulature in the entire book. And there is one chord diagram just to show you what one looks like. In this book everything is written in notes and all chords and songs are presented this way. Picks are never used in classical music, so there is no info about the flatpicking or strumming you hear in modern music. On the plus side, this book is very professional and traditional in the way it goes about teaching you everything. That is, there is a lesson, followed by maybe 3 practice excercises. A lot of attention is placed on getting the techniques down right before moving on, because the last thing you want to do is learn something wrong and have to go back and try and forget it. Basically this is the best guitar book for classical music that I have come across. Rock fans may need to go elsewhere
