Review: Great for intermediate classical guitar players! - If you are serious about getting better playing classical guitar this book is a must! It has a lot of skill building songs as well as the Giuliani exercises. Spiral bound so it lies well on music stands. Review: Sehr empfehlenswert - Nach nun einem Jahr mit diesem Buch kann ich mich den meisten Rezensionen anschliessen: ein ganz wunderbares Buch für das Selbstudium geeignet. Es hat mich, besonders mit den Aufwärmübungen und Fingerstudiuen ein ganzes Stück weiter gebracht. Meine Ûbungseinheiten strukturiere ich mir nun mit Hilfe/durch Inspriation des Buches. Da der Autor wirklich alle Phasen im Leben eines ( auch Amateur)-Gitarristen durchgeht, wird mir dieses Buch auch in Jahren noch helfen. Sehr zu empfehlen! Mein Favorit. Very good! I love it. Ich muss noch eines dazu sagen: Scott hat eine ganz besondere Art, das Gitarrespielen sehr "spirituell" zu sehen, scheinbar. Seine Kommentare und Tipps, gepaart mit Zitaten, die auf intressante Weise mit den behandeln Themen zusammen passen, machen es manchmal zu "Yoga"-Artigen Erlebnissen für mich. Das ist natürlich äusserst individuell, aber ich finde diese Herangehensweise sehr schön.
