Reviews:
This book advertises it is Guitar Worlds top 100 guitar solos of all time, it is not. It is mostly songs from that list; however, there are several substitutions. So the list isn't what it says it is, what about the music? The music has several problems. Worst of all, the solo for November Rain is totally wrong. Not "doesn't sound right" wrong, but completely not any one of the 3 solos for the song at all. Some of the songs are ok, some are also "problematic". If you can snag a used copy for cheap, that is about all it's worth.Andy
I've been wondering what to practice and this has inspired me!Jonathan
I like the many forms of musical notation included and the background on the songs. If you can read, or find, the notes in the musical notation, then you can practice these riffs.Meow Max Super Commander ... 3.0

Reviews:
My first Classical Guitar teacher recommended this book for me back in the late 70's. I still have my first copy but it is worn from years of use. I thought the book was out of print but was delighted to see it was still available so I could replace my original copy. I recommend it highly, it contains a wide variety of pieces arranged by composer and year from Milan (1500's) to Tarrega (1900's). For those that need tab it does not contain tab. Great book for beginner to accomplished player.goodsbay
Had this years ago. Has some great works.inkeymusicgaz
Saw this book with a colleague and thought it was out of print. So pleased to find it again. Great price for an excellent classical guitar repertoire.2bonafide

Reviews:
The book includes licks to play over chords, but it does not show you how to play the licks, and does not give you finger positioning.Anonymous
This book teaches you beginning techniques like chords and scales, and advanced techniques like sweep picking and arpeggios. It is a great book for any guitarist looking for warmup exercises or new techniques.epiphoneplayer279
If you are new to guitar you do not want this book. You must already know the the notes of the fret board, chords etc. This book is for the intermediate player that already knows some scales/modes. The book teaches the CAGED patterns but really works more on the musical context. It moves you from playing in the box to outside the box.Anonymous
