Morris takes the student through open strings, lower positions, chords, arpeggios, scales and slurs with a treasure-trove of wonderful music from the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods. Historical and biographical information is supplied for composers, giving students context and an appreciation of the instrument's rich and varied past. Quizzes at the end of each chapter make it ideal for classroom guitar as well as private study.
