The Total Classical Guitarist teaches the essentials of classical guitar from beginning levels to late intermediate.

Intended for those with some experience playing guitar (not the absolute beginner), this book will appeal to traditional classical guitarists and teachers---as it features examples written in standard music notation only (no TAB). A CD demonstrating all of the examples in the book is included.

Practical, easy-to-understand lessons in technique
In-depth discussion of fingernails, including shape and maintenance
Comprehensive instruction on performing slurs and ornaments
Special techniques such as pizzicato, Bartók pizzicato, natural harmonics, artificial harmonics, tamboura, and tremolo
