Learn the fundamentals of Classical Guitar while building a repertoire of solos. Solos are written by famous guitar, and non-guitar, composers.  This class is suitable for:classical guitar beginnersplayers of other styles wishing to learn classical guitar techniquethose who want to develop their music reading and playing skills in 1st position on guitarThe first solo in the course is the most simple.  This allows you focus on the finer points of classical playing.  Then, as you progress through the course, each solo builds on techniques learned from previous pieces. These music pieces are the same as the first 10 solos from the book, 50 Easy Classical Guitar Solos, by Jerry Willard.  Jerry's compilation of pieces was done thoughtfully so that the order of pieces is in order of progressive difficulty.The book is published with both Standard Notation and Tabulated Notation (TAB).  Tutorial videos in this course also have both standard notation and TAB throughout. There are two sets of play-along videos provided.  Choose from either the dual TAB and standard notation, or use the standard notation only. Or, begin by using the dual notation, then try using the standard notation only.Jerry Willard's book is recommended for practice away from the videos, but is not required for the course.Pdf copies of standard notation ONLY are provided as a resource in the course:to help move away from dependence on the TABto offer additional fingerings throughout where they are not shown in the bookYou are also encouraged to post questions and comments through the Q and A part of the course.  This can not only help you, but also others who may have the same concerns.
