DVD-Classical Guitar -Seven Easy Pieces

Rating:
Summary: A Helping Hand
Review: This is an excellent presentation of the seven pieces. I especially enjoyed learning Tarrega's "Adelita" and Bach's "Sarabande". Hand offers some views on interpretation and ornamentation as well, such as his discussion on the traditional baroque approach to Bach vs. his more romantic approach for the guitar. I would recommend buying his other DVD first, "Classical Guitar: Technique & Musicianship" in order to lay some groundwork for these pieces as they are not for the novice. Hand is one of the best classical guitarists in the world, and is gifted as an instructor as well which isn't always the case with great musicians. Between these two videos and the accompanying sheet music any intermediate level (which includes the ability to read music) fingerstyle guitarist should be able to become proficient in beginning to intermediate level classical guitar repertoire. Highly recommended.
