Summary: The Ultimate Beginner's Book
Review: This is the authoritative beginner's book for Classical Guitar students in North America. Like any rigorous classical method, Aaron Shearer's is not suited to those seeking to learn the instrument without a teacher. The chances are that when you begin study with your teacher, he or she will have you purchase this book. It will be an excellent choice.If he or she is not thoroughly familliar with the book and method, another teacher should be considered immediately.

Summary: Even a middle aged woman can learn Classical guitar!
Review: This method is great! After a lifetime of pretending to play the guitar (!) I finally decided to actually study. My teacher uses all of Shearer's methods simultaneously, but concentrates on this one. I had imagined that beginning to study would place me in the "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "Mary had a Little Lamb" category, but NO! This method approaches the study of guitar seriously, and beautifully - by the end of the first book you are playing simple but lovely pieces, based on a sound technical basis. I am astounded to have come so far so quickly using this method. Highly recommended! I am delighted. :)
