Classical Guitar Answer Book

Summary: disappointing effort
Review: Having read about the skills of this wonderful musician I was very excited to get my hands on a copy of this book.However, I was disappointed when it arrived.I found nothing inspiring or indeed any more informative than your average "How to..." manual.
I felt that many pages of this book were merely lists I could find free on the internet and the 10 pages of programmes from her recitals seemed a little bit on the cheeky side.I returned this book

Summary: Informative but lightweight
Review: The book is 50 lightweight pages of Q and A. I burned through the entire text during my lunch hour. Some of the info was helpful, but I was left wondering who is the intended audience? Half of the information was elementary and half for the serious player. Whatever your level are going to be disappointed in at least half of the book. To be fair I picked up a couple of tidbits. Ask yourself is 50 pages of possibly useful tidbits worth the price? It wasn't for my money.

Summary: disappointing effort
Review: This book is very thorough,and answers all those little qeustions that are usually overlooked(but are assumed)in most classical guitar instruction books.The book also gives classical guitar education programs and how to contact music institutions in the US and Canada.Sharon Isbin has mastered a technique of guitar playing,and is sharing all the stumbling blocks she has encountered along her way to excellence.For any one new to the guitar or anyone who is striving to better themselves on the guitar,I seriously recommend adding this book to your library.

Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: This book looks like it was put together over the weekend by shameless promoters. A real disappointment of a book. Very evasive answers, nothing to sink your teeth into and gain any insight from a classical guitartist in the spotlight. A shame that is who the world is watching as the classical guitarist.
