What’s So Great About It?

 

The Guitar Lesson Companion is a method book that provides a clear and comprehensive structure of practical exercises that help students learn the necessary skills to play the music of their choice. It covers basic and intermediate concepts so thoroughly that students not only learn how to play the guitar, they also begin to see the connection between music theory and the design of the instrument.
