The Guitar Lesson Companion - Volume Two

“The Guitar Lesson Companion, Volume Two” is a continuation of the first volume, designed with the serious music student in mind. It assumes that students are working with a guitar teacher, and that they have a solid understanding of the concepts presented in Volume One. Its structure and contents mirror that of Volume One; there are plenty of progressive exercises, written assignments, and reviews of stylistic concepts to keep lessons interesting and fun. Also like Volume One, exercises and concepts are grouped intuitively, making it easier for teachers to personalize courses for individual students or classes. View the

Andrew Nafziger, Guitar Teacher, Former Guitarist for Marcia Ball
This book nicely lays out the fundamental theoretical concepts that I am consistently trying to impart to my students. It has ample exercises that are practical, and is written in such a way that I can use it to compliment my own teaching style.
