Aaron Shearer - Classic Guitar Technique Volume 1 Book 3rd Edition
(Shearer Series)
A Core Guitar Teaching Method with Online Audio 📚🖥️🎵
Aaron Shearer's Classic Guitar Technique has long been the core method used by generations of classic guitarists. Alfred Music is proud to present the third edition, and first major revision, of Volume 1 of this benchmark work.
Completely re-edited and updated in collaboration with Thomas Kikta (one of Aaron's former students and the head of Duquesne University's Classic Guitar Department), the third edition maintains the character and appeal of the original book while providing new critical insights into core techniques that had not been addressed in previous editions.
Also, for the first time, companion online audio recordings are included with the book, providing demonstrations, play-along tracks, and duet opportunities to ensure students correctly emulate the tone and feel of the music. 120 pages. Author: Aaron Shearer.
