I bought this Gaspar Sanz collection specifically for the 'Canarios' piece, one of the best pieces of all the classical guitar directory. The other piece are also very beautiful. The tablature is very useful. Also, I very appreciate the video available at 'thisisclassicalguitar.com'.

There are just a few musicien who can really teach and upgrade you with your guitare studies.
Werner Bradford is one of them.
His knowledge and teaching is on the highest level for he classical guitar!
His choise of compositions, the accents in licks. Its all very acceptable and complet.
I follow his videos on YouTube for practicing.
I should like to practice the ‘flageolets ‘.
Perhaps you can give some lessons in this area.
Thank you Werner, for everything you give to me!

I am so inspired by this piece. As a beginner, it is above my level, but I am inspired to work towards playing it. I have bought several of this publishers sheet music books and they are exceptional. His lessons are extraordinary and I would not be playing as well as I am without them.

Precise and professional as with all your products.
Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge !!!

A very precise and well-crafted selection of songs

Some beautiful works I'm not familir with but will be soon. Thanks, DN.

All of the pieces have both musical notation and TABs. There is a good selection of pieces mostly in C major/A minor (so not too many sharps/flats), and in common or 3/4 time. Many of the base notes are open string and where there are multi-note chords many of the notes are also open string. There is guidance about fingering in both hands which can be helpful. I haven’t had time to try playing many of these yet but I can see that trying to master them will keep me busy for a few months to come.

Thank you very for your very clear explanations.

Been trying unsuccessfully to learn to play the guitar for 20 years, until now. So easy and enjoyable. It all makes sense now! I love this method. Highly recommended 👌

Nice little pieces with a different flavour. Easy to play.

... interesting melodic pieces that someone at early intermediate stage can learn and perform relatively quickly and with relative ease.
Of course, Bugs Bunny sang the definitive version. ("I dream of Jeannie, she's a light brown hare..")

At 48, after years of playing guitar just for fun and several failed attempts to learn classical guitar, I finally found a method that works for me. Classical Guitar Method Volume One by Bradford Werner has been an incredible resource for getting back into playing, especially after a 15-year break. The method is well-structured, and the free video lessons are a huge help. Some exercises have been challenging for me, but I can definitely feel progress. It’s all about taking it step by step, and Bradford’s teaching makes that process enjoyable and motivating.

Bradford, thank you for sharing your knowledge and making classical guitar learning accessible to so many of us.

As a beginner, you can feel confident that you will be moving forward with solid skills that are crucial in later years. Brads videos are a great tool to navigate his written work. It makes learning so much easier.

I am a retired man with many years of amateur musical experience with brass, strings and woodwind instruments. Last year I decided to concentrate on two instruments I have had little or no experience with: piano and classical guitar, employing self-teaching materials. There are excellent methods and material available for both instruments. I came across Bradford Werner's This is Classical Guitar website and decided to use his methods and repertoire materials as supplemented by the wonderful video lessons which accompany them. This Classical Repertoire Grade 1 book continues the excellent and thorough tradition of the others I have been using, including Method Books 1 and 2, plus Classical Guitar Technique. After roughly four months of effort I find my progress very satisfying, limited only by the amount of time I am able to devote to guitar. Mr. Werner's devotion to providing this extraordinary body of teaching material, much of it at no cost, is exceptional and most admirable.

I find your approaches resonates best with me. I love classical guitar find it very challenging often too much!
But I don’t give up, come back to playing and improving!
