I m a complete beginner in Classical Guitar. I initially watched Bradford's videos and downloaded the method books, whilst following a couple of other Classical Guitar starter books. After a couple of months I realised my technique was not developing well. So I downloaded the technique book and started practicing them. Though I struggled initially, even the simpler LH and RH exercise have helped a lot. One thing I realised after a month or so, is that I did not need to work through the book in order. Rather, I could try the simpler technique exercises from various sections, instead of feeling I had to be perfect at, say LH Alignment, before moving on. So I tried some simple slides and arpegion exercises whilst building up my LH and RH technique. This has given me confidence I am progressing. Overall I have found Bradford's videos and workbooks inspirational and the best resource on the internet for Classical Guitar advice. The book really complements his videos, or rather the videos, really complement the Techniques book. As a beginner I have found these to be really helpful. Thank you Bradford.

I played guitar for a year when i was a teenager. Now that i'm in my 30's, i wanted to pick it up again. I always loved finger picking when i was young so i decided to pursue classical guitar. I stumbled across Werner's site and youtube channel and am blown away by the quality of lessons. I have had no issues going from lesson to lesson with no realistic guitar experience (I hadn't touched one in 15 years!). The progression is logical and flows effortlessly from lesson to lesson. Once I make it through this lesson book, i will not hesitate to pick up volume 2! Thank you Werner!

You are such a good teacher. Thank you for this tutorial.

Really enjoying Bradford's books and videos. Great source for self-learning. With the help of his website I have progressed from complete beginner to probably about level 2 / 3. Only play for my own enjoyment, too old to have time left to become an expert.

Great playing on this and fantastic explanation of the music. I really learnt a lot from watching this video. Amazing teaching thank you.

Beautiful, simple arrangement

Summer Christmas is on its way to the Antipodes, and your truly beautiful rendition of Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel took me right back to many happy winter Christmases in the North. A simple, but absolutely gorgeous piece (along with the others in this great edition) to play on the big day !!!

Easy to sight read and the arrangements sound like you are more accomplished.

This is such a pretty piece. I love playing it!

I just completed method book two and am beginning to work on the first grade book. I think Bradford Werner's method of teaching is extremely effective. I can actually read the music! I can often pick up a piece of music that I want to play and play at least the melody line. Bradford Werner's advice about getting confident with one piece, getting musical with it, is really important. I had been ignoring this and then discovered I had a whole collection of pieces none of which I could play well. I did damage control! People are commenting on my legato and saying how much I have improved. I tell them, that's Bradford Werner! Thank you for your lessons and videos! I am loving this!

What delightful little pieces these are. The music is very soothing, beautifully played and I hope to learn these pieces one day.

It is really perfect to progress in music.No lot of teachers talk and teach like you do about melodies.

Moreover, as you are playing with such delicacy and sensitivity , I confess you make me want to play the same.

It’s just beautiful, so beautiful now that I don’t care about level, I just want to play nice melodies and do like you: to take big pleasure while playing.

Thank you very much, dear professor.

So beautiful and so cool to play this piece, thanks a lot.
It is more and more a pleasure to listen you playing guitar.

Very, Very useful lessons. They are helping me so much! Thanks

This is the best Fernando Sor Op.60 studies that I have seen. It is well fingered, clean, neatly done and easy to purchase. I have printed this out and attached it to the same binder using plastic insert with Bradford Werner Exploring the Fretboard for intermediate guitar. Thank you Bradford Werner, John Offutt
