20 Favorite Exercises with TAB (PDF)

20 Favorite Exercises for Classical Guitar by Bradford Werner - For Beginner to Intermediate Classical Guitarists. Great for crossover students or those looking for a quick boost. Includes Notation with TAB, Video Lessons, Fingerings, Tips. 27 Pages, PDF Download.

20 Favorite Exercises for Classical Guitar was designed for students. It is particularly good for crossover students looking to boost their classical technique fast but orderly. The book progressive so each exercise builds on the previous one. You practice by creating a model technique for the first few exercises and maintain that model as you progress to the next one. Students are often held back by the difficult reading that patterned exercises create, the inclusion of tablature will help make this book accessible to all.

Please Note: Also see my full comprehensive 122 page technique book that includes most of these exercises but with notation-only: Classical Guitar Technique – Essential Exercises, Scales, & Arpeggios
