This item is a PDF Download. 42 Pages. 2019 Edition. By Bradford Werner.
Hardcopy (Grade 1-2) available via: Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.au, and more local Amazon stores.
This book teaches classical guitar repertoire at approximately the grade two level. This level is appropriate for students who have completed my Volume 1 and Volume 2 Method Books and the Grade One Repertoire Lesson book. Whereas Grade 1 focused mainly on chords and melody, this book dives deeper into technique, fingering choices, and introduces a number of new musical ideas. The image samples on your left show examples. That said, students should continue to play the melody and chord shapes using the knowledge they gained in grade 1.
Contents - Each piece has two or three pages of lessons followed by a proper performance edition of the piece.
- The Passemeze Pavin - Anonymous Renaissance Lute
- Andantino in A Minor, Op.59 by Matteo Carcassi - Classical, A minor to A major
- Allegretto in E Minor, Op.59 by Matteo Carcassi - Classical, E minor to E major
- Espanoleta (Theme) by Gaspar Sanz - Baroque, Intro to Ornaments (Trills)
- Lantururu by Gaspar Sanz - Baroque, Upper Positions
- Romanza by Johann Kaspar Mertz - Romantic, Melody and Lush Accompaniment

FYI, Espanoleta is also in my Easy Classical Guitar Vol.1 with slight differences. Cover image is just for promotion, the PDF is a text cover.

All the lessons are clear and easy to follow. I’m impressed with the detailed guidance given in each piece…. No matter the level.
Great to hear Michiel. Thanks for the feedback.
Everything is organised and student friendly. Materials and teaching videos are clear and easy to follow. This is Classical Guitar gets the student interested, motivated and inspired. The site is continuously kept up to date including latest videos of prominent guitarists around the world. I am truly grateful to have this site as a support and a resource.
Thanks so much for the feedback. Also, great that you mentioned the site and seeing players as that is the reason I started it all in the first place.
I’ve just started Grade 2, as in all prior course work, I find Bradford’s approach to teaching very practical. Each lesson is explained in detail and presented in such a manner that allows each student to progress at their own abilities. His no pressure approach to teaching should assure any potential student that Bradford cares about his students and the sheer joy of playing music, no matter what their skill level may be.
Thank you Bradford for a course designed for those people who love music!
That is great to hear Thomas. Thanks for sharing that feedback!
As all previous course work, Bradford has once again presented an EXCELLENT example of how to teach classical guitar.
Thank you
This book is excellent! Fantastic step-by-step instructions which are easy to follow, super clear edition of the music itself and a wonderful varied choice of pieces. Thoroughly enjoyable as all other music I have ordered from Werner Guitar Editions!
Thanks so much for the feedback, so glad you've enjoyed it.
Happy practicing!
