Classical Guitar Method Volume 1 by Bradford Werner. Free PDF sheet music for classical guitar (102 pages). This book teaches beginner guitar skills with a focus on the rich pedagogical tradition of classical guitar. Most learning objectives are covered through pieces and duets with free video lessons allowing students to perform full pieces from the first lesson. A qualified teacher or following the free lesson videos should provide students with a healthy start to playing music on the guitar. This is the 2020 edition. Also see Volume Two to continue learning. If you like the book you can support the site here.

Video lessons and articles are an essential part of using my method. Follow the lessons in the order below. Also see the list of additional tips and lessons at the bottom. You can start the technique routines and chords anytime.

What is a good daily routine for a beginner? I recommend a technique warmup (included in the back of the book), some review of previous easier material, some sight reading, and then dedicated work on the few pieces that you are currently working on. 15-20 minutes of solid uninterrupted practice everyday is a good goal for a beginner. Anything beyond that is a bonus. As you become more advanced you can increase the practice time. You might also want to watch some lesson videos before you begin to remind you of a few things you might have forgotten or just to pick up tips for the future. Even watching videos that are more advanced than where you are at or something you are not working can still help you learn. You can find tons of lesson at the lesson page. Watching so pros play daily would be good too, absorb the culture and technique just by observing. See my dedicated lesson: How to Practice Music and Organize Your Practice Session

The FJH Young Beginner Guitar Method is a well-conceived, graded guitar method designed especially for the younger beginner.

The FJH Young Beginner Guitar Method addresses the National Standards for Arts Education.

The Acoustic Guitar Method is the only beginning guitar method based on traditional American music that teaches you authentic techniques and songs. From the folk, blues, and old-time music of yesterday have come the rock, country, and jazz of today. Now you can begin understanding, playing, and enjoying these essential traditions and styles on the instrument that truly represents American music, the acoustic guitar.

Whether you are studying with a teacher or on your own, let the Acoustic Guitar Method be your guide to the joys and pleasures of playing guitar. This comprehensive approach, with graded lessons and supplementary songs, is the one tool you need to get started.

"An excellent method! Engaging musical examples combined with uncommon sense exercises (written from the perspective of the beginner's mind) provide for and encourage a painless learning experience. The acoustic guitar has a new diplomatic handbook in David Hamburger's text!"

The Essential Elements Guitar Method approaches guitar playing from a different angle. It starts off with teaching three string chords and having students strum along for a few pages. This builds confidence in hesitant players, but I also find that students (particularly high school) get bored with that fairly quickly. It then adds first fret position notes, starting on the High E string then quickly adds a D7 chord to the mix. It continues to follow a similar pattern, having students strum along with songs that should pique their interest, while leaving the melodies extra simple. This book goes through more

chords in book one than almost any other method I have seen, which if your goal is to produce good chord strummers, this is a book high on the option list for you. Again, there is little tablature notation, only bringing it in for some fingerstyle and some power chords at the end of the book. There is also a book two in this series, but again, tablature is limited, making this method potentially harder for your differently abled learners. Book two continues the learning of chords and strumming interspersed with melodies that get progressively harder. Again, this could be the right method for you if you are looking to build guitarists that know and accompany lots of songs.

Where Hal Leonard shines is the wealth of supplementary resources that tie in with either of these methods. Under the essential elements banner there are several guitar ensemble books that will enable you to gear small group instruction to the level of student. Do you have students that read music exceptionally well? Give them a trio from one of the intermediate books. Do you have some students that need reinforcement on the beginning techniques? Give them a trio from one of the mid-beginner books. The only drawback is these do not have tablature notation, but I spend the time making the resources the best for my students, using a notation software like MuseScore (available for free!) add the tablature. This helps me cover IEP/504 compliance as best as I can, by creating the learning resources my students need to be successful. Hal Leonard also publishes several pop solo books and holiday books that are appropriate for class. Again, no tablature in some of these, but they do offer tablature in several, like the holiday books and a Disney book. I usually take one of my final playing test options from a J.S. Bach book for easy guitar that has tablature.

Overall, Hal Leonard guitar methods are widely available and are good for teaching class guitar. Like any method you have to ask yourself what do you want your students to get out of your class, and choose the best method (or methods) for the learners you have.
