Simply Guitar: Book 2

by Vincent Lindsey-Clark and Alexander MacDonald

Book Two builds on the basic mechanical techniques learnt in the first volume of Simply Guitar, Through thirty seven dedicated new compositions the Spanish guitar Student encounters the basic interpretative skills that will enable him to play with greater musicality and expression.

Part One covers higher positions and their associated keys, together with skills needed to move around the fingerboard. Part Two considers three aspects of articulation: damping open bass strings, staccato playing and slur techniniuque. Part Three deals with the right hand: tonal range (ponti/tasto), accents and dynamic balance between voices. Finally there are five pieces considering different expressive effects: pitch control, vibrato, tremolando, tempo variation and harmonics. Although this sequence has some logic to it, feel free to adapt it according to your teaching circumstances.
