CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
It's what I expected and better -
I received Noad's Solo Guitar Playing Book 1 today and it's all that I expected and more. The author nicely sets up each piece noting any difficulties and how to over come them. I'm looking forward to re-learning the guitar from this fine book.
The big downside many other reviewers noticed is that the book is bound so that it doesn't stay open on the music stand. I took it to the local book bindery and they cut off the spine in one clean chop. They didn't even charge me for this service. I then put holes in the pages and it's now nicely in a 3-ring binder.

review - 
This book is good. A lot of song exercises. I recommed this book to those who have an general understanding of reading music. I'm a beginner myself and found this book easy in some parts yet harder in other areas of the book. A good buy for learning to play some of many classical songs.
Wonderful Book, Made Learning classical guitar fun! -
I had been playing guitar for 5 years before I dug into classical studies. A local classical guitar instructor recommended this book to me, to get me started. I had a fairly brief knowledge to reading standard notation, but the finger notation was completely new to me. Noad went into great detail about which fingers to use where, and how the notation is ment to be read. I am now a guitar instructor myself, and I recommend my classically interested students to this book.
It starts off slow, and to new standard notation readers, this is a huge plus. Even the easier exercises sound great and are fun to work out, and are easy to figure out. Then we get into the collection of wonderful solo guitar pieces presented in this book. It has a very wide varaitey of different musics, which will help students get an idea of the defining characteristics of each genre (baroque, classical, spanish, etc). There are tons of great songs with their each own little challenges to overcome to well round your playing. This will take you from a beginner classical player to intermediate, and you will have fun while doing it. It has helped me become a better reader (classically, I do notice that my reading of jazz lines have not improved, but this book is not for that. I just kind of thought it would help with that too (for what ever reason I don't know :P ).
I am a jazz major in college, and I have a greater appreciatation of classical music, and the classical style, because of this book. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Great Book If you have a teacher helping you. -
This book is great if you have a teacher who is helping you. If you are trying to go through this book by yourself you will probably fail and become frustrated with the guitar. I do not recommend you use this book by yourself if you are starting out. Otherwise I love this book. I have a good instructor and I am learning alot. The book does not have tabs so you will be forced to read music (which is good) but harder. Buy the book with the CD so you can hear how the songs are played. I would have liked to see him include a DVD so that every musical section can be heard by the student, this is especially helpful to know if you are playing each section correctly and for the student who is trying to learn on their own.

I've owned a copy of this book for 30 years! -
I stumbled onto this book as a teenager trying to teach myself to play the guitar. I found it both easy to understand and rewarding. Eventually I went on to minor in jazz guitar in college and spent several years as a union musician. A few years ago I returned to this book (I finally replaced my old copy with a new version) when I wanted to venture into classical guitar. Almost thirty years later I found it equally as captivating and rewarding as it was in my first encounter.
Recently I decided to learn to play the English concertina, but found that there were no quality tutorials readily available, so I turned, once again, to Mr. Noad. The exercises presented in the book have been very helpful and have allowed me to feel an increasing sense of aptitude on the concertina as I step through the lessons!
Solo Guitar Playing is built on a clear, accessible methodology and a well-paced progressive learning system that stands the test of time! If you could only have one guitar instruction book, this would be the one to consider.
