The Classical Guitar Companion is an anthology of guitar exercises, etudes, and pieces organized according to technique or musical texture. Expert author Christopher Berg, a veteran guitar instructor, bring together perspectives as an active performing artist and as a teacher who has trained hundreds of guitarists to encourages students to work based on their own strengths and weaknesses. The book opens with "e;Learning the Fingerboard"e;, a large section devoted to establishing a thorough knowledge of the guitar fingerboard through a systematic and rigorous study of scales and fingerboard harmony, which will lead to ease and fluency in sight-reading and will reduce the time needed to learn a repertoire piece. The following sections "e;Scales and Scale Studies"e;, "e;Repeated Notes"e;, "e;Slurs"e;, "e;Harmony"e;, "e;Arpeggios"e;, "e;Melody with Accompaniment"e;, "e;Counterpoint"e; and "e;Florid or Virtuoso Studies"e; each contain text and examples that connect material to fingering practices of composers and practice strategies to open a path to interpretive freedom in performance. The Classical Guitar Companion will serve as a helpful companion for many years of guitar study.
