(Guitar Method). An outstanding source for the technique and repertoire of the classical guitar, this book continues where Vol. 1 leaves off. It teaches: all notes in the upper position; tone production; advanced techniques such as tremolo, harmonics, vibrato, pizzicato and slurs; practice tips; stylistic interpretation; and more. The first half of the book deals primarily with technique, while the second half of the book applies the technique with repertoire pieces. As a special bonus, this book includes 32 previously unpublished Parkening edition pieces by composers including Dowland, Bach, Scarlatti, Sor, Tarrega and others, plus three guitar duets.

(Guitar Method). Book 2 includes studies and songs in the keys of C, G, D, Em, and F, syncopations and dotted rhythms, more advanced strums, the most common 1st position chords, solos, bass runs and a variety of styles from bluegrass to blues-rock. A great selection of traditional songs including: Simple Gifts * Mamma Don't 'Low * Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms * Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring * and many more.

Monster Guitar Method Volume Two teaches you how to transpose all the scales taught in volume one into different keys. You'll be able to figure out what chords go with any given key (chord harmony), how to match major and minor scales in the same key (relative minor), and borrowing notes or chords from different keys (parallel). This volume expands on the rhythmic notation taught in the last installment, and shows you how to use it for funk riffs and other styles. Techniques like hammer-ons, pull-offs, and harmonics are also covered. Included are an instructional booklet and jam-along CD.
