Guitar

Jonathan Leathwood, Richard Wright

Here is a book that will transform how you play and think about the classical guitar and its music. - Emmanuel Sowicz The guitar is one of the most popular instruments in the world, but what does it take to become a fully rounded classical guitarist? In a systematic sequence of chapters, Jonathan Leathwood and Richard Wright offer a fresh perspective on technique, interpretation, learning, practicing and repertoire, drawing on a huge variety of composers and works, including a separate exploration of Bach. A final section explores the guitarist as collaborator, with advice on how to make the guitar sound at its best in the company of other instruments and how to work with non-guitarist composers. Throughout the book, musical examples from key works illuminate the points discussed.

The authors bring their vast experience as teachers and performers to this book, which will intrigue and inspire anyone interested in the art of the guitar.

An invaluable addition to the immensely successful Yehudi Menuhin Music Guides, this book brings exciting new insights into the study and performance of the classical guitar repertoire.
