Siciliano by Carcassi and Farewell Technique Routines Technique Routines for the Right and Left Hands If you enjoyed the book you can support the site here. Visit the Lessons Page for more videos that compliment this book. I have a dedicated beginner lesson page as well. The above video lessons are for the 2019/2020 edition. What’s new in the
2020 edition? It’s the same pieces and page numbers as the 2019 edition.

I’ve added some extra tips and explanations to help students understand the directions more clearly and updated a bunch of the video lessons. What books should I use along with your method? My method should have everything you need for now but if you want additional materials here’s a few options. For theory knowledge I recommend
the Berklee Theory Book 1 which is pretty good and has an answer key at the end and audio samples to download for listening and musicianship. However, here’s my list of Music Theory Books. Having theory knowledge is really going to help, a lot.

But it’s not completely necessary until my Volume 2 book. First, you just want to get playing. For extra reading practice try Sight Reading for the Classical Guitar by Robert Benedict. I also really like The Cornerstone Method by Simon Powis as it does not duplicate material but has a very similar approach. What is a good daily routine for a beginner? I
recommend a technique warmup (included in the back of the book), some review of previous easier material, some sight reading, and then dedicated work on the few pieces that you are currently working on. 15-20 minutes of solid uninterrupted practice everyday is a good goal for a beginner. Anything beyond that is a bonus. As you become more
advanced you can increase the practice time. You might also want to watch some lesson videos before you begin to remind you of a few things you might have forgotten or just to pick up tips for the future. Even watching videos that are more advanced than where you are at or something you are not working can still help you learn. You can find tons
of lesson at the lesson page. Watching so pros play daily would be good too, absorb the culture and technique just by observing. See my dedicated lesson: How to Practice Music and Organize Your Practice Session Should I memorize the pieces and should I keep them in my repertoire? Although I’m not strict about memorization with my students, I do
believe that we play better when the piece is memorized. Also, our brains seem to get used to it as a habit and memorizes more efficiently if we do it regularly. So, I highly recommend you memorize your pieces but don’t be too hard on yourself, just do a little bit of memory work everyday and see how it goes. When should I move onto the next piece?
Aim for a confident playing of the piece. As a basic check you might put a metronome on and be able to play through it as that is a common issue. Aim for an even rhythm, nice tone, arched phrases, and a prominent melody. I encourage students to stick with pieces for awhile to see how they ‘settle’ into the piece in terms of relaxation. It’s important
to dive deeper into musicality after you have accomplished the basic physical movements. A large part of what teachers do is to just raise the musical bar and get students to strive for higher levels of musicality so you’ll want to push yourself in that regard to ensure you are not just settling for a past standard (up your personal level every piece). In
the end it’s up to you but try to feel confident and happy with your performance.
