Good Points
- Standard Notation including Tablature
- A good array of piece. 50 Favorites by 26 Composers
- Left Hand Fingering Included
Bad Points
- No Audio CD
- No commentary for piece, not even an Book Introduction
- Pieces can be named better i.e Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring should be prefixed with BWV147
Final Words
The Classical Guitar Collection is intended for intermediate to Advance Guitarist. 168 pages packed with 50 pieces by 26 composers. The downside is that it doesn’t come with a CD so you might have to do some google for tracks. Also you are left on your own as there is no text whatsoever for background history and piece description. I would still recommend it since it does contain a wide selection of pieces. Get your copy of The Classical Guitar Collection by Joseph Harris.
