This is a concise guide to the technical principles upon which the best current practice in guitar playing are founded. It deals clearly with all practical aspects of playing, such as posture, tone, position-changing, chord-playing, and co-ordination, and offers advice on interpretation and practising. It includes a selected repertoire list and a most useful appendix on 'Writing for the Guitar' by Stephen Dodgson.
