    • Gateway to playing great pieces of classical guitar music, just add time, effort, and patience
I wanted to wait a while to write my review, I am no one special and have not taken any master classes, very few classes actually, just a normal person that enjoys all types of music played on guitar... What a terrific collection of classical pieces of many types. Almost want to say it's a greatest hits collection, but then folks tastes might differ. Love the TAB along with the normal musical notation. Hint, if your tab rendition does not sound like the audio (includes log in code to listen or download) read the actual music! Might help a light bulb illuminate. For me the tab useful only for initial roughing out the music, but there it's very helpful... helpful, but I wont use the word easy for any of these as playing every note perfectly might take some serious quality time and of course patience. Great news is that your time and patience will be rewarded, the pieces are to me very satisfying to learn and to play correctly. There are more virtuoso transcriptions out there, but all the pieces I have played in this book are more than suitable and instantly recognizable and appreciated in most venues. My thanks to all that brought this book to market, and a very special thanks to the author. "Thank You". Very little criticism of this book. Yes, the TAB notation typeface for me too small and at times difficult to tell a 3 from an 8, or both from a 0... for me that meant taking to an enlarging copier and upscaling to 'legal size', and I can avoid wearing glasses. I have also cut off the binding and 3 hole punched the pages so they'll lay flat. That said, the book a wealth of rewarding pieces to play and in my opinion a bargain given that it is a one stop shop for these pieces. If you are someone that is playing guitar and interested in taking on some classical repertoire to expand your sounds and skills, this Classical Guitar Compendium has my highest recommendation. Be prepared to be challenged and rewarded proportionally to the amount of effort and time you are willing to spend in it. Notice I have avoided using the term EASY anywhere in my review here. ... show more

    • 5 stars just isn't enough for this great book
I'm so happy I purchased this book based on others' reviews. It contains very logical, reasoned progression in difficulty geared towards what I would say is a late beginner or early intermediate player. The pieces are well-chosen (and beautiful) and I am learning them in the order presented, because it just makes sense. The notation and tablature are easy to read, and the recommended fingering shown is very helpful. It is also a HUGE benefit that she has recorded all of the musical pieces and tutorials and they are available for download. I only wish there was also video of her playing each piece, because I like to study how the players place their hands, move up and down the neck, etc. I quickly realized that this would be a daily use book for me, so I took it to Office Depot and spent about $5 having it spiral bound so it would lay flat on my music stand. That is the only improvement that could be made to this book, in my opinion. Thank you, Bridget, for providing this gem of a compendium. It'll take me years to make my way through it, but I intend to learn every song you've included. ... show more

    • My favorite book to get repertoire out of.
It has a lot of classic songs that you can’t find on guitar normally. But this author does a great job arranging these pieces. I want to get them all under my fingers so it’s gonna take a lot of time and patience to be able to say I’ve got them even then there will be more to learn.

    • Great selection of classical music. Includes audio demos.
Great selection of music with both musical and tab notation. Includes digital code to download author playing all of the pieces. Biggest complaint is that it does not include right or left hand fingering for us beginners. The print is also somewhat light making it a little hard to read. Price is reasonable. Happy with my purchase. ... show more

    • Great Place to Start your Classical Journey
The book starts with exercises to build your techniques for the songs to follow. Even the darn exercises are fun to play. You will need some skill to perform the songs, but the great part of learning these is you can take it nice and slow and build up to whatever speed you want, its not the same as playing a Metallica song that has a defined tempo. The songs are interesting, some are recognizable to me. If you are a tetris fan this includes the two "tetris" songs, haha! Bridget did a great job at arranging. I liked this book so much I bought another Bridget book. ... show more

    • Great selection and well-written tablature!
Bought this as a gift for my husband for his birthday! He has already spent hours playing through it page by page, enjoying the range of difficulty and selection as he does not recognize all of the artists within its pages. Definitely a good purchase for someone who likes a range of pieces and arrangements. ... show more

    • One of the best
I have a number of classical guitar books, many of them with the same pieces in various transcription. This book , however, has a number of unexpected and very wonderful transcriptions - basically advanced beginner to intermediate , maybe some a little beyond that. All the transcriptions have depth and sonority and bring out the beauty of the guitar. There is also a link to downloadable audio files played by the author. I highly recommend this guitar compendium. Contents: 33 pages of technical studies - Sor, Tarrega, Giuliani, Carcassi and Aguado. The remaining 123 pages include works by Bach - Air on G String, Jesu Joy, Cello Suite 1 Beethoven - Adagio from Pathetique, Fur Elise, Moonlight Sonata Brahms - Lullaby Chopin - Nocturne Opus 9 -2, Prelude Opus 28 -20 Debussy - Claire de Lune, La Fille aux Cheveux Delibes - Flower Duet Faure - Pavane Grieg - Mountain King, Morning Mood Peer Gynt Masenent - Thais Mozart - Clarinet Concerto 2nd, Piano Concerto 21, Rondo alla Turca Pachelbel - Canon D ( book's version played by Michael Christian Durrant on you tube) Puccini - Nessun Dorma Ravel - Bolero Satie - Gnossienne 1; Gymnopedie 1 and 2 Schubert - Ave Maria Schumann Träumerei Tchaikovsky - Dance of Sugar Plum Fairy Verdi - La forza del Destino Wagner - Ride of the Valkyries ... show more
