Title: Best of the beginner's methods
Product review: I think this is the best of the beginner's methods for classical guitar. Parkening starts out teaching how to hold the guitar and place your hands. Other primers miss many of these points that are so important for more advanced playing. He goes from there through the strings and first notes and then starts you out playing. If you stick with the book and practice diligently you move through incrementally more difficult pieces until you are playing real classical guitar. The version of The Catalonia Song included is still one of my favorite pieces. If you want to play classical guitar this is a great place to start.
