Frederick Noad (1929-2001), “First Book for the Guitar – Complete”
Book. 200 Pages.

(Guitar Technique). An extremely thorough beginning method, First Book is the best choice for young beginners. It is available as an omnibus edition which contains three parts. Part One deals with the notes of the first position,  and music reading and counting up to the eighth note.  Part Two covers new keys and scales, the technique of slurs, and simple and compound time signatures. Part Three explores dotted notes and more advanced counting, syncopation, dynamics and tone production. Each part contains a repertoire of attractive solos and duets drawn from the guitar composers, together with arrangements of Spanish and other folk themes.
