From Scott Tennant, author of Pumping Nylon, this series starts the absolute beginner with the parts of the guitar, correct playing position, notes on the fretboard, reading music, and basic techniques for both hands. The rest stroke, block chords and more essential classical techniques are covered in Book 2, plus key signatures, more advanced rhythms, and early studies by Sor, Carulli, and others. 48 pages each.
