I am just getting into it the course. So far it is great.
β€” Daniel Stites

Excellent exercises and technique building for guitarists of all levels. Good arrangements of songs, some of which I believe are authors original. Good compliment to her first book.
β€” Cadillac Jack
β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
This book was carefully written and compiled for lovers of Spanish and classical guitar. The tunes include lovely well-known and obscure pieces as well as some original pieces composed by the author. It truly has something for everyone at every level of their guitar journey.

I am not a young chap by any means however, I have played the guitar in my youth but not classical/Spanish styles. Section 4 will keep me going for a while especially, that stubborn little finger trying to reach those frets. Anyway, I really enjoyed the course, a few Christmas and Spanish songs, I hope to learn and I believe I will. Thank you so much Edina, I have been practicing daily so, once I can play a few songs, I will look into some of your other courses. I would like to add that, I liked most of the songs provided especially, Rain.

A great place here to choose the favorite arrangements and put them on to the repertoire list, especially for me who don’t play much Spanish flavor tunes or so…I don’t have much Flamenco guitar background yet I have found it helpful to get support from section explaining the related technique so as to play those arrangements; …i skipped the first few sections as i m not a complete beginner, i roughly went thru watching the performance sections and am now working on the arrangements i picked that i m gonna used later on….thank you Edina, ..am waiting for more wonderful courses

Great Book

I've just started working my way through the exercises in the book, and so far I've found the explanation of the music theory and techniques logical and easier to follow than most other books I've tried.

EXCELLENT

I am a big fan of Edina’s book. She is an excellent teacher, and her books are clear, well-organized, and easy to follow, while still helping me improve my skills tremendously. Highly recommended. I am a professional musician and have already added several songs from this book to my regular repertoire. Amazing!
