I think the title could more accurately be "The Craft of Classical Guitar" because Duncan is not instructing the heart.
He shares in this generous book an understanding of the technical work that needs to be practiced. It's this virtuosity that frees us to express music.
Mr. Duncan has an essential understanding of the interaction between the player and the instrument.
He shares concepts through clearly written text, that is supported by useful photographs and diagrams and the highest standard of exercises and music.
the separate physical elements of guitar playing are worked on individually and as a whole.
The idea of unifying the playing of both hands and "rhythmic articulation" and the use of the shoulder and elbow: forearm of both hands, everything!
His understanding of the right hand position, sound production, tone, tambour, nail type, the right arm, wrist, thumb, and arch of the fingers.
arpeggios oh and yes SPEED for those pieces requiring it.
Oh yeah and using weight, gravity, shifting positions, the barre, he didn't leave anything out.
But here's the thing. He writes with a freshness and true sense of sharing what he loves with readers he already seems to respect and trust to work to be their best.
BUY IT!
Don't forget practice doesn't make perfect... Perfect practice makes perfect. So play slowly and error free trying to make a perfect sound in rhythm.
