Best books to learn Classical guitar, in order
Classical guitar splits into two skills that must grow together in the right order: right-hand tone and left-hand fretting, both tied to reading notation. A sound path opens with a graded method that builds rest-stroke tone and reading at once, layers in etudes by Sor and Carcassi to isolate technique, then adds repertoire. Learn by tab and ear alone and you hit a ceiling; build the method and the standard literature stays open to you.
