Methodically selected songs - consistently small steps: Fridolin's Guitar Coach is a new volume of the popular guitar school that can be used both as a play and practice book and as a stand-alone textbook. The guitar coach accompanies anyone who wants to make rapid progress from the first note to two-part playing. Guitar playing from sheet music is learnt as if by chance, as the focus is not on etudes and exercises, but on over 100 songs, folk songs and pop compositions.

pour former au sentiment du rhythme et a l'expression Stephen Heller (1813–1888), a Hungarian pianist, composer and teacher, combined technical training with musical expression in his études. The Dix Études pour former au sentiment du rythme et à l’expression focus in particular on rhythm, phrasing and articulation. This edition contains an arrangement for guitar by Andrés Paléologo , making Heller’s expressive repertoire of études accessible to guitarists.

Introductory Exercises and Short Pieces This method introduces guitar students progressively to playing in different positions on the guitar through a series of introductory exercises and short pieces. It is intended primarily as a supplement to and extension of standard guitar methods, which tend to focus extensively on first-position playing while devoting comparatively little attention to playing in other positions. To make the material more appealing to students, at the heart of the method are student–teacher guitar duets. The student’s deliberately simple guitar part is musically supported and sustained by the teacher’s playing, providing a musical framework in which the student can gradually become familiar with playing in different positions.
