  • DESCRIPTION
    The Christopher Parkening - Guitar Method Vol.2

    The second volume of The Christopher Parkening Guitar Method is based on the same premise as the first: to learn guitar technique and musicianship by playing beautiful pieces of music. Practicing is more enjoyable and rewarding while working on exciting and inspiring compositions instead of dry exercises.
    This present volume is divided into two main sections. Part One deals with learning notes in upper positions (Volume One covers only the first position) and introduces many new techniques. Part Two consists of repertoire that enables the student to develop technique and musicianship more fully. This section is arranged by period or style, rather than by difficulty. Thus, the student is able to choose his own music and gain a perspective on guitar literature as a whole. Also, what is easy for one student may be difficult for another, so grading pieces at this level is nearly impossible. In fact, the student may wish to attempt pieces from the repertoire section of this book while still studying from the technique section. Use this book flexibly, modifying it to meet your own individual needs.
    It is important to keep musicality as the final goal, with technique only a means to an end. Strive for a beautiful sound on each piece. Fully explore the nuances of style and interpretation, which I will later cover in detail.
    Above all, strive for personal excellence. True success is not measured by worldly accomplishment or by comparison with others. Rather, it is working with diligence, to the best of your ability, toward achieving excellence in whatever task you have set before you.
