A Modern Approach to Classical Guitar: Composite Edition (Books 1, 2 and 3) | Charles Duncan | Guitar Sheet Music Method Book with Online Audio | Includes Books 1 2 and 3 in One Convenient Volume

A Modern Approach to Classical Guitar: Composite Edition by Charles Duncan is a classical guitar method that brings together Books 1, 2, and 3 of one of the most widely recognized guitar instruction courses into a single comprehensive volume. Designed for private lessons, classroom environments, and self-directed practice, this edition supports guitarists and teachers working through classical guitar technique, music reading, exercises, duets, and solo repertoire. The collection covers rest stroke and free stroke technique, open chords, melody playing, scale and chord studies, accompaniment styles, ornamentation, tremolo, harmonics, barre chords, and performance repertoire. The integrated format allows players and teachers to work from a single reference rather than managing multiple volumes. Included with the book is access to online audio featuring more than 100 professional recordings of exercises, solos, and duet accompaniments. These recordings provide valuable listening support for refining rhythm, phrasing, timing, and tone. Audio can be streamed or downloaded and used with Hal Leonard's PLAYBACK+ player, which offers features such as tempo adjustment without pitch changes, looping, key changes, and stereo balance control. For musicians interested in classical guitar literature and technique while exploring progressively expanded musical content, this collection offers a practical and enduring resource.
