"This book represents an extraordinary accomplishment: for the first time presented together, the author offers us a sequential, rigorously calibrated and breathtakingly comprehensive pedagogical resource for the classical guitarist. From the most basic elements of playing to the most difficult and sophisticated techniques in current use, Yates gives thoughtful, scholarly and above all, practical lessons. His love of both the expressive possibilities of our instrument and the tactile experience of playing it are as obvious as is his mastery of the process by which virtuosity is achieved. This book may well be the indispensable method." Stephen Aron Chair Guitar Department Oberlin Conservatory of Music "The product of a lifetime of self-critical, analytical, and insightful artistry and teaching, Yates' magnum opus is the most thoroughly comprehensive guitar technique manual I've ever seen. One finds here many of the guiding principles found in the masterful teachings of Patrick O'Brien, as well as concepts of body usage one learns in the study of the Alexander Technique. The presentation is logical, and easy to follow. This work contains something of value for even the most advanced students and teachers of the instrument, and a great deal more." Dr. Douglas James Chair Guitar Department Appalachian State University "The great guitarists make it look easy. The question is how did they achieve such a high level? Finally, the answer is found in Classical Guitar Technique from Foundation to Virtuosity. Unlock the path to developing a graceful and musically expressive playing technique." Bill Piburn Editor Fingerstyle Guitar Journal "This monumental work by Stanley Yates is both a lucid summation of guitar methodologies and an innovative advancement of instrumental theory. Read it and learn." Mark Delpriora Chair Guitar Department Manhattan School of Music Instructor Undergraduate Studies The Juilliard School
