Summary of This Method
A true cornerstone of classical guitar training, Matteo Carcassi's "Complete Method" guides the student step by step from beginner level to a solid intermediate level. Designed with a progressive logic, it emphasizes consistent technique, sound quality, and the acquisition of reliable technical reflexes essential for tackling repertoire pieces later on.
Throughout the course, you work on the left hand (positions, shifts, barre chords, transitions, legato, and articulation) and the right hand (i-m alternation, arpeggios, rhythmic stability) with targeted exercises. Fingerings are designed to promote finger independence and continuity of playing, while developing a beautiful tone and fine control of timbre.
The method also includes classical-style studies and short musical pieces, ideal for consolidating skills: staccato, inner voices, polyphonic balance, and musicality. This "technique + music" approach suits both self-study and guided lessons, fitting naturally into a conservatory framework.
Revised by Henri Rawson, this edition offers comfortable readability and coherent pedagogical organization while respecting Carcassi's original notation. A reliable choice for those seeking a complete, structured, and enduring classical guitar method.
