The Guitarist's Progress

This is a unique and exciting resource for guitarists; Four concurrent series follow the same basic progression, making it easy for them to be used in tandem. Indeed the 'Duet and Ensemble' series is designed to be used with the 'Solo' series and the 'Repertoire' series and 'Young Guitarist's Progress' series were also written to complement each other. The 'Travelling in Style' and 'Certain Hits!' series can be used alongside any of these. Each individual book can be used in conjunction with any guitar books. However, used collectively, they provide one of the most comprehensive and popular introductions available to guitarists today.

David Burden

Founder and author, David Burden, won the Julian Bream Guitar Prize while studying at the Royal Academy of Music. In addition to his many books written for Garden Music he has had much of his music published by, among others, BBC EMI and OUP. In 2007 he was elected an ARAM (Associate of the Royal Academy of Music) by its governing body in recognition of his contribution to the profession.

The Guitarist's Progress is the fruit of many years teaching experience, providing teachers and pupils with a wealth of attractive music within a common approach.
