Master Your Guitar: Accessible Music Theory for Measurable Progress!

Written by Amy Hite, Music Professor, MM Classical Guitar Performance.

"I have rarely had the good fortune to have in my hands a method of learning guitar that is clear, progressive, simple to approach, and that respects an extremely well-realized organization of learning progression such as the Music Theory for Guitar workbook series by Amy Hite. This is an excellent method, which enables both aspiring musicians and teachers who need a good teaching aid with progression."
