(Guitar Method). An outstanding source for the technique and repertoire of the classical guitar; this book continues where Vol. 1 leaves off. It teaches: all notes in the upper position; tone production; advanced techniques such as tremolo; harmonics; vibrato; pizzicato and slurs; practice tips; stylistic interpretation; and more. The first half of the book deals primarily with technique; while the second half of the book applies the technique with repertoire pieces.

Review
1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Waiting is a hard for some of us!By W. Joyce WhiteI looked the play up in Wiki who wrote the play was "a metaphor for thefutility of mans existence when salvation is expected from an externalentity; and the self is denied introspection." I agree.We find happiness from within. I enjoyed dipping into Lawleys study aswell as Wikis interpretations. I got interested in this subject aftera comment to one of my poems. I was asked once if I was waiting lostlove or Godot? For those who haven read the play and enjoyed its manypossibilities: There are four main characters: Vladimir; Estragon; Posso and Lucky.Much like the TV series; Seinfeld; the play was about nothing really;just hanging out conversing about life; death andlater suicide. Like Seinfeld there were four maincharacters in conflict with one anothers philosophy of life. Theykept each other company. This is what many of us do onpaper; were always trying to find our art from in betweenthe pages of our lives.Because the play was so simple; many tried reading inhidden metaphors. Some thought Godot was actuallyGod. Maybe; the four main characters wereat Heavens gate awaiting Gods approval for salvationand entry into heaven. Simplicity makesgreat writing. In the movie; "7 days and 7 nights;"Harrison Ford; said something to like; "I want tocomplicate the hell out of my life." I think aswriters and readers of writing; we all want tocomplicate the hell out of true art. We strive forhidden meanings behind all we do.The following is my poem Salvation Boundin homage to the play "Waiting for Godotz:ACT 1Estragon and Vladimirs spirit has ascended to the mountaintops and are now looking back from which they cameEstragon removes his boot from his foot; halfexpecting to find more than nothing there;Vladimir tipped his hat half expecting to find moreThan nothing there;Both are self-absorbed; hungry for salvation;One angry and rude; One gentle and weak;They didnt know why they needed Godot; just knewthey were supposed to meet him by a tree; there is one nearby;of this they were sure; but nothing else;Vladimirs cry is shrill and loud; an angry philosopher-type;Estragon was meek; self-absorbed; and preoccupied with easing his own hunger and pain?Both were weary and anxious to meet Godot so they couldMove on. I dont know if this was move on "in death or life." "Where was Godot? They cried. They eventually losttrack of time. "Was he to be here yesterday or today?"A slave called Lucky soon arrived in tow by his master; Posso;All four began doing a swap-hat dance; each believingTheir hats were magical and they wantedto know how it felt to be someone else.Lucky sang them all a song about an inhospitable earth; where"A slave diminishes in a world that does notnurture him." Maybe; he was named Lucky becausehe had no expectations. I think all humans will diminish in a worldwith no expectations or nurturing from others.Lucky and Posso departed.A small messenger boy appeared; once again; "Godot; my master;will not be coming today; but surely tomorrow he will." Both wereinvisibly tied to the arrival of Godot and could not leave. Theywere honor-bound to wait.Act IIBoth Vladimir and Estragon seem to be living the same dayover and over; just like in the movies; Ground Hog or 51st Date;And every night Vladimir sang a maternal lullaby to Estragon as headopted the fetal position of a child in sleep.Posso and Lucky appeared once again; this time their rolesreversed; Lucky was leading Posso by a shorter rope. Possowas now blind. The slave Lucky did not run away. He still hadno expectations and he stayed faithful as Posso reflects;"They give birth astride of a Grave; the lightgleams an instant; then its night; Once more."And the messenger boy appears once again; Godot; mymaster; will not be coming today; but surely tomorrow hewill." The two consider hanging themselves with Estragonsbelt. It broke in two and Estragons pants fell down and hedidnt care They are stooges trapped somewhere in betweenfreedom and imprisonment; and a grave and a gleam of light.Kudos to Lawley for taking on a classic. So many of us forgetit is the past that leads us into today. Sincerely; Joyce White
