Songs are great for students to learn but some arrangements are not good enough for professional settings.By IsaacThere are many songs in here for different levels. Some of my favorites are Prelude of the Cello Solo No. 1; Recuerdos de la Alhambra; and Dance of the Sugar Plum fairy - they are the reason for my rating of five stars. I think that the written music just above the tab manuscript is a great way for students to learn sheet music quickly. About half of the songs are not good enough for professional gigs; however. Shame that something called The Huge Book of Classical Guitar Solos doesnt have "The Harmonious Blacksmith"; which is a very popular tune.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. If you read TABBy Viane FryeMy daughter reads TAB more easily than regular notation and she plays classical guitar; so was happy to get this collection as a Christmas gift. She liked the great variety of pieces and is having no trouble with any of them. Good for her; great for me to hear her play!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Broad selection; but questionable arrangementsBy EddThe biggest disappointment is the false advertisement in the preview of the website where the "Arrangements by" includes a well-known respected classical guitarist; teacher (USC); and author Scott Tennant; but his name is absent in my copy of the book (see photo). It was a selling point for me on the books legitimacy concerning musical arrangements; especially to justify the price. Overall; a lot of selections; large and sharp print; finger suggestions; reference pages on notation tablature; the book can stay open on a chair (sometimes w/ binder clip). The books dimensions are similar to a binder (12" tall; 9" wide; 1" thick). Would I attend a class if this was a required text?: no. 4 stars because the arrangements are probably not one would expect; but there are some fun pieces.
