Guitar 101 is a comprehensive and easy-to-use beginner's guitar method suitable for students from middle school through high school. Middle school students can complete these materials over the course of two years of classroom instruction and high school students within 1 year.studyguitar CNPMethods

In addition to over 100 songs, exercises, solo and ensemble pieces in a variety of styles, this complete method includes full color diagrams, photographs and illustrations that answer all the questions that typically arise for the beginning student of guitar. Presented in a workbook format that includes test pages, flash cards and a CD with over 50 tracks, Guitar 101 takes beginner guitarists through the learning process in a step by step program that is diverse and entertaining for both students and teachers alike.

This method is the culmination of a nearly 20 year collaboration between music educators Kevin Vigil and John Graham. Both have worked to improve musical literacy for guitarists from the beginning level by testing these materials in their own classrooms, and with other guitar teachers. By incorporating a variety of musical styles, (classical, traditional, blues, folk and rock) this method heightens student interest by allowing them to explore the beginning techniques, concepts and applications for several different well-defined and popular genres. As the student progresses toward higher levels of playing, they naturally lean toward one type of self-expression or another. By introducing such variety at an early stage of development Guitar 101 nurtures natural creative tendencies in ways that can't occur by learning one style of music alone.
