This book is a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of the requirements for developing an effortless and musically sensitive guitar technique. Christopher Berg's purpose in the first part of the book is to present information about the abilities and limits of the different parts of the body; to explore the relationship between the function of our central nervous system and how we practice; and finally, to distill those discussions into several technical principles. The twenty-four lessons that follow explore the practical application of these concepts to specific areas of guitar technique. The extensive text and hundreds of exercises are suitable for serious guitarists of all levels.

If Mauro Giuliani were writing his famous Studio per la chittarra, Op. 1 today it is unlikely he would have limited himself to the 120 right-hand patterns he used in 1812. Christopher Berg re-imagines Giuliani’s famous technical work. Along with some of the Giuliani’s original right-hand exercises, this book contains numerous original exercises by Christopher Berg based on pieces composed since Giuliani's time and other exercises considered helpful for developing a well-rounded technique and for meeting the challenges of the guitar literature. There is abundant practice material here for guitarists of all levels.
