Mel Bay Modern Guitar Method Grade 1
I was 17 years old teaching at Ernie Ball's Guitar Shop in Tarzana, California.  That's where I met Mel Bay through a workshop he taught. It was then that I took myself through  his 7 book guitar method the first time which was very instrumental toward my professional training.  Now, all these years later just I completed the updated expanded edition of the 7 book method.  It is a beautiful workout and journey of graded material including: 1. Reading studies in all keys and  positions. 2.Beautiful chord melodies ranging from classical to folk, blues, jazz and latin in style.  3. Theory is an integral part of this method presenting harmonized chord forms, studies in thirds and  triads and quartal harmony in all keys. 4. Technical development and challenge and strong musicality  frame this great work.  This production is in my opinion the consumate guitar method which I recommend as a must to all  serious guitarists.  Congratulations to William Bay for this masterpiece. --Michael Anthony
