About this collection

Guitar Methods & Instruction

You'll find beginner-friendly courses like Alfred's Kid's Guitar Course and Alfred's Basic Guitar Method alongside specialized methods for fingerstyle, jazz, and classical styles. Many titles include online audio and video to support your practice, and the range of creators—from Ron Manus to Scott Tennant to Aaron Shearer—means you can choose instruction that matches your learning style and musical goals.

Who it's for

  • Parents and teachers introducing young children to guitar
  • Adult beginners starting from scratch with structured methods
  • Classical and fingerstyle guitarists seeking technique-focused instruction

What's inside

  • Beginner through advanced method books, from absolute beginner to intermediate and advanced levels
  • Multiple formats: print books with online audio, enhanced CDs, digital downloads, and video-supported courses
  • Specialized tracks including jazz ensemble methods, classical technique series, and genre-focused instruction (blues, rock, Latin, metal)

Things to consider

Start by matching the method to your student's age and prior music experience: Ron Manus's Kid's Guitar Course works well for young learners, while Alfred's Basic Guitar Method and Belwin's 21st Century Guitar Method serve general-age beginners. If your student has classical aspirations, titles like Pumping Nylon and Classic Guitar Technique will build proper technique from the start. Check
