Complete Method for Modern Guitar

This deluxe, single-volume compilation combines all seven volumes of Mel Bay's renowned Modern Guitar Method, offering an unrivaled, comprehensive guide to mastering the fretboard. As Mr. Bay recognized the need for effective music reading, this method is designed for plectrum-style players with an emphasis on standard notation and essential theory. The volume features hundreds of graded solos ranging from beginner to advanced levels, along with duets in all keys and positions. It includes in-depth studies of all four-note rhythm chord formations on high, middle, and low sets of adjacent strings. It also includes exclusive solo arrangements not found in the original seven volumes. While designed for pick-style playing, the studies and pieces are versatile enough for fingerstyle application.


An outstanding method that leads the student to total mastery of the fretboard. No other comparable method exists for the guitar!
