Music SalesSolo Guitar Playing Book 1 - 4th Edition Book/CD By Noad
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The first volume of Noad's solo guitar course, book plus CD, for someone learning to play complete pieces on their own.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Self-teaching guitarists who want a structured first volume
- Players moving from strumming chords toward playing full pieces
- Checking your own playing against recorded examples on the CD
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a quick chord-and-strum songbook
- Laptops without a disc drive — the audio is CD only
- Players already past foundational material
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
4th edition
A revised printing of a long-running course. Page and exercise numbers may not match older copies in a class.
Detail 03
Book 1
The opening volume of a sequence, so it covers foundations rather than advanced repertoire.
Detail 04
Solo guitar focus
Built around playing melody and accompaniment yourself, not backing a singer or sitting in a band.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01You need a CD drive, or an external one, to hear the audio
- 02Guitar, tuner, and stand are not included — print and disc only
- 03Confirm the edition your teacher assigns before ordering, since numbering shifts between editions
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does a guitar come with this?
No. You get the printed book and the CD. The instrument is separate.
02Can a complete beginner start here?
Yes. It is book one of the course, so it begins with foundations rather than assuming earlier volumes.
03Is the audio a download?
No. It comes as a CD in the package. If you would rather not carry a disc, rip it to your phone once and work from that.
04Do I need the CD to use the book?
No. The book works on its own. The disc gives you audio examples to compare your playing against.
