Media Comments:(...)A publication that is relevant and enjoyable to use on your own as it is in a tutorial setting is a rare thing indeed but wonderfully achieved here by Richard Graf in his book of duos Guitar for Two. Entertaining titles of original works include Mission Possible (an entertaining spoof version of Mission Impossible) and Reggae for Carmen (an amusing mix of Stevie Wonder’s Masterblaster and the Habañera from Carmen) as well as other more traditional arrangement of tunes such as Danny Boy and House of the Rising Sun. The relatively simple top line combined with the more detailed accompaniment offers a range of challenges which will make this book of usethroughout the easy to intermediate stages of learning the guitar. A CD included allowing accompanied performance of the pieces at home. Although the CD is performed on steel-strung guitars this book is nevertheless also perfectly relevant for classical guitarists. Graf has pitched his writing to provide challenging yet idiosyncratic pieces within a framework of highly entertaining styles.(...)(Music Teacher 6/03)Contents: Graf Richard: RichBlues · Bonfa Luiz: Manha de Carneval (Black Orpheus) · Graf Richard: Rain in Spain · Scarborough Fair · Graf Richard: Mission Possible · Russian Tango (Dark Eyes) · Graf Richard: Whatz up · Reggae for Carmen (Habanera) · Graf Richard: Sad Tango · Graf Richard: Flip Flap · House of the Rising Sun · Graf Richard: Bolero · Danny Boy · Oh Happy Day · Graf Richard: Zeit vergeht

For Acoustic Guitar-During the course of my teaching piano and guitar I have not come across another book that took these classic masterpieces and arranged them for the beginner guitar student. There is an amazing amount of literature like this forthe piano but not for the guitar. My goal with this book is to fill this void in the guitar literature. I chose compositions that the young guitar student would most likely have heard before and thus used familiar melodies. Ithen made easy arrangements of them mostly using the top four strings simple chords and fingerings. The right hand fingering is not indicated because I used the general rule of thumb: a = 1st string m = 2nd string i = 3rdstring p = 4th 5th and 6th strings.” All 12 solos are scored in notation and tablature.
