This is the flagship book in Mel Bay's new Achieving Guitar Artistry series. Herein you will find an extensive collection of linear pieces with interesting melodic content. Frequent performance ofthese etudes will not only enhance technique but offer the Guitarist a wonderful opportunity to improve tone touch and lyrical phrasing.We suggest playing each etude at a slow tempo at first the goal being to achievea clear and beautiful tone on every note. The next objective is to develop a sense of lyrical completeness to each musical phrase. Make the phrases sing! Once you have achieved the desired quality of tone and expression increasethe tempo to work on the technique.The pieces in Linear Guitar Etudes are multi-positional. That is the player will be required to move from position to position on the fingerboard. The music ispresented in standard notation only with left-hand fingering included on the more complex passages and circled numbers to indicate the strings where certain notes and passages are to be played.These etudes sound goodon both nylon and steel-string Guitars and will be a valuable addition to the music library of any Guitarist enhancing their abilities regardless of the style of music played.

Éva Perényi has compiled a diverse group of 169 intermediate-level etudes in 85 pages. The book features a beautifully printed layout that is very easy to read and a durable binding that will lay flat without much fuss. These etudes progress in difficulty from several that are very simple (although with 16th notes and compound meters) to intermediate level studies that reach a high 'e' only a few times. The etudes are in keys up to three sharps or flats except for a few of four sharps or flats. The first etudes are four to a page; the last ones fill a page. Although easily sight-readable by an advanced player this book could fill a second purpose beyondits intended function as a beginning bass clarinet study book for a more experienced player.
