128 pages. In standard notation. Complete Beginner to Intermediate level. The Roger Hudson Guitar Method is a progressive, dynamic guide to the fundamentals of music and the basics of classical and fingerstyle guitar playing. Each lesson offers attractive exercises and new compositions from the author as well as traditional sources. Areas of emphasis are rhythmic training, note reading, key and time signatures, scales, chords, arpeggios, basic right and left hand techniques, position shifting and repertoire. The method includes numerous solos and duets in classical, blues, jazz, folk and world music genres. The Roger Hudson Guitar Method is a product of over ten years of development seasoned by successful practical use with students in both individual and class instruction. Subjective in-depth technical discussion such as - nail shape, rest/free stroke, sitting position, etc. - was intentionally left out in favor of playable musical material. The method is designed to allow flexibility for instructors with varying perspectives and pedagogical styles. Lessons are arranged by techniques and key signatures. Keys covered are C/Am, G/Em, D/Bm, A/F#m, E/C#m, F/Dm, Bb/Gm. Early introduction to modes is included. 20 pages of additional repertoire includes: Greensleeves, Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, Simple Gifts, Canon in D, Silent Night, Gymnopedie no.1. Several well-known Hudson originals are included: Harp Strings, Rainy Scene, Blue Stairways, Sambavacation and many more. Lessons also include standard classical repertoire by Carulli, Carcassi, Giuliani, Sor, Sanz and others. Solo and duet arrangements of international folksongs, hymns, carols are featured in lessons and as repertoire. Students are also introduced to chord symbols (including a few basic jazz chords) and strumming.

22 original compositions for solo classical or fingerstyle guitar. All titles composed by Roger Hudson between the years 1988-1999. This collection represents the earliest efforts to put my musical ideas for solo guitar on the written page. Many of the pieces in this collection are in older popular styles (blues, rags, etc.). Some pieces in this book are definitely heavier than others. It certainly is not a collection of easy pieces. I have always composed what I enjoy composing and have never given too much thought to difficulty or whether or not a piece is deemed "concert-worthy". My compositional pendulum freely swings from the simple to traditional to more esoteric without much concern. Whether at casual or formal performances, many of my original pieces were, and still are, regularly intermingled with standard repertoire. As far as categorization, I will leave it up to those who sense the duty to determine what could be considered "classical" as opposed to "fingerstyle". In 1994, About half of the pieces featured here were included in my first album release called Guitarchitecture. In The Guitar Foundation of America's journal Soundboard, classical/microtonal guitarist John Schneider reviewed the CD and spoke of "many gorgeous moments". So, at least in that case, the academic leaning classical guitar world seemed to like my music. Experience has shown that my compositions are also liked by a cadre of fingerstyle guitarists. Because of this I am offering separate versions of this collection in tablature as well as standard notation - in an attempt to please everyone!
