hi everybody, thank you all for your answers, again. :-)
i've just finished my first draft for my Guitar course, and i really
starting to think it's a shame i never learned the classical style...
i don't like all those fast player (or guitar rapists, as i call them)
so i'll avoid from them in the classical style too.
now i'm going to feed my six cats and search for your recommendations.

hey omer
i'll second eugene about scott tennant's book "pumping nylon."
definitely the best book for technical work, imo. i also like
ricardo
iznaola's "kitharologus" but the latter half of it goes a bit
overboard. if you do end up using it, i wouldn't recommend going
past
level 3. i usually don't do much more than level 1.
if you need a full tutor and not just a technique book, then the
classics are carcassi, carlevaro and shearer. i also like the
sagreras
books and tennant has a new one out too that is supposed to be
decent
(though i haven't seen it myself).
for etudes and studies, go with carcassi, sor and brouwer. other
good
ones are coste and giuliani.
and for eugene:
speaking of early, obscure methods, have you seen the two volumes by
vahdah olcott-bickford? they're great.

i need some books about guitar (English) after checking every
book
in
hebrew, i found nothing.
i need about the history of the guitar to the present day (i
heard
about one called "The Guitar And Its Music - From the
Renaissance
to
the Classical Era by James Tyler and Paul Sparks"), but i
guess i
need
more. even good internet websites (not wiki)
plus, some books about technics for classical guitar playing,
good
books, i want to play some classical guitar and i want to do it
right.
my lute teacher can help me, but i don't want to put too much
time
on
that. and i do know the basics.
now, i know it's not guitar list, but i know few of you are (or
were)
guitar players, and i trust you guys (hey, I'm a lute
player because you helped me find my luthier)
so thank you again for all your help (like the last time with
the fantasies for guitar i've asked, you gave me good stuff)
and i really hope to upload some lute videos soon!
