Good Points

- Bad news for beginners. Only for Intermediate and advanced
Final Words
Classical Guitar of Fernando Sor is a book strictly for intermediate to advance player. What I like about this book is the detailed description and historical notes of each piece. These pieces are not the usual generic Sor work found in so many other classical books. Get your copy of Classical Guitar of Fernando Sor by Joseph Harris.
