This exciting revised edition of Enjoy Playing Guitar: Tutor Book 2 picks up where Book 1 left off, guiding students to the next level in their musical development. Using the same clear approach and careful pacing, it introduces new positions (2nd, 5th, 7th), techniques (left-hand slurs, harmonics, the barré), and musical ideas, supported by tailored solos, duets, and trios. With extension activities to advance musicianship, a repertoire section for concert pieces, and a CD with over 60 play-along tracks, this is an ideal one-stop resource for the developing classical guitarist.

This fantastic duet collection is perfect for classical guitarists at Grades 1-3 level. You'll find an impressive range of repertoire, including traditional tunes from across the globe, arrangements of well-known orchestral works, popular hits such as 'Jingle Bell Rock', and new pieces by Debbie Cracknell. The collection also includes classic solo guitar repertoire arranged for two players, making works by Fortea, Carulli, Tárrega, and Sagreras accessible to players at this level for the first time. All the duets have parts of equal difficulty, making them ideal material for not only teachers and students but also two learners playing together. In addition, the accompanying CD includes separate recordings of the primo and secondo parts, allowing students to practise at home. With clear presentation and background notes for every piece, Time for Two is an indispensable resource for all guitar teachers and students.
