These classical guitar tutorial packages will show you exactly what to do to play each piece on a professional level. Learning these pieces with a teacher would take many hours of lessons and cost you hundreds of dollars. Even then, you probably wouldn't receive the detailed, comprehensive classical guitar instruction you will receive here.
