Ansprechende Gitarrenduos, die mit ein wenig Spielpraxis unbedingt zu empfehlen sind. Die stilistische Breite reicht vom fetzigen Boogie-Blues bis hin zu jazzigen Anklängen und Flamenco-Häppchen. Besonders die originellen Bearbeitungen machen die leichten bis mittelschweren Stücke nicht nur für den Unterricht interessant, auch das Zugabenrepertoire von Gitarrenduos können sie bereichern. Die CD mit Komplett- und Play-Along-Version liefert einen ansprechenden Eindruck für die Interpretation.
Empfehlenswerter erfrischender Mix eines Praktikers für die Praxis!

The relatively simple top line combined with the more detailed accompaniment offers a range of challenges which will make this book of use throughout the easy to intermediate stages of learning the guitar. A CD included allowing accompanied performance of the pieces at home. Although the CD is performed on steel-strung guitars this book is nevertheless also perfectly relevant for classical guitarists. Graf has pitched his writing to provide challenging yet idiosyncratic pieces within a framework of highly entertaining styles. (...)
