C / C/E /  C / E / Am

C / C/e /  C / E / Am

For beginners: very easy guitar music: solos, duets, exercises,
theory. Some solos are classical or finger style and others are
also of equal benefit to flat pickers (style free).

For all: One best scale set for all guitarists, plus essential
scales of chord tones (real arpeggios, as on all other
instruments), and chords (triads in inversions). And more.

For intermediate to professional players: Solos, hints, best
fingerings of standard works...
