Bibliography of classical guitar

The following is a bibliography of classical guitar related publications.^[1]

The classical guitar (also called the "Spanish guitar" or "nylon string guitar") is a 6-stringed plucked string instrument from the family of instruments called chordophones. The classical guitar is well known for its comprehensive right hand technique, which allows the soloist to perform complex melodic and polyphonic material, in much the same manner as the piano.
