I've been working my way through this book. I thoroughly recommend it! The pieces are cunningly selected to teach you things like using thoughtful fingering to get the best legato and sustain. It's very rewarding to go back to the easier pieces and practice your vibrato and dynamics.

Here are some recordings of my progress from Grade 4:

J. S. Bach, Largo BWV 1056: https://youtu.be/7ul9pVx1m7c

Fernando Sor, Opus 31, No. 2: https://youtu.be/wGKhhW_OCGk

G. F. Handel, Prelude: https://youtu.be/XZ3anN8jWZo

 

I've been working on improving my fingerstyle playing with some classical repertoire. This is my attempt at "Study No. 10", a classical guitar etude by Fernando Sor arranged by Jeff Peterson.

 

Sorry I didn't record a video to go with it. There's also an instrumental version since my voice doesn't quite capture the same passion as the original!
