When I was young, I dreamed of having a book that would reveal the secrets of good technique.

A kind of practical manual that I could apply to everything I do and achieve effortless speed, power and precision.

But no such book existed.

And I was left to my own devices, to find my own solutions.

It was on the guitar, an instrument that I love for its seemingly limitless expressive possibilities, that I began to experience and uncover the principles that are contained in this book.

These principles form the foundation of every technique that I learned. They’re at the heart of all we do.

I call these principles the art of virtuosity.

The word ‘virtuosity’ often conjures up spectacles of flashy showmen performing difficult routines or displays of pyrotechnics.

Yes, that is one manifestation of virtuosity—virtuosity as entertainment.

But true virtuosity is more than entertainment—it is a state of mind.

A state of mind that enables you to reach a state of full potentiality, where you’re able to operate without limitations, and achieve whatever you set out to do.

The Art of Virtuosity is an eminently simple practical book.

The principles contained within it are the result of a lifetime of playing the classical guitar.

I guarantee that if you follow the principles in the book and absorb them into what you do, that you will achieve virtuosity in whatever you set your heart upon.

And if for whatever reason, you find that it did not work for you, I’ll be happy to refund 100 percent of what you paid within 60 days (that’s the maximum time allowed by paypal for a full refund.)

The AOV has received praise from professionals and players alike. Here’re some of their comments:

“Bravo! What an incredible gift you have given to the world! Your virtuosity as a musician, it seems to me, must be matched by your abilities as a communicator and teacher.”

Miguel de Maria, Phoenix, AZ

“The Art of Virtuosity is very freeing. It’s as if you want to liberate our instincts. It’s ironic that so many rules started out as some artist following his/her instincts with such success that their personal approach became a rigid guide. We miss the point that it was their instincts, not rigid thinking, that got the result. Nice work.”

Tony Grieco, Albany, NY

“The book’s great…thank you! I am convinced that, had your book been available to me when I first picked up our instrument, I would now be a guitarist of some calibre. Many thanks for writing this book. You have bolstered my resolve to become the musician I believe I can be.”

Stephen Hopper, London, England

The Art of Virtuosity is not a guitar technique book. I have written a second book that is devoted specifically to the classical guitar. Please click on this link to read more.
