Includes downloadable MP3 files. Every song title has three MP3 tracks: 1) the teacher duet on the left channel and the student solo on the right channel; 2) an orchestration at a performance tempo where the instrumentation and music style enhance the various moods of each individual piece; 3) the same orchestration at a slower (practice) tempo.

Performance Book 2 provides additional songs in a variety of styles that reinforce skills learned in Lesson Book 2. This book may supplement other guitar methods as well. All songs are suitable for public performance.
