Sylvain Lemay's method is, in many ways, a very effective tool for teachers and students. It is very progressive, with some very useful music theory notions at the beginning to get students started from scratch.

The second chapter describes not only the instrument, but also all the writing conventions attached to the guitar, as well as how to tune it. Then begins the learning of the notes of the guitar and this is where things get really interesting: Sylvain Lemay has organized his method in such a way that this learning, very progressive and always starting from the open strings, is done in a playful way, within many small adapted duets, the student being accompanied by the teacher. In parallel to the study of the notes, and almost without noticing it, the student also learns to manage the different durations of the notes, the rhythms, the accidentals, the slurs, the string jumps and even the changes of position, etc. At the end of the method, one can also find technical exercises ranging from the study of chromaticism to contrary movements. Of course, scales are not left out. A CD, with excellent sound recording, containing numerous exercises, accompanies this remarkable method.
