This book is a wonderful addition to his already impressive body of work. The practice routines in this book are the same as the ones in the online curriculum but with the added benefits of being all in one place and available to students not affiliated with the academy. Somehow, Dr. Powis has been able to take all the guesswork out of technique practice while at the same time making it interesting and fun. These progressive studies are the most direct method for learning technique that I have come across. I recommend them highly. I have heard that Repertoire and Sight Reading books that will complement these studies are in the offing as well - I'm eagerly awaiting those! Review: Use it every day - Its a great book filled with exercises for the beginner, the early intermediate, late intermediate and advanced guitarist. After about a month, I feel I am playing my repertoire a little more confidently, and have a better understanding of time signatures, finger independence and strength, and music theory. I have had a lot of guitar books over the years, Kithalogus, Pumping Iron, Shearer, etc. But this exercise book, along with Sagreras studies, and Sor's and Brouwer's etudes really make my daily practice both a pleasure and a challenge. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #707,985 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,293 in Guitar Songbooks | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (139) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.24 x 11 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1727138325 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1727138320 | | Item Weight | 1 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 106 pages | | Publication date | October 12, 2018 | | Publisher | CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | ## Images ![20 Practice Routines for Classical Guitar: Graded exercises and studies for classical guitar pre-written in a clear and structured progression. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41lVkMxGmnL.jpg) ![20 Practice Routines for Classical Guitar: Graded exercises and studies for classical guitar pre-written in a clear and structured progression. - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51bYGmkfynL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Indispensible Technique book for Classical Guiter *by H***S on October 18, 2018* I have been a student of Dr. Powis' online classical guitar school - Classical Guitar Corner (CGC) - for 2 years and can vouch, firsthand, for his talents both as a virtuoso world-class performer and exemplary instructor.

After about a month, I feel I am playing my repertoire a little more confidently, and have a better understanding of time signatures, finger independence and strength, and music theory. I have had a lot of guitar books over the years, Kithalogus, Pumping Iron, Shearer, etc. But this exercise book, along with Sagreras studies, and Sor's and Brouwer's etudes really make my daily practice both a pleasure and a challenge. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The only classical guitar method written specifically for the amateur adult learner *by M***N on October 19, 2018* Why should I use 20 Practice Routines for Classical Guitar instead of Pumping Nylon? Pumping Nylon grew out of Scott Tennant’s desire to have something to give to his conservatory students for them to work from. And while it has grown into something much bigger than that, his preface warns “not to confuse this book with a method book..it is not sequenced progressively…It is more of a reference book..” 20 Practice Routines, on the other hand, is a carefully sequenced series of technical and musical challenges that progress logically (and inexorably) though the standard 8 grades of classical guitar proficiency established and recognized worldwide. However, unlike the technique books issued by such groups as the Royal Conservatory, these routines have been specifically developed for the adult amateur classical guitarist, and extensively beta-tested on over a thousand of us at Dr. Powis’s Classical Guitar Academy (of which I am, at age 60, a relatively new member). In front of me now (in addition to both editions of Pumping Nylon & the Royal Conservatory Guitar Technique Book), are Iznaola’s Kitharlogos, Johanson’s Daily Grind, and Kappel’s Bible of Classical Guitar Technique (described by Bradford Werner as “Pumping Nylon on steroids”). If you’re a conservatory student, or in the depths of a mid-life crisis, buy all of them. But if you’re ready to buckle down and bring on the classical guitar for the love of music, 20 Routines will get you from here to there in ways that you probably wouldn’t have imagined were possible. OK, I get it. But I can get some of these others as spiral-bound books, and that’s kind of a deal-breaker for me. I know what you mean. And while this perfectly bound edition lends itself well to spiralization (Kinko’s, Office Depot, Staples), you can also order a spiral-bound edition directly from Dr. Powis ## Frequently Bought Together - 20 Practice Routines for Classical Guitar: Graded exercises and studies for classical guitar pre-written in a clear and structured progression. - Progressive Sight Reading for Classical Guitar - Graded Repertoire for Classical Guitar: Progressive Pieces from Beginner to Advanced --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/86460486-20-practice-routines-for-classical-guitar-graded-exercises-and-studies](https://www.desertcart.id/products/86460486-20-practice-routines-for-classical-guitar-graded-exercises-and-studies) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
