these are the carcassi etudes. I've had a musical background on the trombone for years and I've played guitar for about 2 before my teacher put me onto classical. I already knew how to read music, and he taught me the technique behind the etudes. SO, I guess I'm saying I started CG knowing how to read music already, with a certain level of aptitude to applying it to the guitar. I didn't start off with any method books, but I eventually bought a bunch and saw that my teacher pretty much taught me all of it to begin with, apart from the flamenco stuff.

This is a compilation of beginner to intermediate guitar etudes and short pieces. Also you will find some arrangements of songs that were not written for the guitar, but someone did good work and made it so. If you get bored of the carcassi, try some of these to take your mind off it and to practice your sight reading, but always go back.
With Pumping Nylon inbetween. There are a few things you're going to have to learn that come with basic general guitar playing. Chord forms, triad forms, rest strokes, note reading, (maybe some Italian lol) also, grab a musical dictionary for the Italian stuff.... If your piece says to play Andante, you don't want to play it Allegro. If your piece says to play staccato, you don't want to play legato. If it says Dolce, don't play it Pesante.
There are so many things you learn with time and practice, but learn to play the carcassi etudes, MIND YOUR FINGERINGS. Good luck!
One last thing, STAY ON ONE ETUDE BEFORE YOU MOVE ON. Perfect it, you don't want to be able to play 10 half-ass etudes... that defeats the purpose. Get them down pat as you move along.
