Detailed explanations on the pieces and on the used playing techniques together with PDF, audio and video files make this material a method for string instruments that covers a broad spectrum of popular music.

“The writing reflects experience and insights gained through years of actively playing and teaching many levels and ages of string players. It has been wonderful for me to hear Gunther playing this material with his students in Cologne. These pieces are exciting to play in real life and in real time. I cannot recommend these books highly enough!” (Sera Smolen, Newsletter of the New Directions Cello Association)
