Do publikacji dołączona jest płyta, która zawiera 16 kompozycji Tatiany Stachak z podręcznika Gitara ekstra klasa, 7 kompozycji innych autorów z tej samej publikacji, a także dwie kompozycje Tatiany Stachak z publikacji Zaproszenie do walca. Wykonawcami utworów są Michał Nagy i Tatiana Stachak.
Podręcznik "Gitara ekstra klasa" jest kontynuacją bestsellerowej publikacji "Gitara pierwsza klasa". Podręcznik adresowany jest do dzieci i młodzieży w wieku 7-14 lat. W podręczniku wprowadzone zostały kolejne zagadnienia techniczne realizowane w nauczaniu początkowym gry na gitarze, tj.: legato, barré, tremolo, apoyando, ozdobniki, gra w różnych pozycjach. Zamieszczone na ponad 140 stronach publikacji utwory to w większości kompozycje autorki podręcznika (są to zarówno utwory solowe, jak i duety dla ucznia i nauczyciela oraz utwory kameralne) uzupełnione o obszerny zbiór popularnych miniatur dydaktycznych klasyków gitary, a także utwory współczesne Romualda Twardowskiego i Marka Pasiecznego oraz liczne ćwiczenia i wprawki techniczne, improwizacje oraz gamy. Wśród nowatorskich rozwiązań publikacji warto wymienić wprowadzenie w wielu utworach ciekawych i rzadko wykorzystywanych w literaturze dydaktycznej dla dzieci efektów gitarowych, m.in. : tamburo, pizzicato, pizzicato Bartóka, flażolety naturalne i sztuczne, stukanie w pudło gitary, gra za siodełkiem, étouffé. Nowatorskim rozwiązaniem jest też wprowadzenie zagadnienia akompaniamentu oraz gry w zespołach kameralnych (której poświęcony jest jeden z rozdziałów podręcznika). Całości dopełnia szata graficzna - kilkadziesiąt ilustracji autorstwa Małgorzaty Flis.

Good luck in your brautiful and adventure trip to the realm of sounds!
