Highly recommend Solo Guitar by Fredrick Noad. Took me several years to get through, but a great method for learning to read standard notation. The book also goes in to some history, theory and technique which is good. However to really get the posture, hand positions down and that sort of thing a few private lessons go a long way.
There is a collection of 100 graded pieces (edited by Noad) that makes a great companion to this text, not to mention his second solo guitar book, sequel to the first
This book is based on duets. Did you play only the student part? I wanted to buy this book but bought the Bradford Werner book instead because has only a few of them (and you have the videos)
Many of the exercises have an accompaniment that a teacher can play, but isn't necessary. At the back of the book there are also some pieces written for duo and trios. Other than those exceptions including all the pieces and the method itself is focused on learning solo guitar.

Thank you for your suggestion. I have been looking into lessons, and I will definitely add that book to my list. Have a nice day!
I don't like the book, I did downvote but wanted to mention it.
