I was taught in a group guitar class from the Christopher Parkening books--they're okay as far as method books go (though our class tended to joke that Mr. Parkening must be a raging narcissist with all the glamour shots of him sprinkled through the book).
I eventually discovered the Frederick Noad series of books and immediately fell in love with them. His Solo Guitar Playing 1 book is very meticulous and comprehensive. Most of the pieces include parts for a teacher and student, but its still useful for solo learning. He's also published a several compendiums of period music (Renaissance, Baroque, Romantic era, etc.) that are fun to play from.
The "Library of Guitar Classics" is also pretty good to have around as it is a nice compendium of solo classical guitar works from all eras and from many composers. It'll keep you busy for a looooooong time.

I like [this one.] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Solo-Guitar-Playing-Book-Instruction/dp/0825637112/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1511086997&sr=1-1)
(Definitely classical, btw, not "solo" as in rock lead guitar!)
Get this book immediately! Also, get inspired by listening to great classical guitarists - Segovia, Julian Bream, John Williams, Sharon Isbin and compare and contrast the same pieces among them.
