Are you learning classical guitar or would like to learn classical guitar? ClassicalGuitarShed.com can help you on the journey. If you want to rise to new levels in your playing, it just takes time and strategic work.
To play classical guitar well, you need to know:
* how to hold and touch the guitar - form and positioning
* how to move your fingers and hands - efficient, clean, and fluid
* how to learn pieces - reading music, understanding what you see, ingraining, polishing
* how to craft the music so it is beautiful - swells and fades, rhythm, touch
* how to practice so all these skills improve over time and don't go away
At the root of beautiful playing is a solid technique (aka “the way your hands move”). You may have beautiful music in your head, but if your hands can't play it, it won't come out of the guitar.
But bad technique puts a limit on your playing. Speed, tone quality, and control can suffer.
Good technique gets stronger and more instinctive with every practice. It forms the bedrock foundation for your music.
And you may want to understand music so you learn it more easily and it makes more sense. This can help you avoid the excess frustration and dismay that comes with shoddy practice and prolonged confusion.
But playing the notes is not enough. Like an actor bring words to life, we breathe life into our pieces.
And we can do this in an organized way, day in and day out, reliably. Great musicians can play wonderfully in any mood. They do not rely on emotions. Instead, they create music that affects our emotions. This is a trained skill, not an inborn talent.
Playing classical guitar is a long-term study. It's something we do in our homes as part of our days. We play for ourselves, for the quality it adds to life. We may enjoy playing guitar for others, but most of the time we are alone with our work.
There are methods and formulas for great practice. We can use our time well so that see more progress.
We can fix the problems and erase the mistakes. And we can enjoy conquering the plentiful challenges that classical guitar music offers.
If you plan to play classical guitar for any length of time, it is worth it to get help. It's not something we can do on our own, like folk music.
I have a structured and organized course to help you play classical guitar. If you like, you can learn more here: classicalguitarshed.com/membe...

After having a small stroke around four years ago, when I tried playing pieces I knew I'd be making mistakes. I'd struggle remembering finger positions, chords, this made me frustrated and angry so I have hardly touched my guitar since. Thank you for these tips I'm going to have another go.

Feelings aren’t facts. Start the action and the feelings will follow. I also use stickers, pretty ones, for each day on my calendar next to the mirror. I’ll be damned if I want to see a day without a sticker. That allows me to have an ‘existence system’ outside my head where I can see my commitment to practicing. Thanks, Allen. Jo

So true. Emotions are so elusive! I just ignore them and practice anyway. Always happy I did! I will say, I know what I'm having for dinner :)

It’s not 100% effective but works reasonably well for me. I never talk or think about practice, just “playing” and “working on”. Somehow it removes the task/discipline angle. Play is fun so I warm up using a gently evolving routine. This gets me in a zone and enjoy myself. This has also changed the way my wife asks about my playing. In conversation she doesn’t ask if I’m going to practice or how my practice is going. This removes any sense of being nagged to practice or any other negative reaction. She just asks if I’m going to play (usually as I’m loitering near the biscuit tin) or how the playing is going. That sounds fun so off I go, warm up, play some fun pieces and then I get curious about improving the bit of technique I’m developing at the time. Avoid practice, just play and explore your music.

It’s like going to the gym… The hardest part is getting off your butt and going. Once you’re there it’s easy. Even if I don’t feel like playing guitar I sit down with a timer for 15 minutes and do my warm-ups. Once the timer goes off and I’m warmed up if I want to keep playing parentheses which I usually do) I can easily lose an hour or two. And if I don’t?… Put the guitar down, there’s always tomorrow but at least I kept my fingers in shape
