I have known Matthew's work for years from his Max Richter video which I love, but only today decided to see what else he had out there. He strikes me as a wonderful teacher and it's nice to hear him talk about fundamentals in, not only a non-condescending tone, but an "embrace" of their usefulness.

i watched these three guitar tutorials and i found great , i learned a lot.... it's very clear and comprehensive , thanks a lot Matthew !!

a lot a very useful tips and information passed on here....a million thanks Matthew!

Brilliant - thank you!

Cannot find another better advice than that! Thank you so much.

You are a great teacher, Matthew! Thank you for explaining these exercises so clearly. Brilliant!

Many thanks from Las Vegas Nevada!

good teacher :)

Thank you Mathew. That was really helpful and well taught!

Excellent lesson, I look forward to practicing these techniques

Thank you. Very nice tips for guitar technique.

Thanks a lot Matthew. Just to summarize for quicker reference for the benefit of all watching this geat video and for myself: 1:40 start of the first excercise: one finger walking - for calibration of your movement, and for independency. Try to land on your finger tip and be close to the fret. Watch out for finger joint collapse 5:45 Two fingers walking with hammer on. 6:50 Try to vary the speed. 9:30 Barre' : calibration of how much pressure needed when playing 2 string barre, 3 string barre, ..., 6 string barre

Great information!!! Thanks.

Thank you, Matthew. A fantastic lesson. Very pleasant presentation.

Simply fantastic! Good advice....thanks for the tips.

So helpfull !

You are incredible Matt!

Very good advice

Your execise seems to be interesting. I'll try it on. Thanks.

Thank you very much for your lesson ~!!!👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍from Korea

Hi Matt...Fantastic motivation once again. You're a great teacher with wonderful insight and ideas. I've been using that two-finger warm-up exercise a couple of years now. Sometimes I'll play them using string skipping movements. As opposed to using strings 6 5 4 3 2 1, I sometimes use 6-4-2-1-3-5... . Also when you mentioned Scott Tennant Pumping Nylon, I knew I was at the right place!!! His exercises on opposing motion, are awesome!!! Those speed burst exercises, and Flamenco techniques are great as well. Do you play Flamenco guitar?.. I know you been playing for years, that much is evident in your presentation. I may not get as proficient on my instrument as you, John Williams, or David Russell, but I'm going to get as close as I can. Thanks again Matt for sharing. You're a major inspiration in the pursuit of classical guitar excellence.

That barre exercise is really good. Especially going up and down the fretboard. Thanks.

Bravo

Morgen fange ich an zu üben . Frohe Weihnachten wünscht Stephan

Thank you

Very Educative video Matt. Thanks :-) Can I ask which guitar you are playing as the sound is immaculate and if you have used an mic/amp or is it 100% natural sound...Of course, it also depends on what device was used to record the video but I am struggling to find a guitar with the right sound and you can do a video on that :-) Also, are you based out of Karlruhe?

Where can I find other videos by Matthew McAllister on here?

enjoying this accent just as much as the good training tips x)

Train making our fingers and hand to get flexibility and agility, strengthening our hand muscle.

nice video..thank you so much... one more query..what is the string height of your guitar on 12th fret from fret top???

Thank you, Braveheart! For exercises that might help. But ''it's all for nothing if you don't have FREEDOM!'' :) Amazing guitarist and teacher.

how is a name of the book

The name of the song please?

Y

Mathew you offer brilliant expertise and advice on technique. However, please don't omit, 'left handed' classical guitar students, for whom your 'left hand importance' is our 'right hand importance' Such an omission feels like exclusion! and classical guitar is only legitimately seen from a right hand player's perspective.....whereas both are of equal importance.
