Most guitar players are not aware that you can 100% transfer most classical guitar techniques to other guitar styles. A great example is what you teach in this video which has won you a subscriber. Not following your advise can lead to so much injury. This is the first time I have seen this concept explained so well. I had read about it but you made it crystal clear. Thank you so much

Hi Merce, I'm 68, and picking up the clssical lessons lately. I bought a Yamaha GC 3D 1971 and its quality really pushes me to continue. I played the guitar when I was still young but only had time since my retirement to concentrate playing classical. Your lessons are not only extremely helpfu--it goes into the most basic techniques that others do not cover. Besides, your sincerity is infectious. Thank you !!!

Thank you so much for this. I am primarily a rock/blues/metal player and any finger picking stuff I learned was in that "world" so more like the incorrect pluck. So in trying to learn classical guitar this has been my biggest roadblock and none of the previous videos I watched did a good job of explaining it like you did.

Not one of them ever talked about how the fingers will naturally return to their starting position if you focus on letting the entire hand relax. Fantastic lesson, thank you!!

Consequently, I have started to experience some pain. I really need to learn to relax the fingers and developing economy of movement. This is so important.

Hello Merce, thank you for the excellent video regarding the right hand technique. Your explanations are very precise and detailed. I've been playing the electric bass for a long time and my whole life I've had the problem of not being able to play particularly fast. But your explanations showed me a few new points that might help. Maybe I can get further with this :-) Good luck and all the best for your career! Thomas

Keep doing what you love and stay safe 😊

Jazz guitarist here who has played with a pick or hybrid (pick + fingers) his whole life and is now starting to dive into the classical world for fun ☺️ greats tips. It’s actually quite interesting how different the electric and the classical guitar are as instruments… for me, electric bass is a much closer instrument to electric guitar than classical guitar is.
