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...

Gentlemen , Zak, WHAT A MAGNIFICENT EXERCISE AND DISTINCTIONS. Allen I noticed that your shoulder didn't tense nor your neck or elbows nor your anything tense. Zak, does that mean that when I press the string , even though I am pressing I still keep the same amount of non tension and the pressure of my finger on the string perhaps can be less gripping? And I noticed that....wait a minute. I'm going to try this myself and be back with you BTW, I bit my dentist. Too much tension in my jaw You guys are becoming icons in teaching music, writing, listening living, and sharing what is in our souls that needs sharing The song I am writing to for middle C to sing. The Line Where I Live is what it's called and of course, and I can't explain why, but all the songs I write are for you Always Jo
