Pretty Cool lesson here, Covers the topic quite well. Ive just made a bunch of detailed courses for beginners and advanced guitarists that you might be interested in. Check it out! would love to know what you and anyone watching this video thinks. Its totally free, and i mean TOTALLY
The only thing I could think about while watching this was how bad I wanted to kick this guys ass for taking minutes of my life away talking jibberish.
@xmitchell27 Some people use nails, some don't. It's all personal preferance. Playing without nails is more simple IMO, taking care of nails takes too much time. Also, if you break a nail, you won't be playing for a few weeks till it grows back.
@xXxGoyexXx I totally get what you're saying :) Almost every classical player uses nails, since nylon strings played with just fingertips can sound too mellow. As far as I know Francisco Alfonso, Tárrega (In his later years of life) and Ranata Tarrago played without nails, using just their fingetips. Check out this piece that's played without nails : /watch?v=XaazpfbnhV0 It's amazing what talented musicians can do, even without nails and on a classical guitar.
you pointed to your extensor muscles in your forearm.. however when youre fingerpicking, you will be contracting your flexor muscles to bend your fingers. and they will pass through the carpal tunnel, on the anterior side of your wrist, not posterior.
I can't believe how much more comfortable it is playing guitar in the classical position. I'll have to go out and get that foot stool, right now I got books stacked under my foot.
what the heck? he's playing flamenco-style but in classical position!! flamenco position is right leg crossed over the left and the guitar on the right leg tilted slightly forward.
this is however a good way to introduce flamenco (freakin' awesome) and classical to people who've heard nothing but rock
well i didn't learn not a single friggin fingerstyle technique that i cud apply to my guitar, mostly due to the fact that this first part seemed more like an ad.
what's up with crazy dude that talks behind the camera! ahah great job though! thank you
