Tips On How To Play The Classical Guitar : Classical Guitar Lessons Review

[newislandguitar]

Good info for those wanting to know some basic things about the classical guitar. Enjoyed.

[ericgaldamez]

i was expecting a guitar lesson, not a lecture!! what a chump

[Pitcairn2]

Cutaways do not detract from the tone of a Classical Guitar. My cutaway has a better tone than my traditionally constructed instrument.

[MrBrainless17]

hey im chris im a faggot...

[megadeth1056]

Expert villiage could fuck up a wet dream.

[kenjikent]

WTF IS THIS

[hevimetal88]

if you happen to be 32 year old virgin man.. Learn to play classical guitar, play it to a girl and your problem is to be solved.

[weiyi1123]

what is the name of the song that you were trying to play in the video? Please tell me ASAP! ! Thanks alot! :)

[Fenderuk86]

dude looks like a young ed norton.

[guitarMunchkin]

Cutaways do not take away any of the tone of a classical acoustic guitar.

[guitarmaster123456]

noone wants to hear about a fucking lutt

[eckhartd]

Notice how in 1:19 he lowers his left arm and moves his elbow to adjust left hand while executing a chord. That's not a good tip for beginners or anyone else.

[parkingcap]

some of the viewers do really have shit attitudes coz no matter what you do and no matter you help viewers,they can still find negative things. A DOT ON A PAPER.

[souldragon98]

no so good but thanks i kinda get the hang of it

[orangmakan]

Hm - to be honest, i did not learned that much. There have not been explained any technics on how to play. Instead i was told some stories about the history of the instrument and that i should not choose a cutaway-equipped model.

That is a little thin for me - even if the duration shows only 1:52 .

[acaboca64]

Thank You for the instruccion, I enjoyed it.

[guisarius]

Ignoranti coglioni! Insultate senza sapere un cazzo! Almeno state zitti se siete delle becere bestie!

[Felipenietosachica]

fuck you!!! the guy is trying.. just because you play doesnt mean you can talk like that about someone. this is a video for beginners!! and if you are so fucking awesome why are you looking at "tips on how to play classical guitar" on you tube??

[redrock505]

i fucking hate expert village..........

[fery100]

Then why did you comment on this video?

[redrock505]

i'm just expressing myself. expert village completely floods youtube with stufpid videos that don't really teach you anything useful or practical, it's annoying

[fery100]

If you spent time commenting on every channel that floods youtube with stupid and unnecessary videos you would be wasting a lot of time. Instead of voicing an opinion that will do nothing to change this you can be doing something productive.

[redrock505]

fuck you

[tipsjr]

i know they teach fucking anything

[Mzege]

expert village is shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[PolyGibbins]

why is everybody bashing on him? He's explaining some history.. just go too other videos.

[DFireYukon]

Tnx ))

[homerboy488]

Geeeezus!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP and PLAY already!!!!!

[chinkilla666]

this guy doesn't know what he's talking about

[NonstopRam]

And the point of this is....??????

[haimcito]

first of all the guitar does NOT derives from the lute.the origins of the guitar are : egypt and greece about 2000 bc., in ancient greece there was an instrument that its name was KHITARA a sort of a 6 strings lyra. the origins of the lue are in mesopothamia about 3000 bc..

you misinform the audians. keep learning...and good luck.

[KillerOfBlueberries]

He forgot to talk about how the strings are strung differently..

[jeiluifang]

Well he didn't give a single tip but I'm glad someone finally explained why classical guitar is great for claasical musics.

Alas though, expertvillage is mainly full of non-expert people that seem to make a mockery of teaching guitar techniques in a clear way. Most of which thats taught isn't really important and there are rare videos from them that acually do some good. The best thing you could do for classical guitar is to watch someone thats a proffesional and copy them thats what I think.

[jasonwaite2]

You don't seem to know the difference between classical guitar technique and general fingerstyle. You generalize "bass strings for bass lines, trebles for melody). This is so not true for so much music. Your vocal 'matter-of-fact tone is not appropriate when talking about classical guitar.

[gavai987]

Can u play guitar

[lucirz]

expertvillage is bs don't trust them...what exactly makes this guy an "Expert"?

[supermaurox222]

that's so true, expertvillage is shit, I'm tired of searching how to do something and seeing just thousands of expertvillage videos, really bad videos, expertvillage should be taken out of Utube

[SharpShooter92]

@lucirz everything he said is correct. his history is right and so is every other explanation he gave.

[LanyneBayne]

Win what exactly?

[metalmandisconnect]

Why did you make the videos so short. Are you getting paid by ExpertVillage? You're cool. ExpertVillage sucks.

[mabacdabatmaban]

thanks this video taught me tips on how to play classical guitar.

[shoolbus234]

he has a les paul

[majav15mg]

classical guitar ftw

[megafeltch]

why did everybody put a thumbs down? whats so bad about commenting on a retards disability?

[Brandon0623]

hmm, yes, it's always good to know some of the history and mechanics of your instrument, the best way to learn about different guitars is to simply go around, try them out, and play them, makes a good activity for the weekend to

[renagade12]

cant you play with a pick

[skysando]

it's a classical guitar ... classical guitar is not played with a pick

[dennisisms]

You will never really win on guitar.

You get 6 strings but only have 5 fingers.

[KongoXIIV]

LOL true.

Guess that's why we can use barre tho.

[AIACOSZ]

right!

[rocklee624]

You can but the tone and sound will be different than with your fingers.

[JesseGuitar07]

love your music,love your work! i will surely subscribe

5 star*****

With Respect~~

JESSE

[KlaasDK]

Hi... I like that melody you are playing.. its only the start of the song you play.. please let me know what the name of the song is called.. thanks

[guitarguy1685]

very good useless information thx

[Uberboricua]

Good lesson to get people started.

[hermawanlukman]

Too much talking. Just play it!!

[Lutemann]

I've watched several of these videos and although I don't always agree with the way he says certain things, one can't argue with the fact that he does it right. I would recommend that every beginner watch this set of videos.

[Makachu]

upper means top or higher it is completely totally and stupidly irrelivant ok?

if you look for falts in everything youll never find the good

[wearyfootsteps]

Are you seriously arguing about "upper" and "lower"? That is the most trivial thing i've ever heard.

[themanslayer]

yeah, but how to play?

[jonyerby2000]

Nice video Chris! Hows Austin?

[333099]

don´t talk just play, thanx for teaching!:-)

[kplay3000]

to play, no you don't need theory, but to play well, you do.

[JonnyDexter]

hey, he knows more theory than me... but do u need theory to play?>??

[parasitewithin]

generally speacking, chris is right.

[BHayley]

"One could refer to the bass strings as lower notes and the trble as upper - or better "higher" notes but we are taking it too far if we label it your way and I know that many books have it your way"

your argument holds no water. The dubbing of them as upper and lower strings is a generic concept advocated by the juggernauts in the guitar business, so why not continue this tradition?

[jasonwaite2]

I disagree with your calling the bass strings the lower strings and the treble the upper strings. Yes according to pitch this is true but obviously according to verticality it is not. One could refer to the bass strings as lower notes and the trble as upper - or better "higher" notes but we are taking it too far if we label it your way and I know that many books have it your way - but I think the way I have suggested to be more logical.

[tedkoppel]

"Many books" being every respected classical guitarist on the planet

[virtuoso777]

You can't dissagree with fact. The strings are named according to pitch derivatives. Chris is most definetly right here. Also it might be a cool fact to know that the "top" of the neck/fingerboard is closer to the body, and the "bottom" is closest to the headstock, again this is because of the pitch derivatives.
