How did you find out that Tarrega didn't use nails? I'd alays assumed he would have. How is your tremolo without nails? Thanks for the previous reply.
Is there a reason that you play without fingernails. I know that Fernando Sor also played without the nails, are there any other well known classical guitarists that play without fingernails?
I began classical study using nails. After reading a treatise on guitar by Fernando Sor I reflected on his opinions concerning tone. After some experimentation I decided that I agreed with Sor and made the change. There were definitely some set backs that I'm finally overcoming but I feel it was well worth it.
Sor was definitely the biggest proponent of nail-less playing. Tárrega places second in terms of internationally known composer/performers who did not use finger nails.
Wish I could play my classical but the damn Savarez 6th E's are always first to bust.
I always buy another pack just for the E and now I have a few packs all missing E's.
What gives? Love the strings but the E's need work!

I use La Bella. My new string of choice.

Thank you, it is well worth the effort. I find now that this version might be a little fast, so I have been going a little slower.

Well done, Gregor. It is not an easy piece. The left hand is difficult.
