Here, I demonstrate the guide finger approach to shifting in scales. I also show the arm and left hand moving as a unit. To see all ten lessons, do a search for: classical guitar lessons murdick.

Aaron Shearer wrote a beautiful "Waltz In A" where the melody is entirely on on the first string with lots of shifts. It may be found in Classsical Guitar Technique, Vol. 2 (Belwin Mills). I play this piece at

This is too complex to answer in an e-mail.

Hi there. I was just wondering how you recorded the Shearer piece?... from the link, There is much "hiss" in the background, I have the same problem when I record with a webcam.

[Lutemann]

It's my computer. I'm going to switch to a laptop soon.

You are the MAN!

[Lutemann]

Well, thank you.

[Lutemann]

Almost anyone can move that fast if their first finger is sliding along the string. That's the trick!
