You must understand that there is no easy way around any instrument in the classical world. You can no longer rely upon your amplifier to provide the sound, you have to use dynamics to produce different tonalities within the music. And never, ever think you can use tab for classical guitar!

@Alejandro4891 First off, before you do anything, purchase a scale book for classical guiar - graded 1-5 - ABRSM provide these books. Secondly, purchase a book called time pieces for guitar - which is also sold by ABRSM. This book provides selected pieces for examination from grade 1-5. You must also buy a sight reading book, which is also sold by ABRSM... In fact, just go on Amazon and buy the lot - The books are not expensive. Lastly, practice 1 hour a day, and find a teacher.

5:59 "Just keep your will strong" - best advice in playing this exercise, like it came from a star wars movie or something.
