About This Course

Transform your guitar playing by using good technique and apply your skills by play 3 great classical guitar pieces

In this course, you're going to learn how to play every important technique for classical guitar, and you will immediately put your skills to use by playing 3 classical guitar pieces, "Pavan" by Luis Milan, "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" by J.S. Bach, and the hauntingly beautiful "Spanish Romance."

What you can expect from the course

  • You'll find out how great it feels to be able to play complex music using your right-hand fingers to pluck the strings

  • You'll have more security and accuracy with less strain as you use your left-hand to play all over the neck of the guitar

  • To play 3 different classical guitar pieces, and learn how to put them together well enough to perform the pieces for others

  • You'll start with the basics and move on to many different techniques, ranging from hammer-ons and pull-offs to barre chords to natural harmonics

If you've ever wondered how to play music that has multiple parts going on at the same time, or how to play chords where all the strings are not right next to each other, then this course is for you. If you would like to be able to play wide left- hand stretches but you don't have a huge hand, and you would like to know how to practice so you don't strain or injure yourself, then this course is going to be helpful.

The course is video-based, and there are a variety of camera angles showing each example in detail. There are also PDF files of the sheet music for each musical example and piece in both regular notes and guitar tablature.

Having good technique is important when you're playing classical guitar, but it's equally important to have an outlet where you can use those techniques. That's why this course finished by helping you learn to play 3 great pieces of music, "Alman" by Luis Milan, "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" by J.S. Bach, and the famous "Spanish Romance."

The great thing about working on your technique in advance is that you will find the process of learning and playing pieces less difficult and more enjoyable.

By clicking the button that say "Start Learning Now," you'll get lifetime access to all of the lecture videos and downloadable/printable PDF files. You can start making music at a higher level than you may have thought possible, but you have to jump in and get started. Thanks for reading.

As a former rhythm guitar playing song-leader and choral music educator, I was hoping for focus specifically on playing the guitar for classical -- position, finger technique, etc. and Not basic musicianship. I just want to add this instrument to my 'tool bag' for personal pleasure. So far he's exactly on target.

As a matter of fact, This is the right course for me since am playing electric guitar since many years, but just recently i decided to learn the classic guitar and playing by fingers and not picks, so this is a great course which fits me well since i know how to play already but moving from Heavy metal to classic i needed a help, i tried some by youtube but it was just frustrating, so so far am so enjoying the first two lessons and i belive in less than 3 months ill be able to play very well specially the right hand fingers.
Thank you
