Classical guitar is a beautiful instrument that helps in transforming your feelings into music. You can express grief, melancholy, cheerfulness, distress, faith and love among other feelings as you strum through the various chords of the classical guitar. It is also known to some as the Spanish guitar.
The basic body and style of the classical guitar is similar to that of a normal acoustic guitar but does have its difference. The classical guitar generally has a wider fret board and utilizes nylon strings than other guitars. A notable playing style difference between the classical guitar and its relatives is that it is played by picking the strings rather than strumming.
A classical guitar lesson will not only teach you how to play the instrument but also let you deeply involved in it. If you want to learn how to play the classical guitar well, weekly classical guitar instruction under the guidance of a good instructor is the way to go. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced player, good classical guitar teachers and daily practice are great assets. Quality classical guitar lessons will save you time and frustration. And it will keep you from acquiring bad playing habits that will eventually hold you back.
The initial (first) phase of classical guitar lessons will focus mainly on the fundamental sitting position, how to hold your guitar, left-to-right and right-to-left hand motions, and the motion of thumb. These are essential to learning how to play the guitar flawlessly. Once you start learning how to hold the guitar and use it, then I will be convenient for you to go ahead with the second stage which brings more excitement.
The second phase will be focusing more on beats, notes, and sound of the guitar. Beats basically refers to of the sound that comes out when two different notes are played together. Depending on how you play it, beats can vary in speed. The notes are of primary importance as you will learn to get used to playing each and every note individually, simultaneously and finally together. After acquiring understanding of the basic notes, the phase three will start. It includes free stroke and the rest stroke and will throw light on understanding artificial harmonics.
Phase four of classical guitar learning is quite important as you will start to understand the difference and similarity between the pitch, dynamics, rhythm, and timbre. Each of these has to be understood in detail and practiced in order to achieve perfection in playing the classical guitar. Last but not the least, you will learn to understand and play the various scales including common scales and their application.
Regular classical guitar lessons will help you stay focused and motivated. Advanced classical guitar players, including concert performers, can learn an incredible amount by studying with other musicians too. Accomplished musicians, other than guitarists, are a gold mine of musical knowledge and inspiration.
its frustrating. yes i’m very aware. and time consuming but i am determined to learn. i’ve played classical right handed for about a year but i made the decision to convert to a lefty steel string acoustic and i’m sticking by it. i am left handed. its not like classical at all. i’m too poor to afford lessons. i’m a starving student. i just want to know if I’m doing all i can to get the most out of practice time. right now i’m practicing basic chords and changing them. i’m also playing around with strumming. is there something else I can work on? help please
Yeah. Work on your scales.
What you really have to do is spend time playing. The truth is that most ov us didn’t practice like that in the beginning. We took it easy. Messed around with some things until we found a nice little sound and then progressed on it. if you’re a beginner, it’s good to practice the basic stuff, but don’t over do it or you’ll dislike playing. When you find something that you want to play and aren’t pulling it off, you already know this but, don’t give up. No one ever aces a riff or anything on the first try (at least when we were beginners)
another thing is to get used to using your ring and pinkie fingers when fingering. It’ll screw you over later if you don’t and it;s harder to get used to after a few years. another thing is to practice exercises to build up speed. playing fast doesn’t mean you’re a great guitar player, but there will be songs that require speed.
again, just keep practicing.
1 more thing. Learn how to read tablature and standard notation. This is good for learning to play songs that you like and picking up books and reading music.
A good investment would actually be a book on guitars. They shouldn’t be too expensive. I bought one for 8 dollars and it came with a CD. it was pretty good and helped me out.
If I made any mistakes, I’m sorry, It’s 4 in the morning.
Should I buy this guitar?
First of all, I really no nothing about guitars. I did not even know the difference between an acoustic and a classical guitar! Anyway, I “think” I found a good deal. It’s $100 for a Giannini Classical Guitar which also comes with its case, strap, spare strings, as well as something called a Chord Transpose Chart? *Shrugs* I spoke to the owner and he seems like a really nice old man! He says that he’s the only owner and it’s in great, great condition! I’m just worried that I’m being ripped off. I know it’s only $100, but it’ll hurt me emotionally if I get to know that I was ripped off, lol. Also, I’m Left-Handed! I read somewhere that a regular guitar can be modified and stuff, and I’m worried that this one cannot be! I’m seeing him tomorrow! Please help me! Please tell me what to do! Thank you!

Does he say what specific kind of Giannini classical guitar it is? The cheapest Gianninis go for a little over $150 new, but it depends on the specific model. Make sure you ask him. But seeing as how it comes with all the accessories, I’d say go for it. However, make sure that you inspect the guitar before buying it, if at all possible. Make sure that the neck is not warped and that there are no cracks anywhere.
As for being left-handed: you have two choices.
1) If you haven’t been playing guitar for very long, try to play it right-handed. One of my close friends is left-handed, but when he first started guitar he played right-handed and is now the best guitar player I know (personally). If you’re just a beginner, it won’t matter which hand does the fretting and which one does the strumming/picking.

Left Hand Classical Guitars Information
Right Hand Technique Used to Play Classical Guitar
You may have noticed that in order to play Classical Guitar players keep their right hand finger nails long but on their left they are usually clipped very short. The reason that the right hand nails are kept long is because they are used to pluck the strings and to play correctly a combination of the finger tip and nail is used to strike the string.
There has been much debate over how short or long the right hand nails should be in order to correctly play Classical Guitar, some players like the hard sound of just the nail striking the string and others prefer the softer sound of the meat of the finger. There is no “Correct” way it is a matter of personal preference and the ambiance that the piece is supposed to project. Part of the joy of playing Classical Guitar is the practicing of various pieces and experimenting with the different sounds as your mood changes.
If you want to see what I mean about the styles then you can watch the You Tube videos of John Williams and Andres Segovia playing Asturias they play in very different ways and yet both versions are beautiful! Both these players are and were the best in the world in their respective eras. Andres preferred shorter nails and used the top part of his fingers more and John uses more of the nail, which gives the more staccato sound to his music.
The right hand fingers used in picking are the thumb (p) the index (i) the middle (m) and the ring (a) each finger operates separately from the others and either side of the nail can be used to strike the strings. However it is usual for the fingers to strike the strings coming upwards and the thumb going downwards. The little finger is used to support the hand and usually rests on the face of the guitar just beneath the strings. Flamenco players however use all their fingers to strike the strings and mostly use a down stroke from the fingers. The “pima” sequence of the fingers is often used as an annotation to Classical Guitar music and this is one way that you can tell music that is specifically for the Classical Guitar.
Another aspect is the shape of the finger nails Scott Tennant the author of Pumping Nylon and one of today’s better players likes to shape the nails squarer than usual and advises that they should be angled so that the straight part strikes the string evenly, this enables a smoother release of the string. Segovia is said to have kept his nails shorter and not much longer than twice the width of the strings. Whichever shape and length you choose it will be necessary to use a high quality fine nail file preferably a stainless steel one, as these last longer, some extremely fine grained jeweler’s sandpaper and a high quality leather nail buffer. These are used in sequence to shape the nail and then smooth the tip, so that there are no parts that may snag the string. The buffer is used to polish all parts of the nail so that the string release is extremely smooth and predictable.
