I have played guitar and classical guitar for some years now, but I am pretty blank on which piece I should learn now so I hope I can get some recommendations. Preferably something that is a bit hard to play (:

Hey,

I was wondering how you would go about arranging songs with mostly simple chord progressions onto the classical guitar. I want to accompany my church congregation with the classical guitar but (as a beginner to the classical) I'm not sure the best way to go about it.

I could just strum chords but I would like to almost take the place that the piano usually would take and make the guitar section slightly more complex.

I would be mostly avoiding the melody of the song so is there an interesting technique you would use to arrange the songs?

Maybe I'm overthinking what I should be doing but even in the case I am I'm still curious for my own learning outside of actually playing live!

Guitar Center and Sweetwater and whatever else demolished smaller mom and pop shops. Those big box stores deal with big companies with a ton of cookie cutter inventory. Whereas before a small store could build a relationship with a small luthier from Spain or Mexico ect… But cutthroat capitalism put both out of business

Any other older classical guitar players frustrated with only one or two brands that make up the mass market?

Is this note on the same string but played twice or something? I don't get it!

Hi, I’m been playing acoustic steel string guitars for a while, and have also delved into electric recently. Now I’m looking for a new sound, in the realm of guitars but without having to add a bunch of effects. So I thought Classical guitar!

Essentially I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations on these two pathways I’ve stated in the title of this post. What recommendations do people have if I’m looking for a new but best bang for your buck guitar?

Or

I can’t afford a crazy expensive new guitar, but maybe I’d be willing to push the spending a little bit if it were preowned. What recommendations are there for that route of spending?

Essentially, which spending pathway do people think I should go down, and then what guitars do people recommend in each of those spending categories?

Please forgive me if this post is confusing! I hope it makes sense

I wanna learn bach's chaconne but idk from whose transcription should I learn it from. I kinda segovia's version but I wanna know if there's any better transcripts available or should I learn it directly from the original violin score.

As stated, I am looking for a book on guitar scales, in standard notation. Not looking for a book with exercises per say, just the major and minor scales. Any suggestions? I know I can google and get the answers but I prefer to put up a book on my music stand and practice that way. Thanks!

I had my lesson this morning and wonder when easy will actually be easy. Having written this, I played (mangled) this song last Christmas and took it out last week to try again. I should be able to play it this year without tripping over my fingers.

I’m self-teaching classical guitar and I’m having a tough time figuring out how to depress the string for optimal sound during a free stroke. It’s simple for a rest stroke as my finger can just go to the next string, however avoiding contact with the next string while maintaining a depression on the string with a free stroke feels borderline impossible.

Any tips?

I've been working my way thorough Sor Op.60 and this is #14. Guitar is a Ramirez 1a Tradicional and recorded with a Zoom IQ7 mic with iPhone.

(First time trying to post a Soundcloud link; will it work I wonder?)

EDIT: It didn't work, so here's the link.

I just got into classical guitar around 2 days ago, I’ve already learned the first part of the bourree and I really like Bach but I don’t know what else I should learn because I’m also new to classical music in general. Can anyone give any recommendations?

I’m looking for a guitar with rosewood back/sides and spruce top, I’m interested in a cutaway as well. I don’t wanna spend more than $800, any recommendations?

Hi i have to learn a piece from renaisance period for a college asignment, but i've been really busy this semester looking for a job, already did a quick research but also decided to ask you guys for recommendations. I'm looking for a fairly simple piece that could be learned in around 2 weeks, i don't need to sound amazing and i'm still on the job hunt.

Hey everyone,

I've been playing guitar for 8 years now but I'm entirely self-taught. My skills are pretty okay. I can play asturias, el vito and I'm working on song of the golden dragon. My problem is I've reached a point where while I can play a lot of things I feel like there are holes in how I do everything. My tremolo isn't good still, I can't read sheet music, only tabs and my tempo isn't that good. I want to get to the next level. The reason I'm self taught is that I come from a third world country where the lessons were pretty bad, I'm in Aachen, Germany now and i looked for a conservatoire or something like that but I couldn't find any classical guitar places. If anyone has advice, whether it be online resources or somewhere near me that'd be amazing.

Thank you
