I don't practice much actual classical repertoire anymore, I'm mostly a steel string singer-songwriter type mf. But I always come back to the nylons to work on "Danza Brasilera". I feel like I should know more than one piece right now and would love to learn more in this style but don't know where to look. Any recommendations? Thanks!
i want to know how to make the song cleaner with less buzzing how should i go about practicing it to clean the song up other then just playing the song over and over
I wonder if classical guitar or acoustic guitar sounds closer to a piano.
When listening to this music on nylon guitar it seems acoustic guitar could give a better sound
what do you think?
I wanted to give MuseScore a try for free 7 day period. They charged me 40$ when I complained they offered me 25% of it back or an extra 6 months?!? Anyways it’s terrible, and the app isn’t good anyways… so what do you guys use? I use ultimate guitar tabs for my pop/punk stuff but other than random googling, I don’t have a steady spot to find good music. Anyone have ideas?
Has he not published it since his recording? It's such an enchanting arrangement yet all I could find online was Minami's or Gubbay & Duarte's transcriptions, paid or pirated. They were both great but after trying a bit neither seemed to be the exact version as Bream played on the album The Art of Julian Bream. It'd be a shame if the exact version was never released, and it's impossible given my pathetic knowledge to transcribe his recording myself... TBH I'd pay any price (as far as sheet music's worth) for Bream's exact arrangement, but I just can't find it.
My current guitar is a hand-me-down and it’s served me well, but I’ve been creeping up the fretboard and I realized one day that basically all of my eleventh frets were playing the same note as the twelfth.
Can I fix this at home? Do I need to go to a repair shop? Please help
The nylon strings on my Classical guitar usually take 3-4 days to wear in and not go flat between practising. Is this normal or do I need to adjust my technique at the machine heads?
I used to spend a lot of time on Dirk's Guitar Page about 20 years ago and I suspect other people here did.
If I'm not mistaken it's now back in its entirety at this address:
(Yes the address looks dodgy but it is indeed Dirk's Guitar Page)
So I'm a beginner at Classical Guitar (1 Month now). Tracking my progress in learning and POLISHING Capricho Arabe so far. I learned the Entire thing within 3 days and today marks as my first day of polishing the piece. My problem now stems with the fact that when the Piece is brought up it's often correlated to "Very Hard" which is mainly the reason I avoided the piece for quite a while. But looking at it, it is indeed hard but not to the level they projected at me, and I believe it is manageable. It's the opposite case of Gran Vals which I SEVERELY underestimated and took me a 3 days to learn and a week to polish.
I'm preparing for a Trinity Grade 6 performance exam and the pieces I've chosen change tunings a lot (one in standard, one in EBDGBE, two in drop D). Is it okay to use an electric tuner in the exam?
I can tune by ear, and have planned to organise the pieces to limit the amount of tuning needed (EBDGBE > standard > drop D), but just thought using an electric tuner would be safer in the exam setting.
Hi everyone. Advice needed. N a easy setup. It’s always a mystery on how to best record classical guitar. I want to keep it as basic as possible. Mic—preamp—computer—daw—-. What types of mic setup for beginner? 1 v 2 mics. And another question how do you add a splash of reverb once recorded?
I'm new at guitar and the people on this sub are talking about grades. What are they?
I haven’t played classical guitar since school (a long time ago!), and my school never offered grades so I never knew what level I was at. I’ve started learning this, and wondered what grade it is considered to be? Thanks
Does anyone know any?
Easy btw, nothing to hard because I'm a beginner Who knows a few pieces but nothing fancy 😅😂
