What's "Classical" Guitar then?
There are several sorts of acoustic (ie non-electric) guitar. My speciality is Classical Guitar.
"Classical Guitar" isn't classical music - as you'll hear from my soundclips - it's a way of playing guitar. Here's a short video where you can study what each hand does...
Strings
The Classical Guitar has plain and wire-coated nylon strings, instead of the steel strings of a Folk Guitar.
The sound is mellow and the strings are easy to press - you won't get sore fingers!
Playing technique
We sound the Classical Guitar with thumb & fingers rather than a pick - we can feel the strings and we select just the ones we want, rather than having to finger them all.
Classical Technique gives you the skills to play to Fingerstyle Folk, Ragtime, Electric Bass and Spanish Guitar too!
Music
If you can't read music, I'll teach you - it's surprisingly easy and logical, and I have tricks to help you learn!
Buying a guitar
If you don't have a suitable guitar, I can recommend proven models to suit all pockets.
Pieces you'll learn
I'll teach you accessible music that spans the ages and in a variety of styles from all around the world...
From mediaeval dances to modern day classics, from Japan, Spain, South America, Ireland and more.
I chose the piece in the video so that you can hear what you'll be playing soon if you join me as a complete beginner!
