Only half-knowing I wanted to learn to play guitar. At the time I had been learning piano for a couple of […]
I’m a jazz guitarist and it’s my biggest dream to go there. I’ve just turned 16 and I really don’t know how good I should be to even have a chance at the audition. I can play the major/minor/melodic and harmonic minor scales and Maj7, min7,7 and min7b5 arpeggios in all positions, but I’m not […]

..Classical alright…i’ve waited long enough…I started learning guitar on classical/flemenco and something none of these posters have touched on is that the classical guitars and flemencos usually don’t have fret markers…maybe a 12th fret marker and that’s about it…some have the little dots on the side of the neck..but not too helpful..the rest is pure […]

UnfortunatleyI can’t go to Spain, but if you’ve had good a experience with books, software, websites etc. send me your recommendations please.

I’m learning how to play classical guitar and it’s become really easy to learn the chords. The biggest obstacle I have is that my fingers don’t seem flexible enough to flow through some chords in a song. Are there any methods I can use to make my fingers more flexible? there is a device that […]

I do find electric motors, though. So can anyone suggest […]
