How can I learn classical music on a guitar?
I want to learn to play classical music on the guitar, but I am afraid I don’t know where to start. An instructor is not really an option at this moment, however any books, websites or general information would be nice. Thanks.
Fred Noad’s "Solo Guitar Playing" Volume 1 is a great resource. You can buy a version with a CD so that you can be sure that what you’re doing is what’s intended! It’s hard to teach yourself – if you’re not sure how to do something, you can’t ask yourself what you’re doing wrong! Why not have occasional lessons just to keep yourself on the right path?
YouTube *can* be good, but there’s some awful rubbish up there too, and no way of knowing what’s good and what’s not.
I hope you enjoy what can be a wonderful hobby, either as a solo instrument or in a group.
