Want to learn classical guitar but need a starting point?

ive been playing guitar for 3 years now, and i’ve gotten really good (i don’t mean that to be conceited or anything >.<)
at first like every guitarist i started out with rock, then i moved onto jazz
im at the point where i can sight read most jazz and i know how to form all the chords and everything
so my next guitar task is learning classical guitar, but i have no idea where to begin
should i hire a guitar teacher to help me learn how to play it
or is there any piece i can start learning or things to practice to learn how to play classical guitar?
Also, another reason i want to learn is because i’m a junior in high school and im going to be
going to college in a year, and all college auiditions require classical pieces

Hello,

The best thing you can do is to find a good teacher. If you have trouble doing that, then I would recommend that you acquire a copy of the following:

There are others that are also very good, but to my knowledge, this is about the most popular classical method on the market these days. I hope that helps.

Be well,
Donny

    I suggest finding a teacher that can help you with playing classical guitar. You can also buy some books that will help you practice, and, if you really can’t go to lessons, learn from them. If you will try to learn classical guitar yourself it’s gonna take you longer, but, being good in guitar is already better and obviously, will learn it much earlier than someone who just started guitar. You can also find some sites online that can help you even more!

    Good Luck!
