Your main goal for the course is to play 3
pieces from the classical guitar repertoire, Canarios, Gavottes
1 and 2, and Leyenda. The premise of the
course is that you'll have much more success if you thoughtfully prepare before
jumping into the pieces.
Playing the classical guitar is such a
multi-sensory experience, and a video-based course is a great way to learn at
your own pace. You know that there are no shortcuts, but by following a logical
course that starts easy and gradually gets more challenging your experience will
be much easier and rewarding.
Classical guitar is beautiful and complex, but
that complexity can be intimidating, so in this course every musical phrase
will be broken into a manageable piece that's easy to work with, and easy to
put back into the whole of the piece.
The course starts with some brief introductory lectures that review the basics of the classical guitar approach, and then moves into scales. You'll customize your scale practice so that you're ready for each piece. It would be good to have some experience playing higher up on the fret-board, but you'll review the notes on the fret-board in the scales section, so you're prepared for everything that follows. Next, you'll start playing technical exercises that are unique to this course to prepare you for the piece that you'll be playing.
The lectures show the hands from a variety of angles, and in the lecture
descriptions you can find the time where each camera angle changes. The
lectures on the pieces start with a small chunk played up to speed, then a slow
walk-through the notes, followed by a more in-depth lesson on each hand.
You'll also get downloadable PDF files of
every scale, exercise, and piece, so not only will you receive a full score of
"Leyenda" and the other pieces that are in the course, but you'll have a clear view of
how to play every single note. This course doesn't contain any guitar
tablature, but remember that you will be able to see and hear every last note
in the course in the video lectures.
I hope you'll continue your journey with this
course by clicking the button that says "Start Learning Now" and
enrolling in the course and enjoying lifetime access to the lecture videos and
sheet music files. Thanks for reading and I wish you the best with your guitar
playing.
