    Hello Merce. Hope you’re well. Just found your channel. I’m a total beginner at 61 but enjoying it immensely. Lessons such as this are invaluable in teaching correct techniques. I find your lessons so easy to follow. So well articulated. Thanks so much

      Good on both you gentlemen for deciding to get into guitar, it's never too late to learn. If you would like any good classical guitar song recommendations to learn I'd be happy to show you some that help you learn to play yet sound great.

    Hi Merce, I'm 68, and picking up the clssical lessons lately. I bought a Yamaha GC 3D 1971 and its quality really pushes me to continue. I played the guitar when I was still young but only had time since my retirement to concentrate playing classical. Your lessons are not only extremely helpfu--it goes into the most basic techniques that others do not cover. Besides, your sincerity is infectious. Thank you !!!

    Thank you so much for this. I am primarily a rock/blues/metal player and any finger picking stuff I learned was in that "world" so more like the incorrect pluck. So in trying to learn classical guitar this has been my biggest roadblock and none of the previous videos I watched did a good job of explaining it like you did.

  • @MeadowsOfSound

    I am so glad to have discovered your tutorials. These are the sort of refinements I would have learned from my stepfather, who played classical guitar, and even studied under Segovia; but he has Parkinson's now, and can only advise me by phone-NOT the same experience! Thank you so much.❤

    Hello teacher, I have greatly improved my performance on the guitar by watching your videos and applying your knowledge and advice, it has been very difficult for me to play in a relaxed way, mainly in the scales, but little by little I have been overcoming it, thank you, I am not lost none of your videos.

    Thank you Merce! I've been slowly trying to learn classical guitar and have had lessons from 3 different teachers over the course of 3 or 4 years now. Not one of them ever talked about how the fingers will naturally return to their starting position if you focus on letting the entire hand relax. Fantastic lesson, thank you!!

    Most guitar players are not aware that you can 100% transfer most classical guitar techniques to other guitar styles. A great example is what you teach in this video which has won you a subscriber. Not following your advise can lead to so much injury. This is the first time I have seen this concept explained so well. I had read about it but you made it crystal clear. Thank you so much

Consequently, I have started to experience some pain. I really need to learn to relax the fingers and developing economy of movement. This is so important.

Keep doing what you love and stay safe 😊

It’s actually quite interesting how different the electric and the classical guitar are as instruments… for me, electric bass is a much closer instrument to electric guitar than classical guitar is.

I've been playing the electric bass for a long time and my whole life I've had the problem of not being able to play particularly fast. But your explanations showed me a few new points that might help. Maybe I can get further with this :-)
    Good luck and all the best for your career!

      Hi there! How’s it going with the transition so far? I play mostly jazz chord melody stuff and consider playing a nylon string as well as learning and applying some right hand technique to have some of this unique sound and feel under my fingers
