Good idea to combine the scale practice with staccato as a practice on articulation. This also helps with the misunderstanding between staccato and rest stroke (apoyando). Thanks again, Simon. This is a GREAT lesson, as always.
LOVE your explanation, I’m in my third year of enjoyment in the journey of guitar, totally seduce and many times frustrated I’m putting hours every day, and was expecting at this point to get “a bit” more, I know any expression of art required lot of work Don’t have a day without my guitar, and the best part of the day is tu tune it Thank you Simon I would like to download the 5 daily and don’t understand how
Best wishes, Thank you for a lovely session, nicely presented and I got it..really happy to practice with yr lessons.. I am 59 years, still fallen to learn more...Good day..
@@ClassicalGuitarCorner One quick note-I think the PDF, G Major scale note #5 in the tab may be incorrect-it says 4th fret on 2nd string, but it sounds off and on the way back up the scale, it says 3 (and that sounds right).
Thanks for your comment. We do have specific tutorials on nail shaping at CGC Academy in our Fundamentals course. You can also check out this lengthy blog on nails, which has practical advice on shaping here: www.classicalguitarcorner.com/nails-on-classical-guitar/
Thank you so much for this tips. It’s really helpful since I have been wondering how to get the right-hand fingers to have a smooth movement in playing fast scale since they all have different lengths 😂. In playing fast scale such as in Capricho Årabe, do you always use all “i m a” right hand fingers or just any two-finger combination?
Glad you found it helpful @Dodo Guitar. Regarding fingerings in Capricho Arabe, it really depends on the context. In general Simon uses a combination of i-m and p-i alternation. The p-i combination is a very good one for those scales on the bass strings. Happy scale practice! -Dave
Hi Simon. This is excellent advice and guidance. I really enjoy and learn loads from your teaching. Any chance of a tab version for those of us who can’t read yet?
Oh, you made a mistake about level 3 vs level 4, therefore you are not perfect and just a fraud. 😂 Jokes aside, this is about the best guitar tutorial ever! I have a question, what should the thumb in the right hand do when doing scales? Now I know you can't rest it on the guitar, but should you rest it on top E, loose in the air, or on top of every string you are doing the scale on? Hard to explain, this guy does it this way: ruclips.net/video/zITS0xU7pQY/видео.html. His thumb is constantly resting on string above, is that the correct technique and do you have any videos about that?
Hi Bruno! Great question. In general you can take one of three different approaches (each will be more comfortable for different people): 1. Let the thumb rest on a bass string if you are not playing any notes in the scale on the bass strings. This is great for stability in the RH. 2. Let the thumb hover in a relaxed way next to the index finger. The key here is relaxation, but the hand won't feel as stable as with the thumb resting. 3. Allow the thumb to follow the fingers by resting on the next adjacent string below the string you're playing on. So if the notes are on the third string, allow your thumb to rest on the fourth. If you're playing a descending line from the 2nd to the 3rd strings, allow the thumb to rest first on the 3rd string and then to the 4th when the notes shift to the 3rd string in the left hand. This is my recommendation. -Dave B

Great lesson. I like videos like this. Short, with the right amount of information and not so much talk rather than techniques.

Hi teacher, i was using 4 fingers in right hand to play scales and others things, i need change to 2 fingers?

We have some books in TAB but I will put a TAB version of this scale book on our "to do" list.
Thank you. I have your Graded Repertoire TAB edition. I find it an excellent guide to steady and measurable improvement of my progress.
Great video

Great video. I have always find that scales were a very boring exercise. But at the advanced age of 63, I know that I was wrong.
COOL
