I was watching this video vaguely looking for advice on my playing and ended up on a "how to enjoy and live life fully" advice😁, absolutely love it either way!! Keep sharing with the world!!!
Many thanks Allen Matthews!!! one of your weekly emails, led me to an article (containing this video). i am never satisfied with how far I have come in guitar or in many things I do (and that was a huge practice block), but your words of wisdom have really helped, it just lifted a weight of my shoulder. I can't over emphasize how helpful this was to me!!!!
I have never been able to play that we'll but for the last few months have taken the approach you shared on the video. I just concentrate on scales, dexterity and arpeggios every single day and just leave about 15 mins for grade 2 - 3 pieced mainly etudes by Garcia. it seems.better than taking on some mammoth piece and trying to struggle through.
Sir few days ago I've bought a classical guitar but i don't know where to start and I've no money to enroll any guitar course. only youtube is my option. can you suggest me something?? Thanks in advance
Hi Allen!! I have a question... I am picking up my guitar once again, but now i am learning classical/folk type of music. Well, Fingering is not new to me, but the way I fingerpicking my guitar is different from classic type. I strongly believe, Workout is stupid for teacher-less guitarist because we dont know if we do things correctly and none point out the mistake or bad habits. Do you have some recommendation some easy song with easy fingerpicking to build muscle memory ? you can give me all type of picking sequences whether it is P-M, P-I-M, P-I-M-A etc - as long as it is easy and i can have fun and build muscle memory both for right and left hand.
Hi Roughnight, For training the right hand muscle memory, I like to use a simple set of chords that moves up the neck and sounds nice. Then I use those chords with whatever right hand I'm currently working on. That way you get the practice, and it sounds like music. You can see the chords and the right hand technique I use here: www.classicalguitarshed.com/arpeggios/ Good luck!
Thank you for your videos and inspiration! I'll keep this in mind. Ps...I'm having a tricky time transitioning into the 1st triplet section of Leyenda...is the 1st note (the low E) and the following triplet counted and felt as a quadruplet? I know it's in a separate voice and it's on the down beat but the following E an octave higher also has to be played in that same down beat, right? I set my metronome and play it in time and it fits in the bar but it's still not fluid. I'm sure it's just a matter of practice of course...anywho, is it a quadruplet? 😂

Thanks Sir. This is the best guitar advice I have come across yet.
Helpful reminders thank you
Thanks, Ian!
Ha! Joseph Campbell references , I dig this guy.
Real perspective for guitar and for life. Thank you for reminding me...
So much life philosophy in this video, less guitar hints. Honestly
A beautiful broad perspective exactly what I'm looking for.
