Clarification: Of course, when I recommend going with a friend if you do not know enough about classical guitars I mean a friend who knows... Watch this one too: Things you probably did not know about classical guitars ruclips.net/video/bo8wtVFkxmI/видео.html
1. Budget - The price of the guitar is usually correlative to quality, however, you can get well-built, cheap guitars from the Yamaha and Cordoba brands. | 2:18 2. Size Matters - Choose the right size guitar for your body. | 3:39 3. Fret Sprout - Run your fingers up and down the edges of neck of the guitar to check for Fret Sprouting. If the frets cut into your finger, the wood of the guitar has shrunk. | 4:24 4. Action - The height of the string after the 12th fret (where the neck meets the guitar) is called the "action". The action on a classical guitar should be 4mm at the 6th string and 3.5mm at the 1st string. You can buy guitars with lower action than that but don't buy guitars with actions that are higher because the guitar will be very difficult to play. | 6:14 4.5. Fret Buzz - Take your time to play some notes on the guitar to determine whether the guitar gives significant fret buzz. A guitar that buzzes needs fret work or has a misshapen neck. | 7:04 5. Nut - If a nut is not well cut, the guitar will feel very unpleasant to play because the height of the strings will be too high at the 1st and 2nd frets. To determine whether the nut is well cut, hold the 6th string directly on the 3rd fret and tap on the 6th string directly on the 1st fret. The distance from the string to the fret should be practically zero, so if the string moves the nut is not well cut. | 7:57 6. Saddle and Break Angle - There should be enough saddle left on top of the bridge for filing. As you play overtime, the guitar will change and the bridge will have to be filed down in order to adjust the guitar properly. To know whether the saddle is correctly cut, press the 12th fret and see if there is any distance between the 13th fret and the string. There should be practically no distance. | 9:48 7. Tuners - The tuners should turn in a uniform way. The should not "jump" or wiggle as you rotate them towards and away from you. | 12:52 8. Avoid Twisted (Warped) Necks - You'll frequently see cheap classical guitars with warped necks. You can determine whether the neck is twisted by looking up the neck of the guitar from the head stock. | 13:46 9. Intonation - Check that the octaves sound equal when played on the guitar. | 15:41 10. Sound - Try multiple guitars at the shop that are within your budget and choose the one that has a sound that you like. | 17:36 Final Tip - Pick a guitar that you are in love with. Following all of these points is pointless if you don't feel attracted to the guitar that you're buying. You want to be excited to play it. | 17:51 Thank you for the comprehensive video! This has significantly helped me to understand what to look for when purchasing a classical guitar!
I am on a journey to give myself a classical education and learning to play a musical instrument in a traditional way is part of that. This video has been super informative and given me the tools I need to confidently purchase a guitar and begin to learn. Thank you so much.
You have a wonderful spirit for guitar. I've been playing since 1994 but I have never played classical. Thank you for the video. Guitar playing is my lifelong journey and soon I will be learning to play classical guitar. Thank you for your advice. I feel like I can get a good classical guitar now.
After watching your explanation, I brought a Spanish guitar branded Cuenca 45 Ziricote from my school. But I still eyed on your 'A' brand guitar. Great video. Love has no reason.
This is such an informative video. If only i knew about this before i bought classical guitars that somehow did not feel or sound good in the end !! Obviously, buying a classical guitar online is out of the question after seeing this ~
@@CesarAllGuitar You’re welcome, I can tell you’re a Spaniard and your love for the classical guitar is evident of being in your blood, I am in north central Florida. Wish you Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous 2022.
Thanks sooo much for this! I'm interested in buying a classical guitar because of the tone but I didn't realize they were constructed so differently and are so much more delicate.
Thank- you! I just bought a classical. I do buy based on feel and sound. But after seeing your video, I checked guitar out and am pleased. Got a good deal on a used Cordoba 55CFC Negra ( made in Spain).
Thank you!!! What an informative and detailed video. Love the video zoom to the guitar parts you are talking about. Makes it clear and so understandable to new guitar players. Looking forward to more videos from your channel!!!
Another way to check a classical is to play harmonics on the 5th, 7th, 12th and 19th frets. If it can do this and sound good, it should be well made i think. My brother in law says that a guitar should be like a woman, she must call to you. Spend the money. Find a way. Strum slowly the cowboy chords and some minor chords. You will know by the sound. Even if you don't play it often as you would like, when you have visitors, they will play it for you. When a luthier spends a month or more to build a guitar, how much should he receive for his hard work, $500. only? The buyer needs to be realistic. A beautiful hand made guitar will not be inexpensive. One buys cheap shoes to save money, but can't wear them. What good is this?
Wow sir. You are a master teacher. I never knew all this. I'm about to buy me a classical guitar and I will definitely look out for this. It all makes sense. Thanks.
Love your video. Thank you very much for the great advices...and falling in love with your guitar is not a silly advice :-) Loving your instrument will inspire you to play it more and enjoy the time spent playing.
You are an inspiration Cesar, and your love of classical guitar is infectious. I bought an Alhambra p9 cw e8, it came today from XGuitars. Thank you for introducing me to this instrument, it is so beautiful and sounds and plays beautifully. God bless you Cesar.
Another tip i saw somewhere: Gently tap with your fingertips the body of the guitar (while muting strings). Do it on the top side right under the bridge, and then at the opposite spot at the bottom. If the guitar has solid top and bottom, the top sound much lower than the bottom. In expensive guitar the difference is close to an octave. Is this a legitimate tip? Supposedly, it'sbecause the top is responsible for developing lower tones, and the bottom produces higher tones. If both pieces are of high quality a guitar should have a very good range. My cheap guitar is made out of laminat and that's why it fails this test.
Thanks for the comment! I know what I am going to say here is going to open a can of worms... But I come from the School of Antonio Torres Jurado ( 1897-1892) ... and what I can tell you is that you should not worry too much about sides and back. Antonio built a guitar made of cardboard sides and back with a solid wood top which is today exhibited at the Museum of Music in Barcelona, in order to demonstrate that the top is the only responsible of the projection in classical guitars. In my honest opinion, sides and back made of solid wood versus laminated does not make a lot of difference, but the top does. This gives enough content for another video :-)
Very nice video, and thank you for making it. I heard and played two beautiful nylon string guitars during the early 1980s. I remember th3 sound on both was distinct and beautiful, but at the time, they were around $2,000 and higher. Can you respond with a few names of them. The Resonance was so beautiful.
"You need to fall in love with THAT guitar." I have always found this to be true of horses, so it comes as no surprise that it would also apply to a musical instrument.
Perfect explanation from a true professional. Very informative. Thank you. I would appreciate if you would specify your best selection of ten classic guitars for intermediate to advanced players.
A good Video. Thanks. Note: My old Spanish met with a sad fate, so as a temporary standby I have just bought myself an amazingly cheap Chinese £50 Guitar that even more amazingly fulfills ALL of your criteria, (except one low fret at 12th on 6th String), AND it has a Truss Rod ! The Chinese are not coming, they have ARRIVED ! .
This is so helpful thank you! I am torn between buying a classical & an electro classical guitar. In your experience, do electro classical guitars still retain that traditional classical sound
Cesar what a great video and it answers all my questions. I just received an Alhambra 8 P from guitar center online. It looks and sounds great BUT it was made in February 2021 and it has FRET SPROUTS and HIGH ACTION at 4.5 mm on both sides. This is with the lower bridge it came with. Seems based on your input I should return it. I assume these guitars need to be stored in a temperature and humidity controlled environment. Not sure GC does that and especially since it’s 3 years old.
Very good advices and thanks. Its amazing to listen to the flamenco and classical guitars in spain. I visited Spain to discover that. Love the music you play . Bien Fiesta Maestro Thanks
Hi Cesar, Excellent Video 👍👍👍. Beautiful intro, David Gilmour is one of my Favourite Guitarist, incredible feeling to his playing, as you do too👍. Brilliant Advice for purchasing a good Classical Guitar, your last Point, to be attracted to the Guitar is so true, I remember when I first saw a Stratocaster the Shape of the Body and Headstock, I was in Love. Take care my friend ♥️👍. Melbourne, Australia.
Thanks so much John, really appreciate the comment. Yes,,, One day I will upload a video about the guitar that I love the most among all my collection...Cheers from Miami!
Thx i have 4 acoustic s and looking to get a classica,everrytime i buy a guitar ,i take it to my best Luthier ,guitar teck and have set up ,hes good thx for information
I can highly recommend my Ahambra 7C! Cedar top, beautiful reddish-brown mahogany back and sides and it sings like a bird. Because of my profession, I have to play without nails, but with D'addario titanium treble/silver-plated bass strings you still get the projection. A steal for $1,000 US.
Me looking at my fav trusty guitar that I have played for 12 years. Frets are sprouting, there is room when I press on the third fret. The saddle thing is on a 90 degree angle. It has a sliightly twisted neck, like 5 degrees. But it totally makes the 10th category : ). But I'll go shop for my next guitar soon.
5:22 the only guitar i ever sold, was one i got with a discount and later the freatboard shrunk :O must admit noone had ever told me the tipsfrom your point 5 onwards. And I have been playing for 17 years! (at Conservatorio)
Very informative! I wish I would have found this advice before I made my recent purchase. For several of the 10 points Cesar made, I would have looked further. I'll know better next time. Thank you for this video!
Cesar, me pareció fantástica tu ayuda a clarificar qué exactamente debo buscar en mi nueva guitarra. Algo que me hubiera gustado saber es, la maquinaria, los herrajes para el encordado y la afinación. Qué hay que prestar atención en esto? tienes algún video que lo explique? Realmente un video que debo guardar para verlo nuevamente cuando lo necesite y para compartirlo con mis amigos guitarristas. Muchísimas gracias por tu tiempo y compartir tu conocimiento!
Gracias Oscar! En general, esta implicitamente explicado en el video... referente a los herrajes, en los afinadores ( clavijas ) yo lo que busco es que las clavijas se muevan uniformemente y sin " saltos ". Respecto a la afinacion, comprobar el quintaje ( intonation ) tocando octavas.... esta parte es la que a veces en guitarras mas baratas esta fatal. Los afinadores ( clavijas ) tienen que ser realmente muy malos para influir negativamente en el tuning de la guitarra...
Estoy buscando una guitarra eléctrico acustica cuerdas de nylon pero que no pierda el sonido de nylon algunas cuando se conectan suenan más electrónica Gracias
Thanks for such an informative video. I followed all your suggestions regarding the space between the frets at the nut and the saddle, and thankfully my cheap Yamaha is okay - although I have spent a bit of time slowly and gradually sanding down both the nut and saddle - thanks again - great advice.
Wonderful video!! I found it very informative. I've been taking Classical lessons for the past few months and last week invested in an Almansa a-400 CW after trying out quite a few. Thankfully, it passes all 10 tests of quality.
