classical guitar

I got me a decent 1st classical guitar ~$500, from a prominent online retailer. It arrived today, but then I noticed this: I contacted the sales rep right away, sent him a couple of pics (this one ^ included). The response I got was: ---- "Oh no! Many apologies for this! I have Tech Support...

Hello, everyone. This is my first post here so I figured I’d share something I recorded lately. I found this cool piece while reading through some sheet music the other day, and I really liked it. Sort of a mixture of Bossa Nova and traditional classical guitar technique in one short little...

Hey, everyone! Once I took a challenge to make a cover for the song of Polyphia called 'Nightmare'. I really like this song and also like to play the classical guitar and (of course) seven string guitar. So you can see what I've done after my decision to make not just a regular cover. This...

I'm searching a groovy flamenco song(that is pretty up tempo) to play on my classical guitar, not really my normal genre but I'd like to work on flamenco techniques. If you could include a link to a sheet music it would be appraciate. Thanks lot.

The PDF which D'addario offers here: http://www.daddario.com/Resources/JDCDAD/images/tension_chart.pdf has a number of errors in what would otherwise be the most useful section to me personally (since I play extended range classicals), on page 10 under the heading "Silverplated Copper Wound on...

A little while ago I recorded a piece by Bach! This was my first run of it, I phrase it much differently now. Let me know what you think! https://soundcloud.com/mike-gans/some-bach

Hello, all. I'm one of the guys that posts walls of text to answer questions on string gauge in the standard/7/extended range/bass sections of the forum, thanks to being too comfortable with and quite addicted to Ishan's handy downloadable string gauge calculator. I've been quite satisfied with...

Hi again, here is (yet) another rather special guitar you won't find very often: An Ibanez SC500NNT, serial number F97..., made in Japan. This particular model appeared in the catalogs 1998 and 1999 exclusively. It came into my hands back in 2003. It is a hybrid construction, that is...

Hello all :) For a while now I've been researching and testing out various strings and scale lengths / tunings for an extended range nylon string guitar. I thought I would share this information here in the rare event that it would be useful or interesting to somebody :lol: Hopefully it will...

:scratch: Wait............that's not my guitar :evil: Got this Manuel Rodriguez C Cedar Top on Craigslist today for a low low price of 375$ with Case. I kind of feel bad, because this guitar plays as good as some 1000+ dollar guitars I have played and the gator case is a great addition. On...

Classical Guitar Score Archive This should keep me busy for a while...

Saw this and thought you guys might wanna' take a look. A pretty cool classical trio:

I :wub: my cheapo Ibanez AEG10NE, but the tuning pegs on it leave a lot to be desired. Is there such a thing out there as a locking type tuner that'd be a drop-in replacement for the stock ones? I at least need something with a stronger gear mechanism, because even with light strings any...

Me, I've spent a few days working at Villa-Lobos' 'Etude #1', which is an awesome piece, plus a little bit of Bach's 'Bouree in E Minor'. I've also started dipping into my book of Fernando Sor studies again. I also started working at Paganini's 'Caprice #5' again for the first time in years...

Attempting to play Bach's keyboard music on classical guitar. You have to transpose the bass parts up or down an octave a lot of the time, which usually ruins the contrapuntal feel, and on top of that I keep running out of notes within a practical finger-span. The wierd part is, I can see...
