Thank you so much for the stretching tip. I recently bought the Cordoba C9 parlor which I really love but was still having trouble with horizontal stretches. Iv'e been tempted to buy an even smaller guitar but after some research decided that the smaller guitars won't give me the quality of sound so after watching your video I made a few adjustments to the position of my guitar and now I can fairly easily reach the fourth fret. I know i won't ever reach fret 5 as I'm 80 yrs old but i will continue enjoying my C9p. I appreciate all your work.

Thank you for giving me greater confidence going forward!!
Great stuff.
Great video.
Thanks teacher
Extremely helpful. Even though I mainly play the electric guitar, I will watch my guitar's fingerboard when I am sitting down, not to keep it parallel to the floor, but more diagonally instead. What I am going to keep parallel to the fingerboard is my knuckle line (I had already started correcting that, though). Thank you very much for this excellent video.
Thank you so much for posting such a hugely helpful video - very much appreciated :)
Glad it was helpful!
THanks for the video. I discovered your site and TH-cam channel a year ago. I bought the first two books from amazon. The books were delivered today. I'm looking forward to studying them. I like your way of teaching. It's very clear, simple and motivating. Greetings from Montreal, Quebec. You're the best!
Glad to hear, greetings from BC.
What a BRILLIANT video! Im an intermediate player but have smallish hands too and have often struggled with vertical stretches, mainly low G to high G....Many Thanks for this.
My pleasure, glad it helped.
Thanks its wonderful….. Now I know my problems 😊👍👌
Happy to help
Hi Bradford. I bought your book "10 classical etudes" and im very happy with my purchase i think is an excellent work!!!! i am stuying the first etude by sor in page five but a have doubts in what does "D.C to Fine" means. does it is a repetition? and if it is so..... do i have to take in consideration the repettion bars??? Thak you for your kind answer.
D.C al Fine = Da Capo al fine = go back to the beginning and play until the Fine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Da_capo
Oh, and usually during the da capo we don't play any of the repeats again.
so, I have this problem where, if I use my middle finger to reach the 6th string, it takes me a lot of effort to get my other fingers to bend enough to reach the first string. From what I can see in the mirror, my knuckles are in the correct position, and I have my guitar pretty high up. Is this something I can train for or are my fingers just... too long?
Hi Bradford,have you ever had hand injuries from guitar?-I have a thumb issue at the moment
I had a bad injury during jazz school with electric guitar (long long ago in a far away land), had to take 6 months off. Horrible experience. It's haunted me ever since as the injury flares up even 20 years later. But, I've learned to deal with it and it forced me to work out my tension and relaxation issues. Also, I notice the signs right away now and know when to stop playing and let my hands rest (difficult with so much teaching and practicing). But just like this virus, the more careful we are in the present the better it will be later.
@@Thisisclassicalguitar thanks for reply , stopping playing is very difficult and for long enough .barre chords are the culprits i think
Get used to identifying the culprit and immediately switch to other techniques. Easy to find other things to practice.
@@Thisisclassicalguitar took few days off and did feel improvement ,playing again careful of the barre s and few other twisty chords that put my wrist unavoidably in odd position, biggest thing is cutting back on hours of practice and soaking my hand in ice water after it , cold as i can bear , for long as i can bear , this is great benefit i think . hoping i can heal while still doing some practice , was it your fingers or thumb or wrist that was injured?
Lots of other things to practice such as analysis, musicianship, history, and other research.
Spanish subtitle pls...
"These strings are really easy to push down"
Only because...
1) $1500+ guitar with very low clearance string to fret.
2) years of practice to harden up the pulps of the fingers on the left hand.
Why not advanced level learners ? Teach us some technics and pieces more practical for advanced pleeeeeeease!
Well, advanced players are...advanced already! What I'm really saying is, I think advanced techniques are a combination of being solid at all the essential intermediate techniques. If everything is really under control the advanced level just emerges. You might want to check out my technique book, I have a playlist of lessons for it too, the early-advanced technique routine might be of use...th-cam.com/play/PLVzwBH6y7aM6hQwXylxoegBPNIPcIp83y.html
This is Classical Guitar thanks a million !
This is Classical Guitar By the way dearest Bradford! I am a dyslexic and you are a real teacher! Because indirectly you showed me the right spelling for the word “technique” and made me never forget it 😉 Thanks.
