So impressed by your playing and willingness to help people start Classical guitar.
Yes I will use this to it's full potential
Hi Bradford, I was looking for beginner’s classical guitar lessons and there you were. A warm hello to you from Vancouver, BC. I’m very impressed with your style of teaching, calm tone of voice and thorough explanations. I have subscribed to your channel and will now go peruse your website. Thank you for doing what you do!
The best first lesson. Period. Thanks and you have a new subscriber :)
Awesome, thank you!
Very grateful for your book and very clear video instructions, I am following all the exercises . Warm regards from Sweden!
Thanks for the 'proper' technique. My lessons start very soon and I've been picking up where I left off on my own with Duncan from a couple of years ago. Appreciate the thumb placement with the arpeggios and of course the PDF.. I often run into a traffic jam.
Glad it was of help. More lesson can be found in a list here: www.thisisclassicalguitar.com/lessons/
I am starting to learn classical guitar with no knowledge. Will learn from zero with you.
Thank you from Vietnam!
Thanks for the video. I took classical guitar a couple of years ago but had to stop because of a deformed thumbnail. Recently, I saw a video stating some of the greatest classical players didn't use nails. So, I'm back at it using your lessons. Thanks!
I'm an old metalhead, just found this channel.
Tired of the same old noise.
So
Thanks for being here man.
Before this I got an ad about pianos..........
I've tried lots of different things in my life but never the guitar.Here lately I've had the desire to try to play.From watching the video you appear to be a great teacher.I'm going to refer back for my beginners training. Keep up the good work & Thanks for your expertise.👍👍
So grateful to you for your generosity. I found your material by our friend Google, and was impressed with both your presence and your material. Wow, so happy. I am a beginner and a senior citizen, ambitious, eager to see what I can accomplish. Many thanks from here in Gatineau, QC. 😊
Nice to hear, greetings from BC. I have lots of friends in Gatineau!
I can't see what you're doing. Maybe a split screen with a close up on both hands.
Sir ,on page number 11 of Volume 1, . D and G should it be the 3rd or the 4th finger. Please advise
If you are using the 2017 edition of the book it clearly states the finger (4th). If you don't have the most recent version you can download it for free. www.thisisclassicalguitar.com/free-classical-guitar-method-book-pdf/
Very helpful, thanks (and thanks that it's all free!).
Very helpful.. thanks a lot for all your kind efforts. Love from India.❤️🙏
Thank you! I just finished my 3rd Masters in 7 years, my youngest of 7 is a college freshman, and it’s time to relearn! I’m so glad I found this. Kept my classical guitar all these years. Hard to play when you’re pregnant or a house full of kids.
I’m a lefty and my first college prof taught me to play left handed. Do you recommend I turn it around and see if I can do it this way? I knit and use scissors right handed, for reference.
Well, I would go back to however you played before, the muscle memory will still be there so no need to relearn it all.
made simplex,I'll work that now for while
Thank you very much sir, the video makes it much easier to understand
Very nice, exactly what I need.
This is wonderful. I teach some beginning guitar students. they can get so discouraged if they are older. This method might help them learn simply and without such pressure or stress. Thank you!
I hope so!
Hello Bradford,
First, thank you for your gift to us.
Secondly, I want to give feedback about my experience: after getting my Alhambra Z Nature earlier today, I have tuned it and practised this lesson for a while. I don't have a foot support yet so I used a box. I tried to be slow mostly, like you said, letting the sound be without cutting it short. I did over do it on the first day though, in terms of practice time! I'll keep it shorter the next days.
Thirdly, I just wanted to tell you that, even though I am following your course, I am interested in learning about using flesh instead of nails, I don't know if you have any advice? I have been reading on the difference in technique (Francisco Tárrega supposedly argues the fingers need to "hit" the cords at a 90º angle with this technique).
Anyway, I wish you a great day and I thank you again for this gift.
Tomorrow at the same time for the next lesson!
For now just use flesh and no nails. I always start beginners without nails anyway.
@@Thisisclassicalguitar Okay, thanks for answering! Will do.
I will use this opportunity to ask you:
Besides the routine on technicality, can I challenge myself by trying to learn the easiest peace from Tárrega? And maybe finish with another round of the easy "peaces" as to feel accomplished in the day like you recommend. Sorry if my English is not so good!
THANK YOU MAESTRO!

Thanks for the time-stamps
Thank you for helping us learn to play the classical guitar. It has been a 45 year old dream.
Is using your pinky to rest on the guitar while you pluck p i m i okay?
In general, for "classical guitar" we do not rest our pinky finger. However, fingerstyle players and lute players sometime do so it depends on your goals. I teach with no resting of the pinky.
I am subscribing to you because you look like Mark Wahlberg haha
Oh good, at least I'm not Jason Bateman today.
@@Thisisclassicalguitar hahahahaha
Awesome video! Although I do need to learn the Termanology used...
Much nicer, much more helpful, if a close-up of the hand(s) were featured here.
i admit. I am really surprised a metronome is not being introduced in this video or even mentioned
I usually don't introduce metronomes until a student can feel the rhythm naturally first and then the metronome is used to check consistency and evenness of the beat. In my experience, with some students, they try to follow the metronome rather than feel or tap the beat and it complicates the beginner phase.
@@Thisisclassicalguitar Thanks. i have been playing guitar for years (rock and jazz) but decided to give fingerstyle a chance since my old guitar teacher was classically trained and feel i finally have the patience for it. Just something i am use to too. But your vids have been helpful.
Very nice lesson! I’ll be following your classes.
nice i learn but is complicated because i am a romanian thanks : )
I did about 1 week for plentiful research after 81 hours I finally went down to the Cordoba C7 Cedar, my first guitar c: cant wait to start next week when Sweetwater comes :D
Hope it works out for you!
I got your PDF. Thanks. It is really good for me.
Danke , für die sehr gut verständlichen Videos. Sehr gut haben Sie die Richtige und Falsche Haltung gezeigt, sodass es auch für mich mit wenig Englichkenntnis gut verständlich ist. Danke.
I really hope for the sake of Humanity that this goes from 1.5k likes to like 1.5 million likes.
Ha, I don't foresee that happening but thanks so much! Enjoy.
omg thank you
Very nice. Thank you.
Thanks to you... I'm making myself take classical lessons all over again. 😁
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy it!
это русский акцент?
I will order book in germany thanks.
Hi...nice lesson. But I dont have finger nails..what do I do?
Don't worry about nails at this level. I always start my students without nails and introduce them later if the student wants/can have them.
@@Thisisclassicalguitar
Ok I will start learning starting today..I will follow your instructions from here on out..thank you teacher
Are you fingerpicking these exercises or using rest stroke?
I recommend free stroke for beginners, until their hand positions are relaxed and secure.
Is your tuning EADGBE?
YES
So helpful ty
Glad it was helpful!
Do your students really learn a whole song n the first lesson?
sa Yes, but because it is essentially an open string right hand exercise it is easy to do from the beginning. The first lesson the student leans how to sit, hold the right hand, some rhythms, and this open string piece.
What if you're fat?
A person's weight does not matter. Although, a guitar support might help: www.thisisclassicalguitar.com/ergonomic-guitar-rests-support-ergoplay/
@@Thisisclassicalguitar My hands are really not at all flexible, at 53 they still work ok I guess.
Any tips?
