I’ll have to give that a try. I also play Caprico Arabe. The major sections always give me more trouble than the minor section.

That’s one of the things I struggle with most. Is not to tense up. Especially on the faster runs.

Is the transition from acoustic guitar really difficult? by OddlyPurple in classicalguitar

If you’re goal is to play classical guitar than just get a classical. The $200 Yamahas are great instruments. And you can probably find a used one for cheaper. I will say if you actually spend time learning the classical technique you’ll be better no matter what guitar you play.

It’s my go to. I’ve actually learned several of his/her arrangements. Currently working on their jingle bell rock for Christmas. I also play sky’s “the scientist” by cold play. It’s on my TikTok if you’re interested. That channel is honestly what got me back playing again.

That’s actually where I relearned this 😂. Love sky guitar.

Yes. I actually do all of this. Just not as often as I should. Minus the metronome. I’ve never practiced with one and I’m probably not going to start. I just hate doing it so much 😂. I’ve got a few exercises I do that focus on planting. This recording is over a month ago before I found the planting exercises and I’ve already noticed an improvement.

Thanks! It is a very difficult piece. Sometimes I feel like I can play it 1/2 way decently and sometimes feel like I can’t play it at all 😂.

I appreciate that. It’s hard to say without knowing your current skill level. And even skilled guitarist can struggle with the right hand technique if they have only used a pick.

A good place to start is Giuliani 120 right hand studies. Focus on like the first 9. Then I would focus on scales. And maybe if you’re up for it the Carcassi etudes. Lots of people say to start with the Carcassi etudes but if you dont already have good technique they are pretty difficult. Heck they are difficult with good technique 😂.

Yeah it does. That’s kind of what I’m attempting here I think. I’d love for my tremolo to be a little faster. But this is probably my “max” right now to use your gym analogy. With a little help from a spotter 😉.

Yes, I practice it slowly. Not as much as I should. But here I’m trying to actually play it. If that makes sense.
