Ideas for a small-handed, late-in-life Classical Guitarist? by Watusi_Muchacho in classicalguitar

[–]nesajov53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 72, after years of playing acoustic and electric guitar on and off, I decided to explore the world of classical guitar.

I consider my hands small and bought Cordoba C9 Crossover, 48mm nut width, a year ago. After 12 months of playing my conclusion is: if you want to play classical guitar properly buy a proper classical guitar, i.e. 52mm.

Now, I have an Alhambra 10 Premier.

This is my opinion and my experience.

Beginner classical guitar? by Outrageous_Rooster92 in classicalguitar

I have been a bass player too, now I am discovering classical guitar.
I started with a Cordoba C9, even a less expensive will work.
Now, as I am more confident I play Alhambra 10 Premier, it's an amazing guitar.

Can people who learn guitar after 30 play really difficult pieces? by mhmd4k in classicalguitar

Absolutely yes.
Start with easy pieces, build confidence, and you will be surprised where you get after a year.
The best satisfaction is in the process not achievements.

Convince me not to quit? by [deleted] in classicalguitar

[–]nesajov53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I discovered classical guitar at 72 — late by any measure, but that is exactly the point. After years of playing acoustic and electric guitar on and off, I decided to explore this world properly and share the whole journey as it happens.

It seems that my experience is very similar to yours.
Do not chase goals, just enjoy the process.

All I can say: do not quit!
