Super helpful Elias! Thanks buddy

[@guystewart9084]

Thank you Josh! I have this book too. However, I am teaching myself how to read the standard notation. It is frustrating to want to do the exercise and be slowed by my current poor reading skill. I do believe my brain will recognize things much faster as I practice. Just wanted to say ALSO watching someone play and how it should sound helps someone like me!

[@nbnguitar]

You’re more than welcome Guy. Have you finished all of them?

[@guystewart9084]

@@nbnguitar No! WIP and challenge for me. But I am enjoying the journey. Thanks for the reply!

[@veteranaz6993]

I like your humbleness Josh. Even though you are a great and amazing guitarist but you still teach guitar with care and passion. I have seen many guitarist on youtube, but none so far has the attitude and personality and the type of music you provide for us. So thank you very much for all these great music you teach us.

[@nbnguitar]

Malie thank you kindly. I'm very passionate about the guitar and about teaching people carefully and imparting as much knowledge as I can in a relaxing but thoughtful way. I'm really happy that you enjoy my style and piece selection.

[@DrFelixgomez]

Amazing teacher

[@nbnguitar]

Thank you Dr. Felix. I’m so happy people are still getting value from this video. Thanks to M. Guiliani for leaving these incredible studies to the guitarists of his future.

[@binhyc11]

I have been really enjoying your videos. But suddenly, the rest of the series were unavailable? Is there something wrong?

[@nbnguitar]

Hi. I'm glad you've been enjoying them. I've made them private because they are going to become part of a paid course that I am developing for beginner guitarists. The course will be launched in a couple of weeks. Is that something you would be interested in?

Hi sir, I am learning Classical Guitar as a hobby. Please suggest me the core exercises I need to practice out of 120? Not sure if it is a difficult question to answer :), just an approximity , Sincerely

[@nbnguitar]

The core is all…

[@brandonhenshaw27]

can anyone give me some advice on how you're supposed to play the flourish whole note at the end? doesn't seem like there is any explanation of it anywhere. looks like you're somehow supposed to hit three strings with your thumb at once and then use your other two fingers on the high strings.. why wouldn't you just strum all 5 with your thumb, or use your other fingers to help out?

[@nbnguitar]

You can play it in any number of ways including a rolled arpeggio, block chord, strum with the thumb or any finger, rasguedo, even artificial harmonics if you wanted to incorporate those for practice. All the best Brandon!

[@Alan_Edwards]

Hello Joshua, not sure if you monitor for comments, but I have a question. I am not a classical guitarist, although I have worked on a few "classical" type songs like Classical Gas, but I do love to finger pick. I have been working through the 120 RHS for a while and wanted to be sure I was doing right and found you channel. I must say you are very talented and an excellent teacher. So my question, and it might be a stupid one, but are the tips you provide for how to hold you hand and strum etc., good for finger picking in general. As I get more accurate and faster I can see a real improvement when I go an play non-classical songs I have been practacing. I might have answered my own question, but I just want to be sure I am not picking up some bad habits that don't lend themselves well to more contemporary rock/blues guitar picking. All the best mate. AE

[@nbnguitar]

Hi Alan. The tips are good in general. If you diligently apply them your right hand will have no choice but to improve!

[@karmapolice3335]

sir please clear my doubt while picking i observed you are not using ring finger on e string ..just using 1st three fingers counting frm thumb..should i adapt to it im so habituated to use my ring finger .

[@nbnguitar]

There's no need to use the a finger because the a finger will be used in the later studies.

[@MrJosehermoza]

I just had the pleasure of running into your channel, in just one video I have learned so much technically , I just want to thank you...I will practice on thing at the time and in 30 days I'll be ok in many ways , your Segovia scales is another great great teaching. Thanks a million from ....Vancouver ...

[@nbnguitar]

Hi Joes. That's pretty awesome to hear. It's amazing what one video can do. I learn so much from other KZbinrs too! I'm glad you liked the 120 & my take on the Segovia scale(s). You're welcome....from Aotearoa.

[@anandv1770]

Excellent!!!, As a novice I am bit confused with G7 chord shape. Are there different ways to play G7?

[@nbnguitar]

Yes, absolutely. There are many ways to play G7. In these Giuliani used the following inversions: root position, 1st inversion, and 2nd inversion. The 3rd inversion (which would begin on the note F) is the only one that is not used.

[@anandv1770]

@@nbnguitar Thanks a lot for clarifying :)

[@nehefatou4230]

Hello Joshua, I have a problem with the G7 chord. The one I know is fingers on e (first fret), A ( second fret) and E (third fret). Is you method an alternative? I searched for other methods and came across one with bar chord and the third just with first finger on first fret e chord with E and A muted. Thanks you if you have other tricks we can learn from.

[@nbnguitar]

Hello Nehe, try it with different (easier chords) or no chords at all i.e. open strings :)

[@nehefatou4230]

@@nbnguitar Thank you for your kind reply.

[@christianmercado5510]

Anybody else got stuck on Exercise 2 and 3? 😅 I have seen, paused and try this part at least 15 times. I’m touching the same strings in the same order, with the same chords, but mine sound different. Is it the tempo from my part?

[@nbnguitar]

Christian, you can make it! Check your thumb first - make sure it’s doing the correct pattern. Then isolate you index & middle fingers - they should be picking the first two strings only.

[@christianmercado5510]

Thanks Kalvin. My second guitar teacher William Bower introduced me to these when I was in my first year of classical guitar studies at Victoria university in New Zealand many years ago. Any serious student of the guitar should try to master all of these.

[@ch1vasr3gal]

Your videos are great Josh! Thank you so much! you are easily the most informative and most humble teacher on yt! I just saw your video on the g major Segovia scale and now your explanation on the 120 rh studies, just excellent. I switched from electric to classical guitar, so I heavyly focus on right hand technique. Do you think practising the 120 arpeggios and the g mamor segovia scale with all fingerings will be sufficient for the next months? Or would I miss out on something? (Additionally I would play some easy pieces like Estudio en E Menor by Tarrega for fun :) ) Thanks again, awesome videos! Greetings to NZ fro the other side of the world!

[@nbnguitar]

Thank you Gunnar. I modelled my teaching style on my first teacher's style - Mr. Peter Thwaites and of course I mixed it with my own personality. He's a great teacher and taught me first and foremost to have fun and to love music in general. My technique isn't the best but I think my strength lies in being able to get the main fundamental points across in an easy to understand way without being intimidating. I think you should definitely add the estudio in otherwise you'll go crazy just playing the arpeggios and G major scale! Greetings to you too bold warrior!

[@sbarker06]

I have been playing for around 5 months. I had my first lesson with a teacher yesterday. He gave me the first 3 exercise. I wanted to thank you for such a consise breakdown. Thank you

[@nbnguitar]

How did you first lesson go? Are you still studying with your teacher?

[@garethredmond1331]

Thanks Joshua this is exactly what im talking about ,i know you dont take requests but if i could be so bold as to ask you about a piece im having difficulty with i would appreciate it . I learned a piece called preludio criollo by rodriego rierra i think his name is . I learned it with some tab and by watching a bloke called Jesus Gonzalez doing his version on you tube ,its real emotional .Now the thing is i can handle the tricky chord changes just about but the part were he doubles up and triples up with his thumb i cant seem to get the hang of,maybe if you are looking for some progressive tunes you could show us how or something ,this would be easy for you .Anyway thanks again for all the help ,its coming along nicely !

[@nbnguitar]

Hi Gareth. I'm glad that this tutorial has helped you out. I'm releasing the video for exercises 11 to 20 later today. Perhaps you could leave a link so I could have a listen to this piece you speak of. You're welcome for the help. It's wonderful that these tutorials are assisting you.

[@danieldelapena8369]

Gareth Redmond i saw your comment and was curious, so i had a listen and liked it. so naturally i wanted to learn it. i found a tab that explains the thumb part. so there are two variations of the count 1 2 3. the first you pluck thumb with ring finger, next middle by itself, next thumb with index. the second half you basically reverse it so you pluck ring finger by itself, next thumb and middle, next index by itself. so the pattern just swaps between these two ,and then you play this pattern with all of your chords, and voila preludio criollo I hope ive been of help. im not that great of a teacher so let me now. im going to be learning this song it looks like fun. thanks for the recommendation.

[@garethredmond1331]

see i was just playing 1 thumb stroke at the start of every 1,2,3, with the index finger but im gonna swap that with the first method you suggested and play the thumb on 1 and 3 ,like u said,it sounds great ,thanks for the help M8 ,appreciated!

[@danieldelapena8369]

Gareth Redmond oh no its just one method, but it alternates between the two so that you play with the thumb everyother note, if you just play one half it will sound off. think of it as six strokes alternating between thumb plus finger, and finger by itself. sorry for the confusing description before. ill just link the tab i found. also glad i could help : ) m.lacuerda.net/itrans.php?t=mcla0931

[@markellis1777]

[@riri_007_]

Hello Sir! Can I practice this in my steel string guitar? And I always heard that thumb is used only for 3 bass strings, but you are using thumb on G strings too, is this only applied for steel string?

[@nbnguitar]

Hello Rifat, absolutely. And your thumb can be used on any string at all. The most important thing to focus on is how you move your thumb rather than which strings it should or should not play on.

[@Vegeta101691]

Question from a beginner here. Am I supposed to do each excersize until I can do it consistently and only then go to the to next excersize or am I supposed to play through all of them at once la etude style? Also, man arpegios are rough for me. Just gotta keep practicing I suppose.

[@nbnguitar]

I would pick a few that work in conjunction with a piece you're trying to learn. If you're practicing them independently then try to get them nice and fluid and move on once you've achieved the desired tempo.

[@ALONEWILL]

Thanks for your lesson. For number one On music sheet says that thumb needs play c but your thumb play g :( I am pretty beginner for this and also why in first chord there two c in mucin sheet thanks :)

[@nbnguitar]

You are welcome. The thumb plays four notes across four strings buddy C-E-G-C then B-D-G-B

[@samemyst]

I'm becoming such a lady magnet because of You! haha, joking :D Thank You very much, I'm having such joy learning these exercises - they are good methods to make music just by themselves, I think.

Hahahahaha man I'm glad my tutorials are working. I was hoping my guitar playing would turn me into a lady magnet but I'm still waiting for that to happen! Awesome comment dude. You know I do use these Giuliani patterns in a lot of my actual playing onstage when I'm playing rhythm guitar.

[@bjornlindqvist8305]

What's planting? Do you explain that technique somewhere?

[@nbnguitar]

I do touch on it in my tutorials but I haven't made a dedicated video truly explaining it in detail. Planting essentially means preparing your fingers on the strings in advance i.e. before you actually use them. Does that help?

[@wizardofthevalley4767]

i started recently doing these with EMaj and B7 chord shapes to help strengthen my barreing, hand strength is something that is holding me back a lot in my playing

[@nbnguitar]

Those two chords would sound really nice over these. Hopefully you'll build up that strength with these and the B minor scale you mentioned on the Segovia video I posted.

@@nbnguitar hello. I have trouble with the name of that chord, G7. When I look at other videos the G7 is played on the 3rd fret E (6th chord) 2nd fret A chord and 1st fret low E. It's definitely confusing!!! I will be pleased if you could explain more. Thank you.
