I just signed on with guitar shed. For the last 4 months I've looked into every possible class for Classical Guitar and I've went With Allan/Zak Guitar Shed. In one day, one class I get my money's worth. Thanks guys.

Your training video on PIM Arpeggio Pattern for Classical Guitar technique lesson is the most thorough, detailed, and very well explained video lesson on KZbin I've seen. You share a lot of information in those 7 minutes of classical guitar tutorial. I'm going to really study this video in detail and do just as you explain. People like you help to advance one's guitar playing skill.

+Joaquin Kenyon Thanks so much for watching, Joaquin!

Played guitar for years but I feel like I'm learning all over again.

[@kremifa]

Steve Gosen same here.

Well, I've been learning (kind of) for a year and I just realised I've been hooking the strings with the end of the finger. Just started growing nails and they keep getting stuck. So now to start from scratch with the end joints relaxed. One thing I don't understand is how to apply this when playing scales, particularly on the 5th and 6th strings. Allen says don't use the rest stroke, even for scales. PS: I've been using House of the Rising Sun for arpeggio practice for about 6 months, so the bad habit is really ingrained. This is going to be difficult.

[@annegallagher8284]

This is the first time I've felt progress. Playing a tune is simple - it's technique that's the devil. I hope to play an arpeggio or a C scale within 6 months. Lesson 2 gives me hope mastery will come. I've applied nail extensions. Fantastic course Allen. Thanks!

[@kremifa]

Great ! i lacked this basic understaanding. Only a few hours of practice allready improved the tone (even while playing on worn out strings) Thank you very much.

[@MsShaolin777]

Excellent! Ty!! I naturally did this technique..I did not know what it was called..PIM...Ty again for the break down!

[@JohnDoe-tn5qp]

As someone who is self taught with improper form, it would be nice if you explained the reasoning behind the dramatic 'im' outward flick after the p pluck, as opposed to having im fingers near the string ready to play after the p. It seems like exaggerated motion of im fingers for nothing. What is the reasoning behind this?

[@Anriuko]

"You can always imagine, if there was a string back here, pulling from your elbow, it would pull your fingers." They're tendons, Allen.

[@JohnDoe-tn5qp]

Why close the hand? Why are do i and m always need to be tucked away instead of at the ready?

[@captainheinie6355]

This instruction is so very good. Thank you.

[@windseafrogs]

You are an excellent instructor. Thank you!

[@thanhluong8297]

Thank you very much for all your instruction you are the best

[@ryanlingwn]

i have wonderful time of learning following your method : )

[@ClassicalGuitarShed]

+Ryan Lion Thanks Ryan!

[@chandimarathnayake1874]

Thanks a million for your valuable correct technical videos Dear Sir !!!!

[@ubershredder1989]

Can't thank you enough for amazing content your channel produces! So could one say that when playing apoyando, the fingers follow-through to string above, whereas in arpeggio the fingers follow-through into the palm? Thank you.

[@LeviGuitar]

thanks for the lesson, it's great! clear & well explained

[@ClassicalGuitarShed]

Lohengrin Thanks Lohengrin!

[@JohnDoe-tn5qp]

extremely detailed but you never really demonstrated what it even is. It would be very helpful to see you just do the thing for 10 seconds straight at normal speed without stopping

[@patrickpalmer3374]

I have a classical Anthology book coming hopefully tomorrow that has 38 popular pieces in it with Austorius Leyenda the 1st song and it's complete and it's tab mirrors Allen's, it's also written beautifully and the 26 $ one has all songs down loadable, nothing beats these lessons because he knows how we can get comfortable and save boat loads of energy. That book is also on line eBay fore half the price and the music live is still free . That Mel Bay book is a must see because I've checked and unlike some rock, country books it's spot on.

[@noiseintheoffice]

@Classical Guitar Shed (Allen) thanks so much for sharing your talent, both in performing and teaching. I've practiced PIM for a few days now and I'm really having a hard time coordinating my fingers. Realistically, how long should it take before the PIM arpeggeio becomes automatic? (I am _SO_ impatient...)

[@sundar5537]

Nicely explained ,good exposure Thanks..

[@vampire702]

I don't understand what you mean by "I and M will come out". For me I don't have such large space under I and M: after P plays, if I and M move to the strings, their nails will touch the strings. I don't know how you have such large space under I and M. If I put my palm a little farther away from the body of the guitar, my thumb will be also too far to pick the string. This feels really frustrating.

[@robdonell9915]

My fingers don’t naturally spring back to a ‘clenched’ position.

[@aswinpaparavilayilm.adicha7472]

Nice !

[@CrocodileTheLyle]

Should I always have a finger resting on a string? I'm curious because I'm finding that I keep making an unpleasant ticking noise after I've muted a string in preparation for a stroke.

[@steviemc51]

Brilliant!! respect mate. (Y)

[@Azruim]

I'm having a hard time trying to keep from hitting two strings with my middle finger while PIM... It's even worse in PMI.

[@ClassicalGuitarShed]

Hi Azruim, Try "hunching" over the strings more by moving your hand down in space (your big knuckles will be more over the strings you're playing). Your fingers may be too extended (straight). Good luck!

[@Azruim]

+Classical Guitar Shed I'll try that. Thanks for the tip and great videos!

[@Azruim]

Andrew Pegman I'll keep that in mind. Also I probably should give rest strokes a try as well. Thanks!

[@curritito]

I'm having the same problem. Not having the tip joint rigid makes my fingers feel all floppy and out of control. I'm also sometimes completely missing the strings.

[@crazyb87]

2:53 When m plays that's when the thumb goes back out. Then...5:53...when m plays the thumb goes back down....it's contradictory....no offense.... Does it have to go back out or back down? First you extend then 3 minutes later you relax the thumb and let it naturally come back down...they are 2 different movements but you describe them as the same thing. I'm confused...

[@vampierkill]

Same here. Happy that someone also noticed the contradiction. Have to figure that bymyself out. Now I am confused how the thumb should actually play! 😅

[@LarryShone]

I see where I have been going wrong. I thought the thumb only plays the bass strings

[@leoniedesilva9387]

👍👍👍🙏🏻

[@yeyintaung9837]

Thz

[@aynazparkas468]

so slow :/

[@rothede1]

Please do not speak too much! Play, because without playing, plucking or showing, these are nothing, or dangerous!!!

[@skatetodeath666]

Ede Roth sure why not
