Guitar Lesson: Guitar Virtuoso Michael Chapdelaine Teaches Nylon-String Techniques and Repertoire

In this lesson-the first in a new series designed to initiate steel-string players into the classical world-you’ll focus on retraining how you think about the manifestation of music, when using your fingers on a guitar. You’ll learn to make simple changes that will profoundly affect your skill level and musicianship.

The world is darker without you Michael…

[@danielibnz]

Outstanding presentation and valuable explanations. Michael Chapdelaine explaining directly and sincerely technique, hints and tips. This, along with the full lesson and score/tab is simply priceless. Thank you very much

[@ryanreid9460]

I’m glad I stumbled upon this. It’s been surprisingly hard to find classical guitar instructions for folks who already play other styles. This is a helpful lesson.

[@zororosario]

I admire your individuality ever since I saw the masterclass video with Segovia.

[@heidiguglielmino2515]

Thank you for this. I tried to learn Romanza Anonima in 1972 while living in South America. Then, life.... I began Romanza again a year ago. Making progress.... this lesson, the lesson on tone with the right hand and your video on Romanza will help me play guitar the way I hope to.

Can't put a price on this. Honest explanation of something I've never heard anyone say before: (Nobody's gonna hear it :-) ) and a mini masterclass by Michael Chapdelaine. Well that was a dream come true moment. Thank you Micheal!

[@mysticalstalker7524]

What iv been waiting for the master I wish u do lots of lessons.

[@juliegorham]

This makes great sense. I appreciate the way you presented this and also terminology. Thank you! I naturally play this style, and started reading classical, but didn't have this clarification in structure.

[@FlightSim2703]

You're awesome 🥰👍👍👍

[@AngelLuisGuitarra]

Best explanation about arpeggios technique I ever seen.

[@Koga-Ed]

Great teaching ! Can you also do a topic about damping unwanted notes while changing chords ? It’s a topic that’s often overlooked imo.

[@SingleMalt77005]

Really great explanations for a newbie to classical guitar. I suppose I can use these techniques just as well on steel string.

[@susanauchincloss4990]

Enjoyed this very much- thank you

[@sergeko5834]

Fantastic lesson ! Thanks !

[@edzmuda6870]

Fingering notes in the chord that you don’t play creates sympathetic resonance which can be quite pleasing as long as it doesn’t interfere with fluidity.

[@chrisvanderwalt790]

Thank you!

[@stalex35]

Such a cool guy. Really gives Bob Ross vibes in classical guitar. Rip

[@PaulAshley]

This was great. While I don't play classical pieces I have somehow adopted the techniques you explain here because they just make sense. However, I bet when I try this exercise, I'll realize how much more practice is yet required. By the way, if you're allowed to say, what guitar are you playing and what strings?

[@Luckyluc1151]

"Fuera!"

[@jeremiahpeterson7116]

Very detailed explanation... Thank you... Where can I get the chord charts for thos lesson???

"papapopipopipopa papapopipopipa" :-) "I criticize Tarrega, Pujol and other pupils" :-D "You changed all my fingering, pourquai" :-D

[@gonzaloprivitera9505]

nice

[@tstanlykom5950]

What's the name of the piece played at the beginning?

[@K-Viz]

Segovia should have never shamed you. You deserved better!
