Articulate teaching from an articulate player. Brilliant.

[@stevefranklin9176]

Cold hands warm heart mums always say. Thanks for the lesson.

[@richardwilliams3031]

To be honest being a non player this doesn't mean much but it is good to see how you produce the music we love.

[@heikej.8295]

Thank you ,Alexandra for showing us your warm up.🌻

[@BENGYAORA-]

This video is really helpful. I have bad tremors and still looking for the right way to warm-up properly. If I start warming up in some "wrong" ways it'll prevent me from practicing efficiently. So thank you so much for this!

[@JessaDelda-md3ws]

I have been Maam Wittingham's admirer for years now. And I like the fact that She shares to everyone her talent in classical guitar but the most amazing is that She does not judge others. She is a very humble person given that her perfectionism is transparent. I really thank and appreciate her so much. Her techniques are something all of us can learn about. I am an admirer with very little knowledge of music but I can gladly say that Maam Alexandra Whittingham is the most talented classical guitarist in the world

[@patrickdunavan9113]

Thank you for sharing this with us. Exactly what I need. Now...for me...practice, practice, practice.

[@akinnon2000]

J'ai adoré ta version d'asturias et verano portegno, bien hâte de suivre ta routine tu m'inspire à jouer.

[@brucelockwood4701]

You packed a lot into a short time! If this video is played over and over and actually practiced it is extremely valuable! And for those who don't play guitar it allows some appreciation of what you do!

[@rleanos]

I really like your warm-up techniques. I've been trying to find something for a while. Many thanks.

[@gustavomacias7314]

Omg....! Im really happy to get this knowledge from you...! Después de ver como la partías en esos artísticos videos, i will learn more, thnk you!

[@kiencuong188]

Thank you so much! Your sharing is valuable!! I'm for you!

[@RobertGavila]

I love this video. I’m eager to go over it a few more times and take notes. Thank you for the free class!

Greetings from a Vietnamese Mandolinist 💕

[@davidmolloy126]

Hiya Alexandra, Cold hands warm heart❤. Thanks very much, that was really interesting and informative. I always love your work and these latest few videos where you collaborate with Siccas and your own routines are some of my favourites. Take care and stay safe and well. David. xxx

[@rudingable]

Thanks Alexandra,I've been playing guitar for so long but I've never come across this right hand fingering pattern until I've watched this presentation.Muchos gracias señorita....

[@howardanderson3061]

Great tutorial, I did a very similar warm up for my Rt hand, however your warm routine up is far more thorough than mine. I'm starting to again work on my classical guitar playing, this is so helpful. I'm looking forward to checking out more vids. Thank you for sharing, this has been so helpful

[@israelmonteirobg525]

amazing quality of video audio and editing, ill share this to all my family and friends, simply awsome

[@alaorairtonsmaniotto5016]

Aproveitem a aula! Sou grato! Parabéns!

[@jfduchesne9199]

Thank you so much Alexandra.

[@brucelockwood4701]

I love the way you described how one aspect of the warm-up routine fits yourself by overcoming cold hands! 😊 And it is good instruction for all who warm-up to find our own idiosyncrasies and warm-up accordingly.

[@bobwright4945]

I have just taken up classical guitar I will be 60 next year and I have found this very useful thankyou Alex.

[@frankgrimes3989]

Wonderful. Just what this beginner needed. Thanks.

[@pistolp01]

Lovely information that will be added to my existing routine. Thank you.

[@krsnahdy]

Thanks alexandra! I like your presentation really helpful

[@ryszarddopierala6624]

Thank you for doing this.

[@brucelockwood4701]

The videography is amazing!

[@ScottOuelletteGuitar]

Nice video Alexandra, you convey musical ideas very clearly. Good job!

[@gman2380]

The more I watch Alexandra the more I want to turn toward classical guitar. My fluidity of my right hand is so much better than my left so I feel the picking would be easier for me , it's the left hand stretches I would struggle with . Great tutorial Alexandra. Thank you so much for sharing your craft with us.

[@markr1550]

I'm just here because I enjoy hearing you play, and thought the title sounded interesting. I wasn't disappointed, and found it interesting to see the similarities between your warm-up and my son's (classical percussion). Thanks.

[@DanielOliveiraViolao]

Oh, that was very good. Will help a lot. Thanks!

[@gustavomacias7314]

So nice ty!

[@walterbeekman9825]

Good information! I’m going to do about 10 reps of each right hand fingering patterns. Daily exercises for conditioning the hand. Thanks Alexandra!

[@alanaguero9456]

Gracias teacher!!!

[@jassemanonuevo7727]

Can't wait to see this :)

[@nikmaclean6949]

I'm in PEI Canada, as a self taught guitar player for 20+ yrs, very hard to take lessons! LOL, this is like learning to walk again, I matched mine right hand to your PIMA warm up, thank u so much for sharing! Such a big help! Stay safe and keep playing.

[@annbugbee5623]

You beautiful teacher thank you for the good music 👍👏🌹🌹🌹💕.

[@danielhilario1352]

Gracias por compartir tu saviduria. Eres mi inspiracion y espero algundia tocar así la guitarra.

[@guitarpick335]

A wall of sound is very good advise.. You make a wonderful teacher.. You really should do more instructional videos. Thanks Alexandra. And to top it off, you're a beautiful young lady and fantastic player. Perfect combo.

[@robertosalinas8819]

Que padre es esto de la guitarra felicidades ....😊😊😊😘

[@AndreaCangeri]

Thank you Alexandra! I have been following your channel for a few months now, I love your videos, they are kind of addictive! Your repertoire is still beyond my reach, but these instructive videos of yours are pure gold. That finger pattern you show at the end, to work with different accents, is the same used by Villa-Lobos in the Etude No.1, isn't it?

[@davepowell7168]

Practical breakdown of r/hand technique,essential first step.

[@Hasoth_]

Ваши обучающие видео- одна из причин, которые мотивируют меня выучить английский и улучшить свою технику исполнения.

[@jonlotemusic]

Didn't know about Tonebase, thanks!

[@gerardovillalobos4118]

Lo que de ti venga es sin duda excepcional y sublime gracias Alexandra buena vida.

[@charlesfabri9771]

Did you warm up before you showed us your warm-ups. I use M. Giuliani - Studies for guitar. I/GA 30. 36 pages normally takes me 25 minutes. Used to take longer. Nice work Alexandra

[@samchevalier8822]

Tu es une génie de la guitare c'est beau à regardé et a écouté 👍🏻😍

[@claudiopedrini5340]

Grazie Alexandra! 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏😘😘😘

[@Hipatyamexicana]

¡Hola Alejandra! 🤗 Excelentes sugerencias para emparejar el sonido de los los dedos de la mano derecha. 😀 Veo la posición en que sostienes la guitarra sin usar las manos y me gustaría saber si utilizas algún implemento para apoyarla en tu pierna y cómo lo puedo conseguir. 😄 He observado que en algunas piezas usas un banco de pie para elevar tu pierna izquierda y en otras un soporte sobre tu pierna para elevar la guitarra ¿Es por cuestiones de interpretación de cada pieza o hay alguna otra razón para cambiar la forma en que la sostienes?🤔 Quiero decirte que te admiro profundamente porque eres la primera persona que escucho tener una técnica perfecta con una interpretación excepcional. 🥰 Me impresiona tu juventud y tu "tranquila e inteligente vitalidad". Para ser tan joven e imprimir un sonido tan claro y limpio en cada nota, se necesita haber desarrollado rápidamente una conciencia plena de la intención interpretativa que deseas para cada obra que surge de tí. 💯 Gracias por compartir tu limpieza de alma y tu gran sabiduría 😇 Nunca pensé posible tomar clases contigo ¡Estoy emocionada! 🙃 Vida plena y parabienes ⚘

[@thiro59]

Paty Nava I guess she is using a guitar support such as e.g. an ErgoPlay. If you google for "Classical guitar support" you will find quite a lot of them.

[@hoangminhpham1363]

You so good music.😘😊☺️

[@JeremyMeister]

By watching your video i realized that i have to make a longer warm up before playing / recording a song.

[@pistolp01]

I also have trouble with numbess and circulation difficulty. It couldn't have anything to do with holding my arms and hands in the same position for twelve hours, could it? Love your talent.

[@Melvorgazh]

Pretty guitar player 🌺

[@rockyboy976]

Great video Alex as always. What is the piece from which u are playing the plucking pattern at 8:00?
