The Good, the Bad and the Ugly about the Classical Guitar

[@DIEGOGONZALEZ-np9ed]

great points about the ugly part!!! I find myself trying to learn modern repertoire to give these great new composers their due place in the musical world. There are plenty of great composers and compositions currently.

That sounds great, I am sure that there is a lot of new music that would sound great on the classical guitar. Thanks for your comment, Diego. Good luck on your search!

Appreciate this.Well put. Thank you 🙏

You’re welcome, thanks for watching.

I couldn't agree more on the solo performance difficulty point, I myself almost become incapable of playing when nervous, especially when hands start to get sweaty

[@AFTrioMusic]

Yes, it’s crazy, it’s almost like all the preparation we did goes out the window and a different person is playing.

What is that knee mat thingy called? Mine slips out quite often. Thanks

[@AFTrioMusic]

Hi, it is just a piece of non-slip shelf liner. People use this in the kitchen so cups and glasses don't move around. Search non-slip cabinet liner or non slip guitar cloth. Some guitar companies make dedicated pieces of cloth for this purpose, but they cost more. You can get a small roll of cabinet liner for a very low price. A lot of players are using them now. Take care.

did you ever strum the guitar? i fast forwarded and i heard nothing.

[@AFTrioMusic]

Hi, no I don't actually play the guitar in the video, but having a guitar in my lap is always useful when I try to illustrate certain points. Please check the playlist below if you want to hear my playing: kzbin.info/aero/PLpngI7iz-qRvWWNtKu8nT5ud3ZLDHsRtb. Take care!

[@bron-sconcess.10]

I wouldn't have bothered answering "did you play?" question ⁉️ Your passion and care shows!

[@AFTrioMusic]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your comment and I am glad you noticed that I care about the videos in my channel. Wish you well my friend!

This is a terrible video! The majority of what you are saying is about performing in general. No playing techniques or tips

[@AFTrioMusic]

Hi, the video was not intended to teach any techniques. I just wanted to highlight a few things that I think are unique about the classical guitar and how things can go wrong in performance situations. I do have lessons in my channel intended for intermediate fingerstyle/classical players. Thanks.
