Been playing since 2009. No one has ever told me to do my nails like that. It makes since, so I went and tried it, and wow did my my tone change and it sounds like my volume came up to. Thanks.

[@timothymills733]

The best explanation I have ever seen for this. I am certain this helped many people today.

[@arthurias7693]

Segovia had the best tone I've ever heard.

[@ivanguban7143]

I always try to alternate fingers I and M, but what I notice you used your I finger nail as a pick for electric guitars. Is it normal technique? I’ve seen some Argentinian players use a thumb (P) for a leading solo on treble strings.

[@iamJROD]

You have to do what works for you. Do all hitters in baseball have the same batting stance? Techniques is a means to an end.

[@ivanguban7143]

@@iamJROD According to you we can start playing tremolo with one finger because it works for me. Nice going!

[@bossanovaboy]

There is another "secret" how to get a good tone - play a rest stroke wherever you can ( and even when practicing arpeggios, as said by Emilio Pujol in his guitar method).The rest stroke assures you always use flesh and nail, not nail only. I liked the exercise with the sandpaper at the first string, that's something new to me.

Beautiful flamenco guitar

[@johnkennedyalves8162]

Great tips! What is the name of the last piece?

[@jimselikoff1984]

SUPERB! THANK YOU! 👍

[@DanielOliveiraViolao]

Thank you!!!

[@TokyoShizu]

everyone should basically listen to anything that Tavi J. has to say about tone.

[@arafinutube]

Best suggestion ever. Thanks Tavi. Do you recommend same technique (a/m/i) for tremolo?

[@EliteGuitarist]

Yes, I recommend a traditional classical tremolo. The p i m i seems a bit clinical to me and limited in tempo variations, but others have done with some level of success. I can't argue with success.

[@arafinutube]

Thank you

[@javierfranciscomoreno6463]

Excellent

I can't grow nails, I'm a physiotherapist what can I do?

[@rickbarber3095]

I'm a blue collar worker who has to do manual labor with his hands for a living. I break my nails constantly. My solution has been guitar player nails which are glue on nails for guitarists. They aren't as good as real nails and they're a hassle, but it's better than not having nails to play guitar.

[@aidybopification]

Use the flesh of your fingertips....amazing and consistent tone with a little extra practise!

[@avocadoflowmix7171]

I think, good to learn to play like Al De Meola or Laurence Juber, I don't see they have long nail.

[@Aviorrok]

Tavi I love your content you’re a awesome teacher I hope you will learn not just a classical/flamenco guitar I also want to learn from you rock/pop guitar and everything about guitar
