Classical Guitar Lesson #1: positioning the guitar User Reviews

  • i have a question i'm 13,i wan't to know how many years i have to learn guitar for being good at it???
  • I'm the real deal.
  • thank you, you look very genuine
  • hey man, great lessons... thanks¡¡¡
  • Do you still play the guitar? I hope so. lol BTW, great lesson. I play classical but mainly classical stuff.
  • Kent: Glad to see you're still teaching and playing. Wish I'd been a better student back in Fayetteville. "Doc" Schultz
  • These are two different styles of playing, but to answer your question, yes, you can play pick style on the classical guitar.
  • i have a question can u use a pick when u play a classic guitar or just by hand?
  • Juicy dildo slowing sliding into my ..... ummmm want more lol join me in on my webcam chat ... Play-Cam(.COM) ...
  • I have to say, that this is THE video that made me really GET the position.. I've seen the position in books and images, but it's hard to really get it before someone explains it like this! Huge help, thank you!
  • i would like to ask, is it ok to play an acoustic style on a classical guitar?
  • thanks , very good ...
  • thankyou. Philip
  • if you're left handed and got a left handled guitar maybe
  • can i ask if i can put the guitar on my right leg instead?
  • thanks for your answer
  • You might need a tripod or a cushion type support instead of the foot stand.
  • hi Kent i just watched the video and i have a little question: can i play in that position even when i have a small sised body?
  • Planting is useful as a teaching tool, but I don't use it as a basis for technique the way some teachers do.
  • hi kent murdick, i am anthony from the philippines.nway i just want to ask how do you play the righthand planting technique? is it useful for the classical guitar music? thank you very much.god bless!
  • It's made by a guy named James Fuller.
  • Your guitar looks exactly like mine? Is it a Raimundo guitar or all classical guitars look alike?
  • lan amızzz ben turkum ne mutlu turkum dıyene onu gec sen sahnede gıtar pozısyonunumu gostercen amk cal gıtarına yat zıbar aq daha ne yapcan ezık
  • It depends on your body type. The important thing is not the details but the final result. Can you cross the strings with the right hand without the forearem haning up? Can you reach the low and high notes without having to learn over? It's import that major muscle groups are not thrown out of position. Watch out for hunched shoulders.
  • your right leg is bent, a german teacher told me that it`s not correct because the guitar doesn`t stand so well balanced on you...he told me to have that leg perpendicular to the floor too
