Kudos. If all teachers taught lessons like this, no one would ever quit. Really appreciate how the skills necessary to perform the piece well are the product of analysis of the music and the exercises to develop the skills. Inclusion of how to play the music expressively is an important attribute of why we play music in the first place. With gratitude.
I totall agree with what you said at around the 9:05 point where you said "I would just really sit with that and kind of meditate on it". I learn much better when I give information and movements time to really sink in, rather than rushing through to the next thing.
This series is perfect. I've been a self-taught acoustic guitar player for years, just jamming with chords of songs I've liked growing up. Now thinking about getting into classical guitar and this is a great way for a guy like me to learn with more official technique and solid build up exercises. Well done good sir!
This is really worthy stuff ! Your lessons are so comprehensive. What I especially like is that you’re putting so much important information in one simple exercise, making it way more than just a dull lesson. It is very helpful to motivate oneself to pay attention to the oh so important details in playing classical guitar. And you even tackle the chord progression, which I’ve rarely seen in classical guitar video’s. Thank you so much for sharing it ! 🙏🏼
This is great, thank you for including all bits and pieces, like a bit of notation, theory, references to piano, very helpful! I am pre-beginner (I don't have guitar yet) and now I want it even more 🙂 Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Jared, this is great! I used to play classical guitar, more than 30 years ago when I played. I've always been self-taught, and frankly I'd forgotten that I used exactly these steps when I was learning a new piece. I haven't put that much effort into classical guitar since I started back playing, but I've been wanting to. Thank you for reminding me how rewarding it is, and thank you for showing these steps that I'd forgotten! I'm going to start practicing my classical guitar again. I've actually gotten really good using a pick with my acoustic guitar, but my fingerstyle has suffered. Also, thanks for showing the chords at the end. I think that's important to know as well!
Hi Jeff, thanks for the comment! Great that you're gonna dive back into step-by-step practice for classical guitar and fingerstyle pieces. I'm glad you appreciate the harmonic analysis too. Cheers :)
Here in japan I have access to classical guitars that are all wood and over 30 years old. They are at the recycle store. Most need to be taken to a guitar and put to playable. Mostly old Yamaha Japanese made. I will try to buy one soon. Thanks sensei for this lesson.
That tip to sit on the string with your finger for a little bit before plucking actually made me sound so much better. So much less string noise too since the volume is controlled.

I enjoyed this. Going to show my wife when she comes home. She plays classical guitar, but needs to brush up on her technique. I tried to teach her jazz guitar from the old books of Mickey Baker books one, and two, but she isn't in to that. I have been enjoying all your videos pertaining to jazz guitar very much, and I thank you for that.
Thank you for this lesson. I really appreciate it. I have been interested in more of the classical type guitar stuff, but its hard to find a basic beginners guide to it to get started. Thanks again
Thank you for the lesson and the study materials! They were both interesting and very helpful. I appreciate the systematic approach-it really helps me structure my learning. Also, thank you for explaining all the details in the notations; as someone without a musical background, it’s all very new to me. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for starting a beginner series of classical guitar lessons, it is time to pick up where we left off and learn again from the experts the finer points of playing classical music. The chord included in the tab sheet do really helps us to see in advance how the left and right hand moves accordingly in the solo classical pieces (It helps us to analyse where are the chord movements and the melody line being played). Hope you can included it for us in your seven series.
@@soundguitar Thank you for the chord analysis and tablature, when I first started classical guitar I struggled looking at the music pieces alone (without tab and chord notation).
This is great! I am right at the "really beginner" stage where I have learned basics like how to properly hold the guitar, and correct left and right hand positions. I also practice chords and arpeggios. I have been wanting to have very simple pieces that I could learn and that are also good practice lessons, and since I live in Whitehorse, Yukon where there are no local classical guitar instructors, I really needed a good video explanation of how to go about this. If this first video is any indication, you are giving me exactly that! I'm looking forward to spending time with this first piece in my daily practise and will be looking forward to future videos. Thank you so much for doing this!
Thanks for your work Jared, I discovered your channel two weeks ago and I love it, I love the root to root method and the focused rotation method. One question, why would we use the middle finger to play the high E and reach for the third string with the thumb instead of using the ring finger for first string, middle for second and index for third? Thank you!
Thanks for watching! Good question. Right hand fingering choice is unrelated to the string number/order. We can use any right hand finger on any string depending on what's best for the piece, what's easiest, what gets the best tone, etc... Feel free to try different right hand fingering options any time.
These are high quality lessons for free. Appreciate it even though Im a bit past the absolute beginner stage. I like your emphasis on learning to produce a good tone from the beginning.
Are these finger exercises the FIRST thing someone who has never played classical guitar ( or any guitar for that matter) should be working on? I am brand new to this and want what is expected as a beginner classical guitarist.
for the exercises, it would be handy to highlight which measures you are practicing, i got lost in the later part of the video, cause i dont know what a measure is. i only saw numbers 1, 4, 7, 10 ?
The beginners are actually not beginners becausee they already know the notes on the guitar. Even if it is the open string notes, the placement of the notes and its application on the string like the open E notes and the c notes is only for those who are already very familiar with the notes placement on the guitar strings.
Hi Jared, in the 6th measure, I’m struggling to land my pinky finger directly on the 2nd string, 3rd fret without either falling off or muting the first string. No matter how slow i go, it seems like my pinky finger tip is too round or something. Any tips for nailing this measure?
I have 2 questions: When people practice on this piece you say the middle finger on the high E string. Why not learn the correct finger to use on the correct string. Why do I ask this, people learning this way later have problems when you start to say “and the A finger on the high E. 2: I have always learned the thumb outside the fingers. On question 1: Sometimes it is hard to follow a lessen because I need to adjust my mechanics to follow lessons. Just a tip.
That's very strange... I have no idea why that would be. I just swapped out the link in the description so try again when you get a chance. Thanks for letting me know!

Very informative, consistent and comprehensive. To say thank you isn't enough.
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful 🙂
Nice production value and content to follow along with- tone and dynamics add so much to the quality of sound for the listeners.

Wow that is so neat !!!!!! You deserve one for sure. It will happen .I love this story

You're very kind!
Thank you very much. What a great video. Steps to steps. Easy to follow. It would help so many beginners . Thank you again.
I bought a classical guitar when I retired 5 years ago but havent touched it yet. This lesson is absolutely perfect - I'm inspired! Thank you Jared!
Heck yeah! Go for it! Let us know how it's coming along on the next video in the series 👍🤘
Thank you for this lesson. I really appreciate it. I have been interested in more of the classical type guitar stuff, but its hard to find a basic beginners guide to it to get started. Thanks again

Thank you for this introduction and step by step analysis for classical guitar! 😃. I really enjoyed it and will definitely try this!
Of course! I'm glad that you're excited to try the exercises!
This is a great collection

Excellent job thanks for sharing your talent 👏 👍 😀

Classical guitar do you use your fingers? The same are similar to Travis picking alternating base.
Are these finger exercises the FIRST thing someone who has never played classical guitar ( or any guitar for that matter) should be working on? I am brand new to this and want what is expected as a beginner classical guitarist.

Jared can you explain the filler lines, I not picking that up
I am kind of confused about exercise 4 . What's the bass line ???
I was trying to download the pdf sheet music. But it keeps sending me something else like advertising from Beyond the Guitar. I don't understand why
That's very strange... I have no idea why that would be. I just swapped out the link in the description so try again when you get a chance. Thanks for letting me know!
Why does your video thumbnail say songs and not pieces?
The heading is misleading, way too much talking like most American videos online.
yes too much talking. 🤫🤫🤫
Way too much talking every time I was fast-forward that would be talking and I never signed a guitar play my favorite classical pieces classical gas.!
I tried teaching without talking and it was really hard :) 🤷♂
