Thank you! I live in an area where classical guitar teachers are almost non-existent, and it is so good to have access to videos like this to help me in my learning.
@@Sorrynotsorry721 In Yukon, Canada everyone plays acoustic and electric. There may be the odd person who plays classical guitar, but qualified teachers for classical are pretty well non-existent
@@denniswade4998cool, in Sardinia, Italy, even in my little town in the center of the island there is a music school where you can learn piano, guitar, violin etc but it’s like the classical guitar is the norm so it’s the only one taught. Even in the nearby city, where I go to school, there arent music schools that teach electric guitar, just classical maybe acoustic. We should swap places then ! ;)
Simon this is an excellent video- so much and in such a compact time, especially the explanations of the purpose and benefits of each of these. Thank you!
Hello Simon, your videos (for free) are a gem. Thanks for the effort you put into these. Your tutorial talents, your calm voice and your outstanding technique make it a joy to try and copy what you show. Very glad I found your site and happy that your health is back too. Please keep doing these videos. A mediocre guitar student and fan. All the best Wolfgang
It's actually a lot harder to keep the proper wrist form on the left hand when while being mindful of the thumb not forcing my hand to arch out as I would normally play chords on other guitars. great tip!
Chromatic octaves have been my early-morning routine for decades. It is a very efficient way to warm up the hand and build strength. But I take the hard road to success: playing the B on the 3rd string instead of the 2nd open. 😉

i prefer playing real pieces and make little excercises from difficult passages. the real difficulty lies in the context of real pieces. If you isolate execises from real music its difficult to go back to it. But maybe you like to practise for hours and hours as a sort o meditation ?
Hi there, in classical guitar we use the term "slur" for pull-offs and hammer-ons and either "slide," "glissando" or "portamento" when sliding up or down to the next note as you're describing. Have a great day!
Great! Now is all exercises are in my daily routine. Thank you!
Hope you enjoy them! Thanks for the nice comment.

Great! It's a wonderful exercise. And, yes, that is a great optional way to play the B octave

The slur is more like a hammer on. A slur to me is playing a note and sliding up or down to the next note.

the first one is called spiderwalk
Thank you -- we also call it "left hand walking" in a different exercise that is very similar. Lots of different names for this kind of exercise
Thank you Simon, this is a kick in the butt for me to pull my finger out and get practicing!
You can do it, John! ;)
Thank you!
