♦Thank you for watching my video!♦ - Hudba
Hello Merce. Hope you’re well. Just found your channel. I’m a total beginner at 61 but enjoying it immensely. Lessons such as this are invaluable in teaching correct techniques. I find your lessons so easy to follow. So well articulated. Thanks so much
Thanks a lot Ian! I'm happy its useful for you! Keep up the good practice! 🙌🏻
Also a 60's absolute beginner friend. Perfect practice makes perfect work is my Grandfathers skill lesson.Merce also I think!
Good on both you gentlemen for deciding to get into guitar, it's never too late to learn. If you would like any good classical guitar song recommendations to learn I'd be happy to show you some that help you learn to play yet sound great.
@@chrisbeaumont4630 very kind of you. I’m always interested in ideas for pieces of music to learn. But I’m really not very good at playing them! Thank you
I'm 60 and going little by little very hard for me but looking forward not to the back
I am so glad to have discovered your tutorials. These are the sort of refinements I would have learned from my stepfather, who played classical guitar, and even studied under Segovia; but he has Parkinson's now, and can only advise me by phone-NOT the same experience! Thank you so much.❤
Hi Merce, I'm 68, and picking up the clssical lessons lately. I bought a Yamaha GC 3D 1971 and its quality really pushes me to continue. I played the guitar when I was still young but only had time since my retirement to concentrate playing classical. Your lessons are not only extremely helpfu--it goes into the most basic techniques that others do not cover. Besides, your sincerity is infectious. Thank you !!!
Thank the fore arm part was very helpful even without my guitar I feel the difference in my hand playing from forearm verses fingers
Most guitar players are not aware that you can 100% transfer most classical guitar techniques to other guitar styles. A great example is what you teach in this video which has won you a subscriber. Not following your advise can lead to so much injury. This is the first time I have seen this concept explained so well. I had read about it but you made it crystal clear. Thank you so much
Absolutely. Any good classical guitar players can do shredding on electric guitar effortlessly.
You're a great teacher - you keep it very simple and slow, focusing on the basic fundamentals. You also play with elegance and fluidity, which shows your excellent technique. Excited to follow your channel!
These tips are so precious, thank you so much, master Merce !!
My pleasure! wish you a great day! :)
Thank you Merce! I've been slowly trying to learn classical guitar and have had lessons from 3 different teachers over the course of 3 or 4 years now. Not one of them ever talked about how the fingers will naturally return to their starting position if you focus on letting the entire hand relax. Fantastic lesson, thank you!!
Thank you so much for this. I am primarily a rock/blues/metal player and any finger picking stuff I learned was in that "world" so more like the incorrect pluck. So in trying to learn classical guitar this has been my biggest roadblock and none of the previous videos I watched did a good job of explaining it like you did.
Very good video. I've been playing electric for over 20 years, and I still polish my touch every time I practice. I find it very enjoyful.
Fabulous! This corrective video has done more to help me than any teaching session from any source in years. I also play 12-string guitar (my hero is guitarist/composer Ralph Towner), and as you know the spacing between string pairs on a 12-string is much narrower than between individual strings on a classical guitar. I have struggled for a long time to cleanly play just one pair of strings without hitting an adjacent pair when plucking. That problem immediately went away when I applied the lessons in this video, as did right-hand muscle cramps. I will be applying other video lessons from you, and I am thrilled to subscribe to your channel!
Aww thank you so much!!! I'm so so happy to read you finally found the way! Happy to put such videos out to help you :) Wish you lots of progress with them!
Jazz guitarist here who has played with a pick or hybrid (pick + fingers) his whole life and is now starting to dive into the classical world for fun ☺️ greats tips. It’s actually quite interesting how different the electric and the classical guitar are as instruments… for me, electric bass is a much closer instrument to electric guitar than classical guitar is.
very true!
As someone that was classically trained and because life happens and ended up in electrical for years (not that there’s anything bad in that) this little things are the crux of my existence when I come back to it. Thanks for the video:)
🙏🏻
Thank you, best teacher ever
Very useful! Thanks for your teaching.
Great lesson, thank you.
I’m new to the classical guitar world, coming from playing blues and Rock. I love your tutorial videos. Thank you for making them
A sincere Musician sincere with Her Music
Wonderful. Very helpful to a beginner like me. Thank you!
Yes Maestro. Classical guitar fingering lesson exercise perfect. Thank You.
The comment you made in regards to the thumb position being unnatural has freed me from months and months of torture. I can continue my journey without the worry now. Thank you kindly. 🙏
That's great! happy that was useful :)
Hello teacher, I have greatly improved my performance on the guitar by watching your videos and applying your knowledge and advice, it has been very difficult for me to play in a relaxed way, mainly in the scales, but little by little I have been overcoming it, thank you, I am not lost none of your videos.
If only I could access such valuable information, when I was a kid, excellent explanation! 🥰
Gratidao , simple & direct
A valuable lesson, especially for students who are just beginning. Thanks for sharing. Excellent work.
Thank you!
Just the information I was looking for; And found nowhere else. Thank you so very much.
I'm a Jazz guitarist newly obsessed with trying to learn classical guitar.
It's a frustrating and humbling experience. Thank you so much for these extremely valuable guidelines which are fundamental to proficiency in technique and good sound.
Nice, hope it helps and brings you a bit of joy during your practice sessions :)
Hi there! How’s it going with the transition so far? I play mostly jazz chord melody stuff and consider playing a nylon string as well as learning and applying some right hand technique to have some of this unique sound and feel under my fingers
Very helpful lesson. Subscribed! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the great advice
You’re welcome 😃
Excellent tips! Thank you for your detailed explanations.
My pleasure!
I am primarily a metal shred guitarist and I am looking at getting into classical style guitar playing. This is a good video to start with. Thank you.
Now this is a very valuable lesson, there is an improvement already with my playing, especially picado
Thank you very much !!
Thank-you Merce for a focused lesson. Easy to understand.
You are welcome!
Very helpful!much appreciated
Your videos are so helpful!! I just got into playing classical guitar and there hasn’t been much information about it but I’m glad I found your channel!!
I'm so glad I can help you then! Indeed there are not many classical guitar dedicated channels with tutorials, I'll do my best to bring lots of topics to get you covered! 😊 keep on practicing!!!
I do play w/ a Pick so it's easier to make a good sound by simply striking the strings.
Hola, Merce, encantado. Soy un guitarrista aficionado japonés.
Recientemente he encontrado su canal. Es muy útil y fácil de entender. Muchas gracias.
Thank you 🙏🏻 Merce Font. Valuable insights and tips. Greetings from Texas.
Thanks you Pavan for watching! Best wishes to you and practice well!
This is a very good video for me as I am working on improving my right hand technique. I tend to tense up my hands when I concentrate on learning a piece. Consequently, I have started to experience some pain. I really need to learn to relax the fingers and developing economy of movement. This is so important.
Thank you
thank you great lesson.
Thank you so much Merce for taking the time to help us in this journey that is playing the guitar, I once picked up the electric guitar but then I found myself gravitating towards beginner-friendly folk and classical pieces, but overall it's very difficult and requires a lot of dedication, which makes me admire your skills and talent even more 🙌🙌 So thank you very much Merce!! Keep doing what you love and stay safe 😊
thank you very much rabendranath for your message! I'll be happy if my tutorials help other players, that's the only reason I'm making them :) Take care and keep making music as well! :)
Thank you.
Thank you Merce for making this video. I really like your style of instruction. It's clear and concise.
Right hand technique is so fundamental and something I've been struggling with. Please continue making more instructional videos. Thank you again!
I'll do my best to bring more tutorials very soon, for sure! Glad it helped you! Stay well and keep practicing! :)
Total agreement, her teaching style is so easy to watch and learn from.
thank you very much!
Really calm and clear instruction, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m here because I love your Scarlatti performances and have this dream in the back of my mind; that one day I can make a guitar sound almost as good as one that you pick up and master! Thanks for sharing your talent and sharing the priceless info through these tutorials.
Please do and go for it! With patience and dedication you'll go far! 🙌🏻
Thank you! I wish i knew it last year!
Great video, thanks!
Thanks for the advice, clear, and very helpful.
You're very welcome!

You are very welcome :) thank you for your kind words!
Awesome ! Thanks for the great video :)
Super helpful, thank you.
So glad!
This is so perfect and exactly what I was looking for/ I've been trying to learn and struggling with tension and pain on my wrist and tendons. You are a life saver!
I'm so glad!
Well done!
This is great, thx! It would be even better with the constant background music off or at least at lower volume, it's a bit distracting tbh.
That rosette is amazing!
yay! I love it as well! the guitar maker did an incredible work there, one day I'll make a video on that so that you can know the massive work he did... 😊
Thank you so much for this video! I was looking for a video on this topic and yours was very helpful!
Thank you Elvira! Glad it was helpful! :) I wish you a great practice!

Bi thanks for the videos I’m 55 and just started playing classical love it
Thanks for the tips, good to know. My guitar teacher told me the most important thing is to never have long fingernails on your right hand. Never keep them longer than what is needed for a normal life style, you see you need the skin to build a good tone.
Thank you Ma'am 😊
You are welcome Deven!
Superb thank you.
Most welcome 😊
Thank you very much. Been looking for a good video like this one for a while. Trying to get back into classical guitar and couldn’t figure out why I kept missing strings with my right has I played. If you don’t use it, you lose it I guess!!! But It all makes sense now. Just have to rewire my brain again. Gotta go practice now! Thanks again!
Glad it was helpful! Wish you success in your rewiring!! 🙌🏻😃
Hello Merce, thank you for the excellent video regarding the right hand technique. Your explanations are very precise and detailed. I've been playing the electric bass for a long time and my whole life I've had the problem of not being able to play particularly fast. But your explanations showed me a few new points that might help. Maybe I can get further with this :-)
Good luck and all the best for your career!
Thomas
Cool video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank u
Thank you! It is a very helpful and useful video. I am a beginner guitar student. I am going to use it.
Awesome! Wish you lots of progress!☺️
I just went to my TikTok to check my ukulele plucking, and I'm absolutely doing that upwards pluck when I play fingerstyle 😅
Good to know. Now I can at least fix it.
great advice!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Awesome tips thanks
Happy to help!
This is so helpful, I’m only on day 5 of learning and I’ve been playing with my thumb only and my hands straight lol. I noticed no one else was doing this and figured I should learn the correct way.
5 days! Aww so nice! Wish you lots of fun! Enjoy your guitar first steps because that's a unique time! :D
