antimatter Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 I think of all the ways I've wasted $172 in the past. Nice job and a Friday to boot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Strat Posted October 17, 2003 Author Share Posted October 17, 2003 I'm starting off with Paganini's Caprice #5 and Fugato by Achim Reinders. If I can just get my right hand up to the speed of my left I'll be in good shape! BlueStrat a.k.a.

Has anyone heard Yngwie on a nylon string? Yeah , Paganini was the Yngwie of his day, except he had some original ideas. Yngwie copies Paganini extensively. Switching from a pick to fingerstyle (required for a lot of the classical style guitar) isn't an easy task for me. I have very short fingernails now, and can't stand them long, so I've got to get my finger tips between the strings. Caprice #5 looks like a good excercise to get my left hand technique up to snuff on the higher frets, while Fugato will hopefully improve my right hand technique. Or that's the plan. BlueStrat a.k.a.

revolead Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Nice guitar man. Good luck with it. I haven't played a whole lot of classical guitar, so I have no idea how good one is over the other. Keep us up on how your relationship goes. Shut up and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats!I've been practicing for the past three hours on it, but I've gotta put it down and get some dinner before I go to work. So far I love it! It's a hell of a lot easier to play than my steel stringed Ovation. The Ovation has been assigned to rythym duties from this day forward! BlueStrat a.k.a.

Blue Strat Posted October 19, 2003 Author Share Posted October 19, 2003 It's day three and I'm still in love with it! I've got the first of three pages of Fugato memorized, trying to build speed and timing on it before going on to the next page. I'm fired up over playing guitar again! I guess it's the total change of style and learning something new. BlueStrat a.k.a.
