The classical guitar is a primary member of the guitar family. Also known to some as the Spanish guitar, classical guitars enjoy a long-held reputation for being well-built, handcrafted pieces involving countless hours of work by master luthiers. The basic body style of the classical guitar is similar to that of a normal acoustic guitar, but does have two subtle differences. The classical guitar generally has a wider fret board and utilizes nylon strings rather than steel; this tends to produces a softer, warmer tone with a clearer, richer sound palette. A notable variation between the classical guitar and its relatives is in its playing style: notes are usually plucked with the fingers instead of strummed with a pick. Like many other classical compositions, songs for classical guitar are passed on from teacher to student through the channels of formal music education.
In this free music instruction video series, learn important classical guitar techniques. Our teacher will walk you through beginner methods for holding the instrument, positioning your hands, reading sheet music, slurring notes, and playing arpeggios. Learn three basic classical guitar songs, including Greensleeves.
