Classical Guitar - General - Facepunch Forum

[i]So I thought we could have this thread since the official Guitar Thread is pretty much solely about electric guitars and Metallica.[/i] Classical guitar (aka Spanish guitar) is a style of solo playing where you finger pick. Typically you play the bass, the melody + harmony by yourself. The guitars themselves are usually spanish made and have nice curves. They are pretty much exclusively nylon stringed.

It utilizes three-finger style tremolo picking which is very difficult. But I'm starting to get the hang of it.

I don't know many classical guitar pieces, but of the ones I've heard, this one is my favorite: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36_X-bojjUY&feature=related[/media]

I have a classical guitar. It can play great stuff. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_8d0DJpbBI&feature=related[/media]

I play lots of classical guitar. I wish I had a camcorder to record some of my stuff though.

Eventually I will buy a classical guitar. But after I buy a new electric and a new amp and some drums and a bass and probably some other stuff.

I started with classical guitar, and it gave the foundation to play pretty much anything. Just the other week I dusted off my classical guitar to play a cover of Metallica's Orion with a buddy of mine at my school. Hopefully sounded something like this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0CsLefLisE[/media]
