How to play fingerstyle guitar

Want to learn Classical Guitar but need a starting point?

ive been playing guitar for 3 years now, and i’ve gotten really good (i don’t mean that to be conceited or anything >.<)
at first like every guitarist i started out with rock, then i moved onto jazz
im at the point where i can sight read most jazz and i know how to form all the chords and everything
so my next guitar task is learning classical guitar, but i have no idea where to begin
should i hire a guitar teacher to help me learn how to play it
or is there any piece i can start learning or things to practice to learn how to Play Classical Guitar?
Also, another reason i want to learn is because i’m a junior in high school and im going to be
going to college in a year, and all college auiditions require classical pieces

Hello,

The best thing you can do is to find a good teacher. If you have trouble doing that, then I would recommend that you acquire a copy of the following:

There are others that are also very good, but to my knowledge, this is about the most popular classical method on the market these days. I hope that helps.

Be well,
Donny

Classical Accordion $14.42 Latvian accordionist Ksenija Sidorova offers a disclaimer: “It will probably be a while before the phrase ‘I play the classical accordion’ doesn’t sound unusual or funny!” But she has taken a big step toward legitimizing the instrument with this release from Britain’s Champs Hill label. It avoids the twin poles that have characterized much of the classical accordion music that has appeared thus far: music influenced by the jazz avant-garde on one hand, and reworked folk styles on the other. Sidorova offers two types of music: contemporary compositions for accordion and arrangements of Baroque and Classical keyboard works. The listener will be struck by how well the whole program holds together and how well executed Sidorova’s arrangements are; hearing transcriptions of Bach, Mozart, and Domenico Scarlatti after works by Luciano Berio and Norwegian composer Arne Nordheim, you feel as though you’re hearing the music in a new way. This isn’t due just to the fact of the accordion’s novelty: Sidorova shapes the music from Bach’s Overture in the French style, BWV 831, into registral layers that reflect the sort of construction to which the modern composers naturally turn. The accordion can sustain tones and inflect their textures while doing so, and Nordheim’s opening work Flashing and Berio’s Sequenza XIII, both influenced by electronic music, make primary use of this ability. After that, you can’t help but hear Bach and Mozart in those terms. With the exception of Alfred Schnittke’s Revis Fairy Tale, an arrangement of music from the ballet Esquisses (via several intermediate steps), Sidorova sticks with a combination of modern music originally for accordion and standard-repertoire music arranged for it. Sample the bonus track, a movement from Astor Piazzolla’s swan song Five Tango Sensations for bandoneón and string quartet, to experience Sidorova’s very expressive playing. A real treat for any fan of the accordion or for anyone who has considered the interesting question of how an instrument becomes established in classical repertoire; as Sidorova points out, a century ago nobody considered the guitar a classical instrument either, despite its glorious past. ~ James Manheim, Rovi Performers: Ksenija Sidorova – Accordion
