Classical

Im wondering where i should start to learn
old old Classical stuff like
Bache
on guitar,,
and all that neat stuff
and then work my way into Rock!

ahh, bach has some great beginner guitar stuff. check out his two part inventions and his "well tempered clavier" books.

only kidding. but jokes aside, you gotta start from the basics. pick up a classical guitar book at a music shop and get going. here is a cool site where there are TABS for tons of pieces: http://www.classtab.org/

but if you really want to learn, there is much more than that. reading music is a necessity, and if you're rusty you might want to start practicing again. i know it's painful but start sightreading little things you see. whip out some piano sheet music and play the right hand; see how well you can do it with as little starts and stops as possible.


aside from that, learn your techniques!! don't be a pouser like me. true classical guitar players have alot of know-how as far as nail care as well. it's all about them thumbs, son! there are a number of techniques like piccazzo (sp?) and junk like that, essentially meaning how you pluck the strings and in what part on the soundhole.

and remember, compared to the piano/violin, there is a complete lack of guitar music for classical guitar. most pieces are transcriptions of other instruments, and there where only a few composers that created timeless guitar compositions (mainly tarrega, sor, and segovia).

talk to some of the instructors on the site, i'm sure a few know much more than i can tell you. good luck broseph!

We also have songs and exercises from beginner to advanced, and pieces from many great composers (Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Haydn, Tarrega, Sor, Carulli, Strauss, Dvorak, etc.). Check out this page and scroll down the the "Classical" section:

You can start learning from the very beginning here:

And then proceed to all the other great tutorials by GT instructors on Rock Guitar! I wish you the best of success with it.

Or you can combine 2 great musical genres (Classical music and METAL!!!!) into what is known as Neo-Classical Metal. Yngwie Malmsteen is the guy to look up to in this field. He has redone many classical guitar songs with a metal feel. Not to mention he is one of the best guitarists ever.

Some of his songs you may like:
Canon in D (Pachelbel's song)
Beethoven's 5th
Bach's Bouree in E minor
Paganini's 5th Caprice
