Buy a classical guitar

Good Solid advice on purchasing a classical guitar.

I have been playing guitar for many many years and it is one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. I am not a performer, I just do it for my own personal satisfaction and occasionally I will play for friends and family. Buying a guitar (I now have three) was one of the best decisions I ever made. The budget is long forgotton and the money I spent is still with me in the form of the music I play and the satisfaction I get.

If you are planning on heading off to the local guitar shop to purchase a classical guitar here is some practical advice for you. Advice on purchasing a classical guitar

You are going to be so happy that you bought a guitar and learned how to play. There is a richness that comes to you as you learn to play an instrument. And the guitar has been my constant companion through many interesting years.

The guitar will be your companion too

So maybe you are thinking about the expense. Don't! Life passes by so fast. You need to grab some of the rich textures in life and music is one of them.

What does music bring to your life? When you hear an old song on the radio, one that you used to love, doesn't it take you back to that time? This is the power of music. And the ability to play music amplifies the feeling, the appreciation and the reward.

Classical Guitar will add a level of creativity to you that you never experienced before. The opportunities are endless.

Here is a creative expression that I do with my guitar: I have a podcast that I do every week. It is an epic fantasy novel that I wrote called Lion's Last Kill. And I do the intro and ending music for it with my classical guitar. This is absolutely great! Can you understand the satisfaction I get from this? The guitar adds a level of creativity to the podcast and to the richness of my creativity.

Want to hear a chapter of the novel with the guitar work? Just right click on the cover of the novel and save the mp3 then play it. Or just press the pupu player and it will play automatically without any download.

Having Doubts about whether you can learn to play? Of course you can learn to play. And I can prove it!

I'm left-handed. Very dominantly left-handed. And I learned how to right handed classical guitar playing play right-handed. I only play as a righty and I learned this way because the strings on my first guitar were arranged for right handed play and the book I had was for right handed play.

So whether you are a righty or a lefty or even if you are a double lefty like me you will learn how to play and you will get pretty good!

If you still aren't inspired then you should watch this concert. The beauty of it will well tears in your eyes.

Check out this video of Ana Vidovic in concert playing the classical guitar. It's free and you need to have the real player to watch it. The sheer beauty of the music will make your heart swell.
