Some of y'all might know the tune La Catedral by Agustin Barrios. It's a hallmark of advanced classical guitar repertoire. So, how do you tackle something like this that's way beyond your ability. Well that's exactly what I cover in today's video! What's your familiarity with La Catedra.

Hello all. I have a question about a technique I have seen Sam do in many videos now. It is when he does a stroke with the index finger (I) at the same time as hitting the base notes with his thumb (P) to make a percussive sound at the same time as letting a note ring out. I have tried to do this myself, but every time, I seem to be either beating the strings and/or muting the notes. If anyone has advice on how to properly do this technique it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Amazing playing and sound absolutely stunning this piece

Ok. So I've got a few favorites. But in the classical world, this guy is at the top of my list. Marko Topchii is an absolute machine. I've actually learned a ton for just watching him practice. Check out this vid and lemmi know what you guys think. Question -- Is he the best guitar players you've ever seen? P.S. If you wanna take that guitar playing to the next level. Book in a chat here and we can talk about it.

Bruhh forget the piece you're practicing for a second and just play one note. FURREAL. Play one note with your index finger and REALLY listen to it. Is it warm? Is there a click? Is your hand relaxed? Can you play it 5 times and have all 5 sound basically the same? Now do the same thing with your middle finger. Does it sound like your index? Now try your ring finger. This is such a stupidly simple exercise, but if your index, middle and ring fingers all produce noticeably different sounds, those inconsistencies are going to come out when you actually play music. So start with ONE finger. I usually recommend index. Get that thing sounding awesome, and then try to make the other fingers match it. And btw, do this quietly. Don't try to annihilate the string. Get the relaxed movement and good sound first. We can add volume later. Try a few notes right now. How consistent are your fingers? P.S. If you're realizing your right hand needs some serious work, book a call with me here and we can figure out what you should be focusing on.
