Anyone else into classical guiar? I've been playing acoustic for a while but am just starting to learn seom classical stuff, the fingerpicking is alot different. Seems great to impress people with, lol.

I took Classical Guitar classes for 1 year and a half ... it's really cool

I've been wanting to take classical guitar lessons for a while.. its beautiful!

i also apprcieate classical guitar, but isn't this a METAL forum? just thought i'd point that out.

Its also a guitar forum, and there are countless metal bands that incorperate classical guitar into their stuff.

Opeth, in flames, Arcturus, Sonata Arctica....... the list goes on

ummmm...... wow. i know all about all the "classical" guitar riffs incorperated in metal music, but i just thought if you wanted to talk about playing classical guitar you may want to check out, ummmm, let's see, a classical guitar forum instead of trying to bring it up in a metal forum? just a thought.

i take classical guitar too. great bands like children of bodom and in flames's giutarists took classical giutar and look how well it helped them with their technique

I'm currently learning classical guitar by myself, with my electric guitar (thanks to my effect padel )

I was from the beginning on interested in Classical Guitar, even though I played Death/ Black Metal.

Im learning

i used to get classical guitar lessons free of my college, they were pretty cool, got to learn alot of shit by fernando sor and some other dude, pagannine or somet. I've found it comes in useful wen creating intro's to songs etc. and it really impresses people

I play calassical too ( i like bach pieces), but i like more playing Flamenco and it is muc more difficult ( it has some "riffs" that arer similar to scales i use to play deathmetal).

But my passion is The electric_distorted_supra-amplified_obscurant_metal guitar

It's Paganini. He influenced a shit load of neo-classical shredders including Malmsteen and Becker.

Caprice 24, and Caprice 5 kicks ass

Ive been playing classical for like a year, right now im working on some flamenco stuff, classical is the hardest kind of style of guitar.

yes classical guitar is great. ive been taking lessons for about 7 months or so?
i dont remember. the hardest thing about it for me was the nail-growing. classical guitar is very fun. i am especailly fond of songs that incorporate different arpeggios in them. very fun and useful for the right hand.

Classical guitar is cool, but really hard. It's all about the sound you're able to get ; there are so many possibilities... and yeah, growing nails sucks, especially because you've got to cut them when you want to go tapping on an electric guitar.
Any song by Augustin Barrios Mangore is incredible (to play and to listen). Most of Albeniz stuff is also great, but too hard to play for me (I think it's because he composed mostly on a piano, and then transcribed it on guitar, which sometimes gives strange hand-positionning).

Check out the classical guitar on pretty much any Vital Remains album...

I do admire a bit of classical guitar, but I still struggle with uber-insensitve and unsutble axe bludgeoning, so deleicate figner picking is definetly out
