I started out with classical guitar.. my ultimate goal was to play cavatina. Now, I've got it.
But, I've moved on to fingerstyle and some rhythm acoustic. Play cavatina among other styles on acoustic now. |

Ah, finally meet people who share the same interest in the soft mellow sound of a classical guitar.
Basically any song played with a classical guitar sounds lovely. |

Actually classical guitar for my opinion,the most complicated among other music.For the same song,play by different person sound different.Sometime i play a song,but then hearing professional playing is a totally different things! So hard to master indeed and need a lot of patience,most of the times when losing the patience will get bored.
Added on November 4, 2009, 2:01 pmSong that made me learn guitar is all of it,just i see my father student play well and it inspired me to do so.So thats made me started.Hope to learn piano too,but half way sink d LOL This post has been edited by zencyc1123: Nov 4 2009, 02:01 PM |

Yeah, cause classical guitars is an example of a one-man band
You have to play the bass, guitar, keyboard, violin, vocals all composed into one. Haha professional use custom hand-made solid cedar/spurce wood spanish guitars. The room and atmosphere also affects the sound. Hmm, they say classical guitars must be kept at a certain humidity level area to maintain the mellow sound of the guitar. Apparently the humidity in Malaysia is too high, and might cause your guitar to crack overtime. |

play alone for classical guitar sometimes is quite boring, usually i play classical part and my frenz will do the strumming when we are free.
Anyway guys i am thinking of getting a new guitar this weekend. Budget around RM500-700, but currently i am quite confused weather wanna get an acoustic guitar or a classical guitar. The thing is i already had an classical guitar so maybe would want to go for an acoustic guitar, but my classical guitar is kapok and the sound isn't really nice even tho my dad bought it for me last time for RM800. So now quite confused weather to get a classical guitar or acoustic now, any suggestion? |

Zencyc,
you start from Grade1 or start from Grade3 exam? Destiny, classical guitar will mainly to play classical music... normally didn't involve singing... Acoustic mostly for pop song strumming & plucking... depend on your need... if you play pop song more and prefer pop song then should go for Acoustic... |

ya it's a Rm800 kapok, my dad was truly a legend for buying that. However despite of the sound quality and all the negative things about it. It is still my first guitar so i'm still precious it.
Anyway is there any recommendation for a decent classical guitar around RM500-800? |

The sound of good guitar will improve over time. And there is a big different of sound between Solid Wood and Laminated Wood. I tried La Patrie (from Canada) in The Guitar Store, that guitar is about RM1600++ and the sound is real solid... of course it is solid top. You can look for Steven in The Guitar Store in Damansara Perdana, he is a nice sales there... When you want to buy a guitar, don't be shy to ask to try it. If they don't let you try, then don't buy from them.. haha This post has been edited by Weelar: Nov 6 2009, 09:28 AM |

i see, but don't think i can fork up 1k + for a guitar since i'm still studying at the moment. Can't afford to spend too much of my pocket money on it
 .Feel quite guilty of spending too much of my parents money. So maybe i should just go for an acoustic guitar instead. Anyway do you all think that playing classical guitar is tougher than piano?This post has been edited by DestinyMiracle: Nov 6 2009, 01:38 PM |

Can't afford to spend too much of my pocket money on it Learning classical guitar is tough, teaching is tough as well. I don't comment the piano coz i never learned it. But for beginner students, i think guitar students will suffer more, they may find it hard to press the string down and produce nice tone, complain their fingers sore and all that, a lot of problems.. I remember i took 2-3 months to get my F chord sounds right... hahaha.. really hard to learn barre. .Feel quite guilty of spending too much of my parents money.

Piano when one hand is ok,but when need 2 hands it is like using right brain and left brain....takes me a lot of times to master but in the end also forget all LOL
Playing guitar for a long time cause my left hand finger to bcm very thick and in that way didn't feel too much pain when having barre or single note |

haha even until now i still find difficult of playing bar code. i prefer guitar for the reason that i don't know. Learn piano when i was very young before, but due to mental immaturity i quitted after grade 5. Then after a few years blank, i start to pick up classical guitar during form 5 time. But it seems really hard to find classical guitar sheet for pop song.

Learn piano when i was very young before, but due to mental immaturity i quitted after grade 5. Then after a few years blank, i start to pick up classical guitar during form 5 time. But it seems really hard to find classical guitar sheet for pop song. Very hard to find pop song.. most of the time i arrange the pop music by myself using classical style.. hehe.. |

guitar is a very special instrument.. it can be easy to play and at the same time difficult to play.. especially classical guitar...
u can see a lot of ppl having grade 8 in piano, but u hardly see ppl holding grade 8 in guitar.. don't even say diploma.. |

The last time i attend the yamaha guitar competition (a.k.a yamaha guitar festival) was year 2008. Normally they organize it in August or Sept yearly. But this year yamaha didn't organize any guitar competition. By the way, you only can use yamaha brand guitar to enter their competition.You may check out Guitar Collection Classical Guitar Competition. This year Guitar Collection successfully organized their 1st classical guitar competition in June. Not sure next year still got or not. |

Wow I've checked a few links and you are all so skillful! (Jealous) hahaha.
I picked up guitar by learning classical first it was awesome and it never got boring! but i only got to Yamaha grade 7 book (i think) and then I stopped going to classes because of PMR at that time. Anyway, I was HORRIBLE at sightreading! I always end up playing few bars at a time then memorise, in the end don't even have to look at the book. But I feel that's sort of like cheating...anyone have the same problem with sight-reading?? haih.. |

QUOTE(DestinyMiracle @ Nov 6 2009, 01:35 PM) Anyway do you all think that playing classical guitar is tougher than piano? Yes, the classical guitar is really really tough to play, as compared to playing the piano.For piano, getting the right notes is relatively easy. Just know where to press, and control your fingers, if you get what I mean. For the classical guitar, you have to find the right notes, then your left hand has to press properly, then you've got to control your right hand plucking.. Haha. I had, and still have, a relatively horrible time trying to work on new pieces.  On the classical guitar, of course. Kinda made me regret quitting piano so early, it's so much easier compared to guitar! (Then again, could be because I'm so comfortable with the piano already, but quite new to classical guitar.) |

QUOTE(JayLew @ Dec 15 2009, 01:18 AM) Yes, the classical guitar is really really tough to play, as compared to playing the piano. Most people find it difficult producing great tone on classical guitar. It is because you have to directly use your own fingers to hit the strings without third party mechanism such as a pick, bow, key, etc.. Your fingernails shape, the angle that you hit the string, rest stroke or free stroke... are the factors that determine the sound.For piano, getting the right notes is relatively easy. Just know where to press, and control your fingers, if you get what I mean.

but the sound from a classical guitar is really really beautiful i would say. I personally love the sound from a classical guitar compare to piano. But however there are some pieces that only can be play in piano but not in classical guitar. Classical guitar is quite limited to the type of pieces it can play compare to piano.

i also prefer the sound of nylon string than steel string. It's so beautiful, mellow, natural, and touchy when i hear the sound.
chezzball, LYN had a classical guitar gathering in sunway before, it was 2 years ago.. got 5 or 6 people that time. I think we need to make it bigger this time.. haha! |

I just bought a classical guitar from deadeye. YEH YEH!
 Anybody can give me guitar notes for Cavatina, Asturias, would be very very grateful. Can't find my old brown guitar book used long ago before my old classical guitar broke. mhfw at yahoo dot com. Nice to know there's this classical guitar forum at LYN. We are giving free guitar lessons (simple) for UMS students in KK Sabah. Anyone interested?

Although classical and acoustic guitars can be played rather similarly, they have distinct sounds and each of these guitars have their distinct style of play. |

Been practicing Sueno en la Floresta for some time now....just the first part though
Anyone mind sharing some tips?I keep comparing mine to John William's version and yeah....the vast difference!My tremolo technique is quite loud hence not very suitable for this song as the tremolo needs to be much softer to blend into the melody  This post has been edited by -kytz-: Jan 2 2010, 03:27 AM |

Hmm, since you guys have learned some theory for sure, I'd like to ask, how did you memorize the fretboard notes? It feels silly asking such a question actually, haha.

Hmm.I can play Romance D Amor.Now practising Marriage D Amor.
Usually I just play with some pop songs with chords,which can be sung out. But actually,more interested with classical,yet it need more time to practise. And also been practising Bach's Prelude from Cello Suite No.1.Err,I know it's easy to all you people.. |

QUOTE(rxy @ Jan 22 2010, 08:00 PM) But the most important thing is to enjoy.. From my opinion,classical music have a beautiful tone.A tones that reach the inner part of our mind.It resemble the story,the memory and the happy moment we have in our life.Classical music is not for everyone however and i think the beauty of it is that it compliment with our mood and feeling.Enjoy playing the tones.. It is best listen when our heart are at peace and hormony.Only people with a pure heart and is at peace can truly listen the music to it best.Sometime music also resemble a person personality,although it is not to be conclude that we will have only one type of music in our life but what will be the most favourite music is what that is matter. I like rock music sometime in my life too but i like classical music most of the times. Music to me is life.There are a lot of people in this world,with different type of behaviour.Some nice but mostly bad lol.Music also the same i think for life. |

QUOTE(Lelouch @ Aug 17 2010, 01:22 PM) is it hard to learn classical guitar by urself ? thinking of going into it You can learn by yourself, but you may end up using wrong techniques and bad habit. Classical is strict, it has many rules, posture, a lot more complicated, and the technique is different from contemporary playing. You need to learn reading notes, and learn theory. From my experience, it's better learn classical from an experienced teacher. |

Hi Guys:
I have some newbie questions on guitar string. I have been using normal tension string since i first learn guitar. Recently i have bought an Antonio Sanchez 1008, and find the string sometime sustains much longer than i can control. Is it the characteristic of high tension string (long sustain)? Thanks Added on October 1, 2010, 8:42 pmI just bought a set of normal tension string today. Once changed the guitar works like charm. This post has been edited by nghonyuen: Oct 1 2010, 08:42 PM |

It is call Ergoplay, German product. you could search the internet for more information. It is available locally, price range from around RM190 (basic model) to RM 280 (better model). If you are interested, you could contact me, my HP 0162311906. There is also a shop in Jalan Ipoh selling it, if you stay near Kepong. Like any other product, there is also cheaper version make from China, which, of course, inferior to the German brand one. |

Hi everyone,
Glad to have found this amazing forum and hope some kind souls can assist me. A short intro. As my nick suggest, I'm shopping for a full size solid top classical guitar for my daughter. Upgrading from a 3/4 Valencia. It's coming to the end of the second year and time to upgrade. MOD, This place is sooo big! Let me know if I have posted in the incorrect sub-forum. I have took my daughter around to 'feel' the various brands available in the market and There are a few guitars with their own unique questions and for the first, I'd like to start with the LaPatrie ETUDE. Has anyone owned this guitar before? I understand that it has a truss rod to correct bowing, but because it is a thinner neck, its it more prone to warping compared to, say, a regular neck of a Alhamra or Yamaha without truss rods.? Thanks! |

QUOTE(DaddyGuitar @ Nov 25 2010, 10:05 AM) Hi everyone, You are asking in the right place. No worries. Glad to have found this amazing forum and hope some kind souls can assist me. A short intro. As my nick suggest, I'm shopping for a full size solid top classical guitar for my daughter. Upgrading from a 3/4 Valencia. It's coming to the end of the second year and time to upgrade. MOD, This place is sooo big! Let me know if I have posted in the incorrect sub-forum. I have took my daughter around to 'feel' the various brands available in the market and There are a few guitars with their own unique questions and for the first, I'd like to start with the LaPatrie ETUDE. Has anyone owned this guitar before? I understand that it has a truss rod to correct bowing, but because it is a thinner neck, its it more prone to warping compared to, say, a regular neck of a Alhamra or Yamaha without truss rods.? Thanks! I have never came across with a classical guitar with truss rod, I think 90% of the classical guitars do not have truss rod. I understand the reason of the use of truss rod on steel strings guitar because steel strings have higher tension and tends to wrap the neck, so we need to the truss rod to adjust the neck relief. Classical normally have thicker neck, the relief is planned into the neck when the guitar is built, and the nylon strings has lower tension, in this case, it doesn't require a truss rod. You mentioned about the La Patrie guitar has thinner neck, I think it's more prone to warping compared to thicker neck classical guitar. So they place a truss rod in the guitar. EDIT: You tried this guitar in guitarcollection? This post has been edited by la bella: Nov 25 2010, 11:17 AM |

la bella,
The Etude is the only one with truss-rod in the market here. In fact, double truss rods if I read their writeup correctly. Yes, tried it at GC. Among other criteria, my 11y.o. daughter found the neck to be 'easier' than others. Therefore, my questions about the this particular neck. Do you play the classical guitar? nostrings, You are correct. Our weather does concern me, and if the rods are able to correct the bowing/bending, I can live with it. But if the neck twist/warp, I understand that it is a case of 'cannot save' Thus, I am hoping to hear from Etude owners about this.BTW, what would be the other ' ...better choices', if you mind? We are still doing our rounds of trying out different guitars. Some may get another visit or two. |

La Patrie is canadian guitar, under the Godin company, the company that produces Seagull, Art&Lutheir, Norman, Simon & Patrick. I think Godin is better in producing electric guitar and acoustic guitar. Not sure about their classical guitar. |

We are still doing our rounds of trying out different guitars. Some may get another visit or two. No matter what brand, most important things you need to consider is alway the sound (tone) make by the guitar, compare the sound first instead of physical aspect of the guitar. You also need play EVERY notes, EVERY position of the guitar to check whether you get any buzzing sound (especially higher position) you can also check what kind of wood it use. to ease your fear of warping neck, try to go for ebony for the finger board, ebony is very hard wood. Check sound board for solid wood. Most classical guitar use Cedar or Spruce sound board. Cedar is cheaper with sweeter sound, Spruce is brighter but more expensive because it has better projection. As for the "easier' neck, sometime we just need to adjust our technique to suit a good guitar. Any, if you looking for mid-range student guitars, my suggestion is Manuel Rodriguez. It is the best money-for-value guitar you can get. It mid-range student guitar price at 2k-5k. Directly from Spain, world famous brand (MR also make concert guitar worth RM20-30k), great sound and craftsmanship. Check it out. This post has been edited by yeehoo: Nov 26 2010, 10:57 AM |

I checked the edges of the soundhole, the grain lines are visible. I did test one L.lutheir acoustic guitar at a music center in jalan klang lama, yes, as you said, it's laminated top wood, the grain line not visible, it's not solid top as the sticker tells. I asked the boss, he insisted it's solid top. i just tried a couple of l.luthier's in music master, both are acoustic. both also say solid top on the sticker inside the soundhole. 1 was rm550, another rm950...but the rm550 is actually laminated top.  |

I have a MR too. Model D.
The only quirk that I didn't really like was the 1st string is too near the edge. Most of the time it's hard to do a slur because the string will go out to the edge when I sort of pluck it. Though the sound of the guitar is excellent for its price. |

Hi everyone,
I'm back now. The house's wireless router burnt and replacing a new one is an experience worthy of a thread on its own Back to guitars..... Thanks all for the info so far. Anyone has experiences with Alhambra guitars? Any differences from MR? Built and/or pricing. |

QUOTE(DaddyGuitar @ Nov 28 2010, 09:23 PM) Hi everyone, I own an Alhambra 6P (cedar solid top with laminated Indian rosewood side and back) , nice guitar on sound and quality, its price is on par with MR model C. However , in my opinion, MR edge out Alhambra on both count, tone is warmer and sound like hand make guitar while Alhambra still sound and look like factory guitar. Alhambra use to be my recommended guitar until MR came into market. Still, Alhambra is a good choice provided you can get it cheaper than MR. I'm back now.

Anyone has experiences with Alhambra guitars? Any differences from MR? Built and/or pricing. Both MR and Alhambra's neck is slightly wider but slightly thinner than C-40.

Correct me. The Alhambra 6P is marketed as the equivalent/alternative to the MR C, not the C1 or C3, models? I did not come across C1 and C3 myself, but based on MR Catalogue , they are listed in the same series with lower quality guitar Caballero 10, which I do have experience with and Caballero 10 is make in China. While Model C is listed in different series which all the guitar in the series are make in Spain. Hope this information can help you. This post has been edited by yeehoo: Nov 29 2010, 10:42 AM |

Classical Guitar Society Malaysia presents: A Classical Guitar concert with See Sew Hong (Malaysia), Ponpat Pongpradit (Thailand), Ernest Thomas (Malaysia) and Alessio Monti (Italy) Date: 8 Dec 2010 Time: 8.00 p.m. Venue : Tunku Abdul Rahman Auditorium Malaysia Tourism Centre Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur Admission Passes is at RM60.00. Thank you. See Sew Hong and Ernest Thomas are part of Malaysia’s internationally acclaimed classical guitar ensemble, KLGE II. They are both very versatile performers, having performed solos, duos, trios and quartets repertoire in the ensemble. In 2005 they performed on Malaysia Hari Ini, a TV3 programme. The following year, they performed at the Ordu International Guitar Festival, Turkey as well as in a concert entitled An Evening with the Classical Guitar in Kuala Lumpur. Then in 2007 they performed again in a concert entitled Tanah Pusaka. In 2008, the Classical Guitar Society organised the world premiere concert entitled Gubahanku in which Ernest Thomas performed ‘Variations on a Malaysian song ‘Getaran Jiwa' by the late John Duarte. They performed with the KLGE II at the Bangkok International Guitar Festival 2009 and later that year, they played in Chiang Mai, Thailand. At the recent Thailand International Guitar Festival 2010, See Sew Hong took his turn in promoting our Malaysian music by playing ‘Getaran Jiwa’. Along with being educators in various music schools in the Klang valley, they are also lecturers at UiTM Faculty of Music, Selangor. Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(DaddyGuitar @ Nov 29 2010, 09:38 AM) Yeehoo, MR has a factory in china, some of the models are made in china. C1 is cheaper, if i'm not mistaken, it's rm1k+, I tried it in GuitarStore. Alhambra is expensive, it's made in Spain, although the specs may be same as MR, but there's huge price different.Correct me. The Alhambra 6P is marketed as the equivalent/alternative to the MR C, not the C1 or C3, models? |

I want to correct some misunderstanding, yes, I believe some big Spanish guitar maker do have factory in China, just like other big brand like Nike etc. Usually they make lower end product in China. However, please check the label inside the guitar, for MR, the label will state where it is make. Unless, unethical shop owners change the label to cheat customer. If you not sure, always ask for second opinions. |

Solid cedar top, laminated rosewood back and side. The model is C1 matte finish.Usually they make lower end product in China.

Solid cedar top, laminated rosewood back and side. The model is C1 matte finish. I did not saw any MR Model C1 myself, but if you check MR online catalogue, it was listed in the same series "Caballero" as Model Caballero 10 which I had experience, and the label of Caballero 10 is CLEARLY stated make in China. MR has a "Starter Package" for Caballero 10, together with other guitar accessories it selling at around RM1K. While Model "C" (not to be confuse with Model C1 and C3), in the online catalogue, is listed in different series "Laminadas", definitely Spanish make, the sound and quality clearly shown. Honestly, I did not know all MR models and its country manufactured, especially the lower end series "Caballero", but I do come across many MR mid-range student guitars from Model B upward,,Model FC and FG, even couple of MR Jr. Rio concert guitar. I strongly believe these mid-range guitars was made in Spain, while the lower end models with greater demand was made in China. |

This is getting interesting. More brands to look at.
I know Admira is under GC. Tried a few while trying Alhambras. The sales person don't seem to be pushing the Admiras. Who carries Esteves? |

So, brand and manufacturer country become a criteria for them. Well, most of the time, brand and manufacturer country is reliable indicator for quality guitar (until some people try to cheat), but you still need to watch out for defect products from well known brand.

Hi guys,
Did some googling and found that De Music House in Puchong carries Cuenca. Callled in and they confirm they are the one. Does anyone (smcg?) know what is the Cuenca equivalent of Alhambra's 5P? since Cuenca is priced below Alhambra, what should be the ballpark pricing on the Cuenca be? BTW, according to Alex, a shipment of new guitars just came in today  So, time to cuci mata Add: Which model will be M.Rodriguez's equivalent to the Alhambra 5P? Thanks all.

Yeehoo,
Can you share with us about the CGS Tribute concert on the 8th. What can I expect? How is the programme like? A night filled with different genres? Saw Ms.Yang in Bentley's last week. Had a scare when she tripped! We could all see, by the way she held so tightly to her guitar, that it is like her own baby. She may not have fallen down, but I was worried she may have pulled/strained some muscles which could affect her performance in KLPAC. |

If your have attend Ms. Yang or Flavio Cucchi concert in Bentley, our concert is not far from that but our concert features local classical guitarist. 2 performers for each half of the concert. From our Malaysia performers, I expect mixture of Spanish and South American pieces, but most importantly ‘Variations on a Malaysian song ‘Getaran Jiwa' by the late John Duarte, one of the only two composition from a renown composer dedicated to Malaysian Music. Pongpat Pongpradit will play Barrios, Brouwer and Tarrega. Alessio Monti will play his own composition, contemporary music. I just hope people can support this concert just like they attending Ms. Yang concert (I did attend her concert in KLpac), granted, Ms. Yang is world class guitarist, but these local classical guitarists had went to foreign countries to performs and promote Malaysia music and show the world that Malaysia classical guitarist are able to stand on a world stage just like other international performers, so why can't they get support in their home front? so, if you are free, please attend this concert, you can even chit-chat with these performers after the concert, they all are friendly people.

I got student feel terrible after exam but end up getting a merit. exam is not about making perfect playing, is more about making your music interesting. To make you feel better, even Ms. Yang Xuefei make mistake in her performance, but nobody care, because she make great music. Unlike school exams where students "kinda" punished for bad grades (move you to lower classes etc.), nobody said you can not play guitar anymore if you did badly in exam, there is always next year. And Bad grade in music exam, doesn't mean you are bad player, maybe you are just nervous on that that particular day, or you broke your nail, or you having cold etc. For tomorrow, the result of your exam is irrelevant, your experience of sitting for an exam is much much more important than that. think, feel and remember each moment, that will help you in the future.

Agreed. Last time I sit for a guitar exam, I didnt feel satisfied with the result . My teacher told me there's no need to feel sad, if I played to another examiner, I would get different marks, that is why music is an art. Exam result doesn't mean everything.Added on December 3, 2010, 10:05 amzstan, We feel nervous because we're too concern how people look at us when we perform.

No worries, it's normal to have some mistakes in a song, as long as your did well in other parts of the exam, it should be alright. Confirm can pass. |

No worries, it's normal to have some mistakes in a song, as long as your did well in other parts of the exam, it should be alright. Confirm can pass. i am not worried about passing. just hoping can get distinction. but i guess its a bit too much to ask for after the mistake. |

erm...basically i finish basic of violin piano years ago (doing diploma for both of them)....i play drum also... and also played trombone in an orchestra before. so i wont have problem in reading notes. The notes for 'classical' guitar is the same as the one on violin or piano right? means they are also using the 5 liner thingy??? I am hoping fr some books that can improve my fingerings, pressing, sight readings....
coz i dont really like to play songs in the beginning....its either too hard or too easy....i hope to train my foundation mroe firmly first. |

does anyone know about the trinity guitar exam,
whether the techical suite need to memorise or not? technical suite is the optional of scale arpeggio, as we know scale arpeggio must be memorised.

I am hoping fr some books that can improve my fingerings, pressing, sight readings.... Yes, guitar share the same music notation with violin (but an octave lower), you did not mention whether you know how to play the notes on guitar but I assume you know. coz i dont really like to play songs in the beginning....its either too hard or too easy....i hope to train my foundation mroe firmly first. First of all, I strongly suggest you take lesson with a good teacher if you are not planning to do so. despite the pieces in Solo & Accompaniment Guitar Book 1 and Book 2 by J.Png look easy, a good teacher will guide you to train your basic classical guitar technique with that pieces, which mean these easy pieces ARE a good exercise for your technique. The book really did not tell you much about the technique though, people just assume those pieces just for helping student to know the notes. if you really plan to self taught yourself, and want some challenge, here are the books : 1. ABRSM Scale book (two volume) from grade 1-8. 2. Fernando Sors Complete Studies: from simple etudes with single line melody to advance level studies worth stage performances. 3. M. Carcassi 25 studies for guitar, Op. 60: mostly advance studies There is also one book which I could not find it anywhere, "Quantum guitar mechanic and strings theory" (excellent title ) by Gary Ryan. I got few free sample pages from the author's website, but seem had been taken down. They are just finger patterns exercises to improve your left hand which I find it very useful. But again, if your have deep understanding of guitar technique, you could come out with your own exercises. at the end, i still suggest you take lesson to learn it properly. Btw, if you are in KL and free on 8 Dec 2010 night, please attend this concert: www.cgs.net.my supporting local classical guitarists. Thank you.

The strings of a guitar won't matter after playing it for a few months. You'll get used to it.
It's more important to learn the guitar that you're most comfortable with, style-wise, learning-wise and maybe even prospect of joining a band or something. Usually you won't see classical guitarists with bands. |

I'm right handed but I don't think it matters when playing guitar. Because both hands are very important while playing guitar, so both hands must be equally trained.

i played classical guitar for 6 years (self learn).. after hearing lefthanded-debunga wangi, i bought electric guitar.. but i rarely play the electric because i don't know what to play....... and my hand not so comfortable with electric guitar because i can't use full freedom with my right hand.. classical guitar is the most leisure and peaceful to play after all..
by the way, although i'm not very good at it but i really like and always play flamenco style with the classical guitar.. |

Hi again guys & gals,
Now my 5 1/2 yr old wants to play guitar (hope it is not a 'phase') lol! Naturally there are questions in choosing the gear and i hope there's some input from experienced guitarists here. What is more important? Fret/scale vs. string hard/softness? If you have seen the youtube about a N.Korean whizkid girl, the above are nonissues. LOL! Any ideas how shall I start off? I am thinking of 1/2 size with softest string. Maybe true natural gut strings? Thanks in advance. |

DaddyGuitar,
For a 5½ old kid, I suggest a half size guitar or yamaha Guitalele. My niece is 7 years old, I bought a yamaha guitalele for her to play. I teach her a couple of children songs and she enjoy playing it. The guitalele size is very suitable for young kid. It's actually a hybrid of guitar and ukulele. Just play the same way as normal guitar, only the different is the tuning is 4 steps up from the normal guitar. The sound is towards ukulele sound and it has very light fret touch. Check out the yamaha guitalele video. This post has been edited by la bella: Dec 22 2010, 04:53 PM |

bella,
Thanks for the guitalele intro. but what is the width of the neck? The one in the vid does look wide. Yeehoo, LOL. Ya, I didn't consider that gutstrings are pretty expensive. I'll be taking both the girls our sometime this week to try some sizes. I'll try to update here. I kinda 'nominate' the elder sister as the 'resident teacher'. Let her learn how to teach. Cheers!

QUOTE(DaddyGuitar @ Dec 23 2010, 01:12 PM) bella, I never measure the width, not sure about it, not too narrow though. An adult can play the guitalele without any problem. The fret to fret distance is smaller than regular guitar which is good for small hands. It's a quarter size guitar. I manage to find a picture, you can compare the guitalele and a full size acoustic guitar. Thanks for the guitalele intro. but what is the width of the neck? The one in the vid does look wide.

Guys.
Is it important to include my pinky during fingerpicking? Or without the pinky would be great enough? |

mhb,
Are you asking how to play this part in the song? ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- -------2---0------------------------ -3-------------3----2----0--------- ------------------------------------- -1----------------------------------- There's two notes (F notes) that sounds together in the beginning, just play the low E string with thumb, D string with index finger together. |

ok,
actually the 3 fingers other than the thumb, you can actually use them to play other strings.. don't let your fingers froze.. keep them moving.. make them alive! don't just bound to rules!! |

I think you refer to the last 2 bar ? play two F octave apart?Just remember your right hand fingers can move up and down, you can use any fingers to pluck any strings but you need a good sense of judgment to do it properly and effectively. For you case, just use p and i for these two notes. Can you read notes? if not I suggest you learn it. did you take any lessons? if not, I strongly suggest you do, it will help you alot especially this elementary problems of yours. |

I just want to recommend a guitar to you guys. A friend of mine has been using the Yamaha APX700 for quite a while and it sounds really good. It's a medium sized acoustic with pickups and the body has a cutaway. It's isn't very loud on it's own and the sound well, you've got to hear it yourself.
Edit: Guitar is actually APX 700 not CPX 700. This post has been edited by mumeichan: Dec 30 2010, 05:34 AM |

I don't know about recording or playing as a band with the guitar plugged into an amp, because I've never heard it used that way before., But it sounds nice when it's played in a small gathering on it's own. I guess the sound is bright and clear. I don't think it will go well with other instruments and the lower notes are definitely on the weak side. It does however have a very long sustain, and I believe my friend is still using the stock strings.Edit btw just realized it's APX 700 not CPX 700. Both models exist, but they're different.

But I'm kinda a basshead so I'm more into dreadnoughts. But that's just me. Everyone has their very own preference. |

Kyser slider capo, or Jim Dunlop trigger capo? In term of functionality, flexibility, and durability, which one is better? Or just an Alice trigger capo (RM20) will do? |

It's called a partial capo but some people, but honestly, you can just plug an eraser under the capo to hold down just the 3 strings you want. A capo is just a capo, I don't believe in spending 60 on one. If you can find one for 20 that's great.
Just watched this video, what kind of bridge is on this guitar, looks kinda weird. This post has been edited by mumeichan: Dec 31 2010, 09:00 AM |

I was planning to get one as a portable guitar to carry around? thanks ( I was planning to get the taylor's baby, but the price... meh.) Keep in mind that yamaha Guitalele tuning is AECGDA (high to low) which is same as you capo 5th fret of your standard guitar. The treble strings are nylon, while the bass strings are steel. The fretboard width is around the same as acoustic guitar fretboard width. Guitalele is a quarter size guitar, therefore the scale is smaller, fret to fret distance is closer. Was impressed by the sound, considered loud and bright for such a small guitar. On the right side of the pic is my guitalele, left side is my standard size classical guitar. Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(mumeichan @ Dec 31 2010, 02:19 AM) It's called a partial capo but some people, but honestly, you can just plug an eraser under the capo to hold down just the 3 strings you want. A capo is just a capo, I don't believe in spending 60 on one. If you can find one for 20 that's great. That's a great idea.Thanks! Btw guys do you have any recommendation on books/website for me to start learning on reading notes? My knowledge on notes is zero. And I'm kinda cheapskate for classes. |

Hi, anybody knows any software that can convert PDF/scanned files to Guitar Pro tabs, or any other software which can play the music sheet and allow me to listen to it?
That would be very helpful in learning a new piece. |

I suppose from there you can surely find another program to convert to Guitar Pro. But the program is, it doesn't really convert the sheet from the PDF very well. Honestly it's faster if you just learn how to read notes and then manually input them if you absolutely want to hear it on Guitar Pro.That would be very helpful in learning a new piece. |

Hi guys,
My daughter's nail has start breaking- the whole 'crescent' part of the outgrown nail would just peel of once it reaches approx 1.5mm growth. What do Malaysia guitarist do to overcome thin nails. Foreign forums do mention about 'Hard As Hoof' as a good choice, but what i found here is only 'Epi' products which are laden with chemicals. She's starting to pluck with her nails, and it 's frustrating that she can't progress past finger tip plucking. Thanks in advance! |

yeehoo,
Nice to hear from you again. Thanks for the ideas. I did check uot the Epi product. About RM140-60 for a 'Buy 1 Get 1 Free' deal. Did abit more online research and decides that we would try natural products first. Chemicals may be detrimental to her your fingers. So, I have bought a bottle of Onymyrrhe to try. If this fails we would then use press-on nails. Will try and post her progress in due time. Lucidus, LOL! Far from being it. She has short nails has been playing with her finger tips since she started playing 2.5 yrs ago. She started keeping her nails since late last year, keen to play 'properly'. BTW, ABRSM Grade2 in April. Teacher recommended to skip Grade 1.

Lucidus,
Yes, a popular choice of better players. But as I posted earlier, press-on/fake nails is an alternate option, but we'd like to build up the nails naturally first. She is only 11 years old. A hassle to use fake nails and I will also have to contend with school disciplinary requirement. For now, I feel it is wiser to concentrate on getting stronger nails, than confronting the discipline teacher : ) BTW, she is using picks for both her electric and acoustic guitar. |

I see.
Maybe apart from those chemicals that are applied directly onto the nail, you might also wanna observer your daughter's diet. Maybe include/add food that are high in calcium for stronger nails and bone? |

Bently Music - Bad service.
On Tuesday I called up to enquire if they have Ernie Balls 0.9 singles. Someone answered and said they have. Good! (Through experience, this gauge is alwys in demand and stock's are always low) Out of the three times I went, twice I came out empty handed. To be sure, I asked how many are there and he replied, "about 20". Hearing this good news, I quickly ask him if he could reserve two strings for me. Next, my instruction was ''...please leave them on the frontdesk and I will pick them up tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon" He then asked for my name and I duly spelt it over the phone following, I asked for his name and he said "...look for Darren when you reach here". I thought to myself, everything's covered. Easy peasy. Come Wednesday. I went to the front desk and told the attending person (let's call him Young man) that I'm to collect the said strings left by Darren. Young man told me to wait as he simultaneously calls Darren on his handphone. A short conversation ensued on the phone and Youngman turns to me and said, ''sorry we are out or 0.9. Howabout 0.8 or 0.7?' I stared speechless at him. He then proposed, ''We have other brands too". By now, he knows by the look on my face that I am one dissatisfied customer. I then told Youngman, ''You call him and 'F' him. This is unacceptable. He said he has the strings'. Youngman was hesitant, but as I raised my voice and repeated myself, he whips out his h/phone and starts dialling. I didn't stay long enough to see if they talked again. This boy ''DARREN" should think twice about conducting himself as a person, let alone working as a sales person. |

Guys.
I never kept fingernails, always pick with my fingertips. But lately tried 12-strings, and its kinda hard to pick without nails. Hence i opt for fingerpicks, but still quite hard in term of accuracy. The fingertips that i get are all curved at diiferent angles. Should i start growing nails? Or should i getvdecent fingerpicks? |

But seriously I don't understand how people's nails get so dirty... You must learn how to shape it also. Bad shape means shitty sound. Must have the nice curve. Keep on experimenting and fixing the shape to make it more smooth without sharp angles. I use sand paper grade 600 one. RM10 can last years. Very cheap 100 too rough and 1000 too smooth but 1000 still can use la. But problem is steel strings have very high tension, my nails are too weak for .012 strings dam dulan. Luckily I love the sound of nylon. So if your focus is steel string and you play quite high tension and your nails cannot tahan, actually got some pro classical guitar players play with flesh also one, like Tarrega. But no nails cannot play flamenco la that 1 totally out. |

I got nails problem too. I play classical guitar, my nails are very soft, can't get to play loud. I like to play with picks when I play acoustic guitar and electric guitar because it can get the tone that I want. But no choice when playing classical guitar, I can only play with own nails, the sound is very thin because of my soft nails.

Is there anything you can apply to your nail to make it harder?
I mean, you apply it during your play only. Something like lacquer. |

plucking without nails means no projection and thats fine if you are playing for your own enjoyment. for performance it wouldnt work well cos the sound can't cut throught the other instruments if it is too soft.

I still play classical guitar with my soft nails, I think I just need to pluck the strings harder, it should be ok. I'm not going for stage performance. I just play for myself and for my friends. |

Find a friend that can teach you. they'll teach you how to hold and how to get hold of the strumming patterns. for starters, maybe try to learn how to strum a few songs. just a couple of chords will do.
I can't remember what was the first strumming song I learnt, but my first plucking song was Romance d Amour (1st part). do you have friends that plays guitar? it helps to have friends giving guidance. note: i learnt from friends abit abit. then i self learn for 2 years. and now i'm going for formal classes. |

QUOTE(la bella @ Jun 29 2011, 11:39 AM) Does CGS m'sia plan to organize a malaysia classical guitar competition? CGS is more towards on create interest among the students regardless of playing abilities. Guitar Alive is to provide an opportunity for students to perform in an ensemble group in a proper concert hall, with introduction from an emcee. Beside learning how to play the guitar, learning to perform in front of an audiences is also important part of their education. We believe this activities is more benefit to the students than a competition. (beside if a student didn't learn how to perform, how is he/she going to participate in competition?) Guitar Collection cancelled their 2nd malaysia classical guitar competition event this year due to the number and quality of participants failed to meet their expectation. The 1st time they organized the competition in year 2009 was a success, there's many good classical guitarist participating, but this year.. haiz Anyway, if CGS given the resources we wanted, we definitely interest to organize a competition, but unlike Guitar Collection, CGS is not a business entities (which mean we are not as "re$ourceful" as Guitar Collection ). BTW, are you interest in organized your students for an ensemble performance? CGS also having its annual Guitar Festival & Camp 2011 on 9-11 December 2011, the details is not out yet, but the date is fixed, are you interest to send your students to join us? I hope you could join us this year, come and see what we are doing, If you are interested, please PM me . Thank you. |

Cmon now.. We are not suppose to translate names.. I can confuse with that.. Sorry dude, no offense.. Or perhaps old klang road is another place? There is a guitar shop in PJ, near jalan othman, at the back of 7E, why don't you check it out.. The owner is very friendly and maybe you can have more info there.. |

Overall it was ok, just that too many 'Lightly Row' makes me Hi, thanks for your support of the event, how come didn't come out and say hello to me? . I was sitting at the 4rd row on the left, when I listen to the concert, is it just me, I think the volume is a little bit low even there's 10 people playing in a group, maybe the mic put too far from the guitar? This year is a bit unusual, normally we only have 2 groups play the same piece. Our purpose is to give everyone a chance in performing in a proper concert even for beginner, and there are not many beginner ensemble pieces around. Anyway I will take note of what you said here and hope to improve it next years. Hope you can join our camp also. Thanks.
