Any of you all into classical music?
This category of music seems to have fadded away from the modern guitar society..
Most of them are into bass, electric, acoustics..

I think classical musicians are a bunch of rare breed.
I must say it's really hard to master them...Accurate fingering is a must.

Songs like:
Romance De' Amour (popular)
Cavatina/Deer Hunter
Moonlight Sonata
Gypsy Rondo

Gears?
Me? I personally have a Yamaha C-310 bought over 6 years ago..it was my first budget guitar, and now? it sound nicer then those handmade about the price of rm1k

i can't play classical songs at all... the fingerings too complex. but i LOVE watching people play classical guitar! very soothing... malays call it syahdu.

well, im actually at grade 6 (yamaha grade), got a RM2k classical guitar with cedar top and forgot what was the bottom, mahogany fret......planning to sell it actually, dont really ahve time to play it anymore.l. my counbro is at grade 4/3 thougb

Hi tumpang thread,

I also like classical or more plucking oriented playing
I'm novice level , din take lessons/ dunno how to read notes , only tabs
Just interested to know whether anyone uses any guitar tablature software to help u learn better

currently using guitar pro 4 , mainly because u can find downloadable songs in that format online

heard of others like tabledit, bucket o tab etc..

thx

Waaa..u actually take Lessons?!
And thats a damn blardy good guitar...how many years has it been?
The only lesson i take was 3 months...just to get me familirized with the fingering as I was a ex-piano grad
But after playing guitar, when revert back to piano, the touch is no more there..
Fingers harden d..

Well, If u like classical songs, I would advise you to learn how to Read the notes. Coz classical songs very rarely they have it on Tab's...i think...

Not all songs You can get hold of the tab.. some u might need to buy the books..

i m still using my dam old classical guitar (yamaha c -30 ) dunnoe anyone heard it b4 or not ...lol..

Not exactly a classical musician here, but I started off guitar by playing on acoustic and classical. My dad had a classical (still has it) but ever since I changed one of the strings, I couldn't get it back in-tune. Pretty sad, cause I enjoy playing classical stuff.

I have some classical tabs here, some classical & some modern, anybody wants them?? (Will add them to the scanlist, pretty busy these days)

It's great to see some talented classical guitarists here.

classical guitar never drop price 1 ler, unless the condition is horrible and is one of the chapalang guitar. i dun have any pictures now, remember where am i? and where my guitar is located?

Hmm..wat songs ya have?
I have very limited songs...most of em from tabs.
Cant get it back in tune? Wierd?
The tuning pegs wrecked? or is the string not good?
Shudnt be un-tunable

@ccy1898:
Old guitars are good...The sound is really really sweet...
My C310 sounds on par with my frens Handmade.

The problem is, I can't even turn the pegs!! It happened sometime ago & I didn't bother much about it as I wasn't interested in playing classical.
I think I'm gonna fix it soon, any advice??

Hmmm I have Romande D Armour (Pt1 & 2), one of Bach's Cello Suite & some classical rendition of modern hits. (Comes with the magazineslar lol)

Ohh..ur pegs are gone..

Remove all your strings, go to the shop and buy 1 pair of tuning pegs... Then if u need change string.. Think it wl be about less than rm20 to fix those.

Romance i oso got..quite hard to master...cant be perfect yet..

my collection of songs can almost last u a life time to master all of them a few boxes of them......they are all free from my sensei though i belive my cousin bro has much more than me.

Fuah...so much ar?!

Alamak,
If u love jazz/blue guitar, try goin to
Tommy Emmanuel

Take a peek at his song samples... Damn keng
Its a 1 man show that sounds like 2 guitars

Classical music is very damn hard to play!
I wish i could.

Yes bro. Like u...i don't read notes and don't take formal lessons. I'm playin an acoustic guitar but often try out classical and plucking stuffs on my acoustic. I've tried guitar pro 4 too but i would recommend PowerTab. (www.powertabs.net) Its more convenient IMO, and there are superb tabs that u would love to death.

unfortunately i dont like playing music, jazz and blue is another genre, although they use the same kind of guitar, there is another playing style. playing something that sounds like2 guitar, appegio? one of the not-so-easy skill to master....but tremolo is still the hardest for me

i play classical only ler, a small variation of pop song, and sometimes borrow my friend's electric guitar to play around...but these are all history already

it's not that straight forward, there are alot of tricks that u can only learn if u have someone else lecturing you. it takes time for your fingers to build up the strength and tone control.

Yeah, I think I'ill do that soon. Might even mount a piezo pickup into it for recording. How much do these pickups cost normally?

I learn Eric Clapton's classical gas through Guitar Pro 4 hehe.

The only 2 classical songs i know how to play are Rmance de Amor (duh who doesnt knwo how to play this?) and Eric's Classical Gas.. I still prefer electrical though
