I hesitate between the Saers A90 and the AH80 (Hauser copy). What do you recommand. I Play classical repertoire from renaissance to modern. Great playing it is beautiful ! Dorian from Paris.

I'm increasingly warming to the idea of this "Le Support" after watching both of Bradford's reviews. One thing that looks appealing to me is that, unlike the "Guitarlift", this support still allows the guitar to contact the player's body. For me, it's important to feel the instrument vibrating against my chest. Although a bit on the pricy side (a long-term investment), I think there is a "Nocturnal Gloss" model in my future. 🤗

16:00 I think I'm going to wait for the full 5 point racing harness. 🤣

Can I use this position even I'm playing steel stringed acoustic guitar?

i can't do one thing with one hand and other with another at the same time on guitar, nothing can help.

Great video quality, well done.

I particularly love the 2nd Pavane-and you play it exquisitely! (I just listened on UA-cam to several other versions, and to my ear, yours captures better than any others something almost heart-breaking about that piece-and the other five as well!)

The only thing I would prefer is a smaller nut width, playability is really important.

Use a candle

I will never understand why John Downland is not much popular in the classical music world..

I learned this from Renato Bellucci. He uses a soldering iron. I use a spoon under the nail and heat the top of the nail with a soldering iron. Obviously, I'm very careful not to overheat the nail. Also, I pinch the sides with a reshaped clothespin to set the c-curve. The c-curve is very important for proper, overall shape, and strength. The best shape is like that of an AlaskaPik.

pov: you try to justify your high consumption of some illegal substance

Before watching your great video on fingernails, I had the devil's own time trying not to have them break frequently. I thought I had tried everything, but you commented that it's important to keep the nails from getting dry and brittle, that moisturizing them is essential. I took your suggestion to heart and since then, 2+ years ago, not one failure. Throughout the day I lightly dip the tips in Burt's Bees hand salve, a mix of wax and oil. They are long and incredibly strong, holding up during active use as a wood craftsman and tree worker. My wife thinks they're scary! My "m" nail has the downward hook that your "i" does, and I'll try this method to improve its shape. Thanks for all your great knowledge and instruction.

I prefer an open campfire and a hot branding iron. Of course, I do have to take a shot of rye whisky a grasp a piece of wood between my teeth before beginning. (Haaa... Just kidding! 😅🤣😂)

Speaking of Micheal..-->Gallery of Guitar is his FREAKING AWESOMENESS channel. Please check out his stuff, classical guitar wonderland! I strongly recommend and encourage finding a nail salon that uses Tammy Taylor nails system if you want to try fake nails. Perfectly shaped, i don't have to worry about breaking them, and after 2 fills, my natural nail fills out under it and the tone is indistinguishable

Started hooking on my I first now my M. Much appreciated

This is excellent. Thank you. I have used women's artificial toe-nails (Kiss brand) for about 20 years now. I just cut my real nails short, cut and shape the artificial nails, then superglue them on. It has worked well for me. I kept messing up and breaking my natural nails doing general home maintenance, yard work, and repair work on things like cars, lawnmowers, bicycles. They normally last up to a week or so, but I occasionally damage one or it gets too short from filing and I have to replace it.

burning white stuff on a spoon...oh oh

I have a similar bend in my m finger nail. Might try next time with a heated object. It is only keratin (hair) after all. Cooking hot.

Great! Will test tomorrow. I have the same nail shape on all nails. I am fine with that, but i can't play apoyando with this hawk claws like nail shape. Maybe this is a solution.

I think the nylon short scale is fine, but in steel it is tense and harder to play.

Maybe try a hair dryer? Some have an attachment to concentrate the flow of air. You might find a support/form to put under the nail, then heat it with the drier and let it cool. Nails are similar to hair. Why not?

Interesting. I'd never heard of this. I no longer play classical but I use nails on steel strings. My index finger is very similar to yours.

I have hooked nails on all IMA fingers and have tried the spoon (without the protection) and chickened out, but I am able to straighten them with some judicious tooth bending. This has the added advantage of preventing folks from borrowing my guitar.

Glory to you! 😊

Just don't let anyone find your burned spoon, they are liable to get ideas. Choose life!

Omg just the video I needed, I didn't even know it was possible, I've been desperate about my middle fingernail that bends so badly... Will try this right away (and I'll sure hold you responsible if I burn myself). Thank you very much !

Can't you use a "protector" which is not metal and heat conductive? A piece of wood or card, for example?

Playing with nails seems like a lot of maintenance. Have you ever tried cutting your nails short and playing with just the flesh?

Thanks for watching. Here's my full lesson and McAllister's vid as well: www.thisisclassicalguitar.com/shape-nail-hot-spoon/ Enjoying my channel, visit my support page: www.thisisclassicalguitar.com/donate-support/

2nd part was hardest for me ..but I also get buzzing on the third part...

I wish these lessons had better instruction as far as playing it goes. A slowed down bar to bar demonstration. I’m just frustrated with this piece right now. I’ll get it eventually but I am having a hard time with it. But this lesson is really good overall though. I ain’t hatin’

Bradford, Merci! I am using this etude to get prepared for Sor's Etude Op. 6, No. 11. Your lesson is very helpful and clearly demonstrated!

Thanks for the in-depth review! Have you had a chance to compare it to the DPA 4900? I just got one and love the sound and was wondering if this wireless system comes close to the quality of the DPA. Thanks!

Beautiful! Mysterious, even a little haunting in sections, it tells a story.

@thisisclassicalguitar Thank you for the review. And thank you for all your high quality videos on your channel. 🙏🏼 Looking for a high quality amplifier at the moment. The main thing that I’m doubting about this one is the power of the amp and the size of the speakers. Quality of the amplified sound is the main spec for me. I’m looking for an amp that can reproduce a full, defined and both clear and warm tone in venues of about 100 people. This one seems a little too small for this. What is your opinion (and experience) about this ? As a comparison: I’ve also seen amps like the H&K ERA1 and 2, or something very different like a line array (like for instance the EV Evolve 30M). Would love to hear your opinion on these amps ? Or maybe you could do a video about these ? Another question: Almost all amp reviews I’ve seen on UA-cam are performed in a small room. Is it possible that you can also do reviews in bigger venues, or maybe even outdoors ? That would be a great addition ! Thank you in advance for your reply and keep on the great work !

so beautiiful!!!!

Tengo que poner los subtítulos para poder entender las lecciones pero que excelente manera de enseñar.

Muchísimas gracias por darnos todos los detalles al enseñarnos, eres él mejor maestro de la guitarra clásica.

Thank you🌹

Carcassi is timeless and such a contributor to the guitarist repertoire. Thank you!

Great! Thank you Bradford.

what is rebarto

When I try to use the Cling Vynal with a GuitarLift the vynal just slips off the back of the guitar. Am I doing something wrong?

When you are sight reading are you thinking the note name while you are thinking of melody/accompaniment and finding? When I do that I feel like saying the note name slows me down idk if that’s a good thing or not.

I just want to do street interviews straight to Facebook LIVE. I understand this would work. A little bulky but ...

I've just bought a cheap clip-on CP-60G, but it acts pretty wierd - it picks up anything that happens with the instrument much louder than the music itself. Like I breathe and my clothes touch the guitar - and it picks this up REALLY loud. Or fingers touching the fret board or guitar body in any place - these sound like drums. Or when I pick strings - the sound of picking is extremely loud. But the music itself - is much softer :) So to play it you really need to sit still, don't breathe, very accurately pick the strings and don't touch anything you don't want to touch. I wonder if this one is similar?

Thank you so much. So far your method book has been great for learning and I already bought the second book. I've had problems playing a single string with my thumb without touching the other strings and muting them, I already watched the right hand technique lesson but I can't see exactly if I'm doing something wrong or if it's just a matter of practice. What are your recomendations? Thanks again!
