Scando says "Hi there, I am working through a classical guitar book and have come across some annotation I don't quite understand. C.2 --- C.9 --- C.2 --- C.1 --- C.7.

Aquiguillermo asks, "Have been following you fo some time. I have enjoyed very much your lessons. I´ve been teaching myself with the help of self access methods. At this moment i feel a bit confused as to how to continue. I used to have more time to practice. Now i will only have about 3 to 4 hours to study. How would you advise to design my study plan to make the most of this time? I think i need speed and precision and strength in my left hand to barr... I usually practise in my La Valenciana accoustic and my Les Paul epiphone electric and my Roland. Thanks in advance for your kind reply. Guillermo México" View Response
Learning on Acoustic or Electric - August 28th, 2008 (3 minutes, 30 seconds)
Lucasholland asks "Hey guys, after realizing that my first, classical guitar is a piece of ***** when it comes to quality, adjustability and ease of play, I've decided to stick with playing the guitar and investing some more money. I've only been playing for about a week, so I'd consider myself almost a complete beginner. I've heard a lot of people say that one should start out on an acoustic guitar because it's easier to switch to an electric later than vice versa. My guitar hero is John Mayer and I'd eventually like to be able to play both acoustic and electric guitar, like him. My question is: Is it wise to start out on an electric or should I learn to play the acoustic guitar first? Thanks! Lucas." View Response
