SPANISH GUITAR

Tips for training By Paaras Ruhani

  1. Set aside time to practice before you purchase the guitar. The more you practice the better you become.
  2. I teach how to read music notations ( staff notations) Spanish guitar is all about notes. In order to know where yours fingers need to go.
  3. Grow your fingernails long on your right hand .This is your picking hand. Spanish guitar doesn’t use a pick or plectrum like acoustic & electric guitar.
  4. Move your pick or fingers up & down the neck of guitar & listen to the sound difference in each fret. Due to the increased space between strings there is a wider range of sounds with a Spanish guitar.
  5. The Spanish guitar may be however be played with a plectrum or bow in pop oriented music.
  6. While this guitar is placed on the left leg which is raised with a footstool while the right arm holds the guitar in place. This is for greater mobility & access to the strings & fingerboard.
  7. The fretting hand is a very important aspect of playing the Spanish guitar, as it determines the scale and notations that you are playing. The fretting hand has to perform basically two functions, playing the chords and playing the scales. A chord is basically a group of notes which can be gripped on the fret board of the guitar.
  8. This grip is easy to hold and after a descent amount of practice, you should be able to hold down the strings in the grip in a convenient and comfortable manner. Many people ignore the aspect of practicing the scales once they have mastered the chords. However, it is absolutely necessary to practice the scales along with the chords.
