STUDENTS TAKE NOTE: This course does not contain actual tablature and songs; instead it is a treasury of drills, exercises, and information on the technically correct way to play Classical Guitar. Most performance problems resolve back to problems in basic fundamental technique. Professor Gregory Norman, Chairman of the Guitar Department at California State University Northridge, continues his elucidation of hand position, resting strokes, free strokes, and thumb/finger alternations. Think of this course as your "Instructor in the Closet" to which you can refer every time you notice problems in your play and performance.
NOTE: Students desiring actual songs and pieces for performance and practice should stay tuned for VideoGuitarLessons.com'S COMPLETE CLASSICAL COURSE, to be unveiled in the near future.
