I learned the cowboy chords set as my first ever chords to play (Em, E, A, Am, C, D, F, G). It was a struggle back then for me to do G, C, and F but after months of daily practice, I can now play Bar Chords. And now im exploring other chords that you would usually play on 3 to 1 fret.

Hi Brad - I’ve followed you for awhile now. As a Beginner, I find this particular lesson very very helpful. Your Conversational delivery of the Instructions is very Comforting - you paced yourself well and and I feel not being rushed through, at all. Very Clear, Concise, and Attention to Details are Excellent! Thank you, sincerely.

Hello Bradford... This new free Vol. 1 pdf is wonderfully revised from the 2015 version and these integrated video lessons to Vol. 1 is an amazing start for us beginners. I am a 66 year old beginner and am very grateful for your skill in teaching. Though I am older to start this serious journey, you inspire to ALL ages and skill levels. Wishing you great success. Ro

Good evening Bradford, thank you - I have only started learning to play guitar and am in my 60's. Your book Classical Guitar Volume 1 and the instructive video lessons are clear concise and so encouraging. Thank you - I have watched all the first lesson through and now back to practice. I was not 100% sure of what style I wanted to play but have fallen in love with listening and watching pieces by Alexandra Whittingham which led me to feel classical was what I really do want to learn to play in my heart and I will continue to work my way through Volume 1 with your help. I also have signed up for the newsletter and Facebook and Instragram. If only I had known about you years ago, I may have had the courage to pick up a guitar to learn earlier. Thank you.

Bradford, goes without saying, but gonna say it anyway; your online lessons are awesome. I have been playing for quite a while and I find these simple "basic" lessons a great way to do warm-ups for both hands prior to getting down to business. I will even pick a scale and use them for warm-ups. I love the way you present a session and explain the reasoning in the way to approach playing and of course learning.

Muchas gracias Señor Werner, compre su libro CGM V1 y empece a estudiar guitarra clasica con usted.

I started learning this 45 years ago and stopped, until now. So, I'll be looking for a classical guitar pretty soon, to go with my acoustic metal string. When my fingers get sore, then I can practice classical. If a string breaks on one, I can play the other until the new strings arrive.

Very useful, thank you teacher Bradford

[whenmyguitar]

Thank you very much! I have your first book . Years of Músic, but basic is so important.

[resatbora]

thank you for all. i started your course. i wanna ask how many times should i practice one page of your vol 1 book ?

[Haalandshow]

in what bpm should we do these lessons, or should we just follow our counting like you are doing? (In your method book (part1) I also don't see any bpm references...) thanks for the great content I really appreciate it!!

Am I just reading the notes wrong for Etude No. 2 Arpeggios? The music on my tablet shows it starting with a B quarter note, But the video lessons starts off with a G quarter note.
