Hi Gang,

I know we are starting to inundate you with new material so I almost hesitate to put this out now, but I have had many requests over a very long time to finish a lesson on the classical guitar standard Romanza. This is a piece that I like all my students to learn at one time or another. It has a simple arpeggio going on in the right hand but some complicated concepts and techniques for the left.

There are many arrangements out there and this one is basically the one I grew up with in the book World's Favorite Series (#43, I think), where it is called Spanish Ballad. It is now up for our TARGET members in the Guitar Instrumentals section, along with the old stuff, Classical Gas and Embryonic Journey.

Check it out when you can and I hope you like it,

Neil

Neil,

Checked out the lesson and it looks great. I think I'm going to give this one a try (I've never played classical before). Just wondering, is the TAB for it coming soon?

Great lesson, I really the segment about adding emotion to the song. I also like the emphasizing of the order of played finger.

Very good Neil

Marc

I agree Marc. The segment on "Adding Emotion" is excellent. The info also transfers to many other songs in the program. Great song and great lesson. Thanks

Hey, no fair. Bach's Bouree in Em was the Classical piece you started me out on!

OUCH Greg. I don't even know why it was so hard for me, but I struggled with "Bouree" for weeks and weeks. "Air On A G String" was another that was difficult for me to learn. Bach is not kind to guitar players! :S
