Thanks Anton. My other guitar is a Yamaha too - my steel string - a FG413S - 2002 vintage.

Thanks Kevin! During your 4-6 hours of practice a day I'm sure you could change your hand position if you really wanted to. You're not that much older than me you know. I'm not saying that it would be easy, nor that I think you need to. You know that I looooovve your playing just as it is. Thanks again. M.

I just came back and watched this again. It's been a while now and I'm sure you can play it much better, but for just starting on a classical, you did a really good job in this video.

Now that you've had some time to work on it, I'd love to see an update.

THanks Andy! I haven't played it for ages so need to get it back into shape. However, now that I'm playing my classical again I might just do that.

Michele - This was really beautiful. You do have the most graceful hands. You will be very accomplished at that classical guitar with those long fingers. Thanks so much for sharing. Izzy

THanks Izzy. Yes it does appear that I'm gifted in the long fingers department. Still my total reach is smaller than most men's I would imagine since I obviously have women sized hands. I assume that it is easier for men to make many of those big stretches. Practice, Practice, practice will develop it further though I assume. Have you found that your reach has improved noticeably over time?
