Which one of these 10 mistakes have you made?
❤❤
Useful tips, thank you!
Thankyou, I wish you were my teacher
Guitar Cody. Just kind of picked up the guitar. Your videos are terrific.
Are there any considerations with regard to nail less classical guitar playing?
Classical musicians are so weird about tension and posture. As someone who has played guitar for many years I feel like these things don't matter that much at all. If I can play something well enough I can play it laying on the floor drunk and half asleep. I've never played a wrong note and thought it was because of tension or posture. Granted playing with good posture and while feeling relaxed is easier but if you are playing for many hours your posture is going to suffer and your muscles will get tense.
It all helps from you…thank you!!!❤
Posture for sure, and pressing too hard in some cases, especially difficult measures. But I am gifted with patience, as my maitre says. I love to practice even the same transition over and over again, so that compensates for the others.
I have seen many related videos but none of them convinced me to follow the instructions. You did it, i saw this videos very carefully many times and i realized that i was guilty for all 10 issues. I was playing very good before something destroyed my technique and i couldnt realize the reasons for that. Happened gradually i suppose. Now i have found my old good playing again. Big thank for that, keep up the excellent job.
Wow that was amazing
Absolutely spot on,thanks. Subscribed for more.

please react to devi deuta by tribal rain i think you will like it
Great explanation/teacher/thought out beginners needs!!
Thank you, all were very good reminders. Good habits are so important!
In order to avoid a foot stool I sometimes rest my guitar against my writing desk with a piece of cloth on it like a hat.
Thank you so much ????
Posture is very important. I have ended up seeing a Chiropractor due to using a foot stool.
Excellent and essential tips for beginners. I have been playing for many years and had to discover these things for myself the hard way . No Youtube back then!.
Mistake #11: Not having fun.
Moment s of transition are moments of relaxation!
I must write that down in my journal!!
i dont play with a stool , just put the guitar on your right leg, its more easy for your balance
What wonderfully thought out explanations, showing not only how to play correctly but pointing out the reasons why. Makes it less abstract.
Could I please get advice on “bouncing” the right hand/plucking and moving the hand out from the sound hole? I see advanced players doing this flourish so often on loud chords, not pushing through the strings. Is “bouncing” acceptable to do for a specific tone color even though it’s “poor” technique?
I guess I would have to say all of them.
This is excellent. I would just add ( and I’ve been guilty of this forever) is trying to play pieces that are above your level. Classical guitar needs to be graded very carefully to avoid frustration and burn out and trying to play repertoire that is advanced is a quick way to feel overwhelmed and want to quit. Funny thing is that after playing advanced pieces ( or trying to anyway) you start to realized just how beautiful some of the “ easier” pieces are.
get a decent guitar not that junk
I keep seeing classical youtubers giving the advice to "have good posture" but then never say what it affects. Also, what is good posture? This isn't a one-size fits all answer.
I have an issue with flat fingered playing because I come from shredding. Selective muting is really important there.
My three biggest issues: Keeping the time, practising slowly and releasing the tension in both of my hands. I know that slow practice is the most effective, but it feels very "unnatural" to me.
I've started my guitar journey on a steel string acoustic guitar years ago and on the classical guitar I still find myself applying a lot of tension and force in my left hand (I'm a left handed player, so the right hand is my fretting hand).
A problem that I also faced is that I accidently hit other unwanted strings sometimes, but it got a lot better recently.
Cody…BRAVO…this was such a great and humbling video to watch man…I appreciate you naming some of these items that literally took me over a decade to realize on my own ???? (not to say they weren’t taught to me, I was just so stubborn). Also gave me new insights.
what do you think of Paul Gabraiths setup and how he plays? also how do you play tough chords i.e. not clamp down in pieces like BWV 1006a or other tough ones. is it the weight fo the arm or is it also some thumb pressure?
