Here I share a personal view and a summary of my exploration on the role of the left hand in classical guitar performance. Within, I delve into the complexities of the alliance between the hand’s anatomy and the guitar’s design aiming to achieve an artistic goal.

Caracassi, but which etude…Hm…
As a doctor and newbie guitarist.. I’m impressed by the anatomical details
Great job thanks a lot
Jesus Christ, what I have watched! Amazing comprehensive explanation. Loved all the animations too. They were beneficial!
Maybe I haven't watched the video carefully enough and I apologize if that's the case but are you really recommending to crunch up your fingers to reach the first e string? !
Thanks!
Btw his is what a Jorge Caballero masterclass is like
What is the piece you played at the start of the video?
You're a true holographic DaVinci. You should earn an acadamical grade for this work. Thank you so much, I've never seen these principles before in such a clearness. It's a true gem on YouTube.
Thank you .
Finally a video that actually educates the viewer rather than try impressing or gathering favors onto themselves having taught us very very little about anything other than how good they are … ????
Helped me so much because the string kept buzzing
excellent presentation – thank you
Such banger content.Lovely ❤❤
How about some person who have short finger and want to learn a classical guitar ?
The best explaination on the subject ever possible to be produced
As a newbie, I love this video! It answered so many of my questions.
What should support the guitar when the fingers press against the fretboard? I see two options. Either the clamping thumb could provide the source of force in the opposite direction, or the opposite, right arm could press the guitar against the body, which is kept in place by the chest. The former exhausts my hand and seems insufficient to oppose the fingers for sufficiently long time. The latter seems to be more complicated. At 16:36 your thumb appears to be quite relaxed. Do you counter the guitar movement with the right side of your body?
I know that at 5:58 thumb is mentioned to produce a "clamping action that will strengthen the fingers", but should it be the main force of counteracting their force? This topic seems to be especially important in situations where all the fingers press the strings.
What is the piece at the start of the video?
Thank you!
Hi,I have a question,when i do play, i mostly use chords. Thus my thumb is positionedup on the neck (with the tip sticking out). Lately i felt some tension in my palm. I do think that the issue lies into this hight thumb, but i don't know a better to way toperform chords. Any help would be kindly appreciated.
This single video is truly the achievement of a lifetime. I've always wondered about the ideal musculoskeletal geometry involved in efficient and clean guitar playing. I assumed the topic was too complicated for anyone to create a video on it. Turns out it was even more complex than I had thought. Also turns out that someone actually did it. Amazing. Subscribed 30 seconds in.
wich are the name of the songs??
What a video
I'm gonna watch this video later. Meanwhile, may I ask what's the name of the guitar piece in the intro? Thank you!
How to play like shit
Thank you sir, i am now ready to attempt mary had a little lamb
Got a giggle once i saw how in depth it was going
8:00 Although the flexion of an MCP is the greatest when it lays in the fretboard's plane, I rarely see that in other parts of the video. Why? When is moving the MCP away from the plane desired? Is moving it past the fretboard plane ever desired? I suppose this allows avoiding touching neighboring strings and decreases the angle of distal phalanges, and should be only done if necessary. Is that correct?
THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR VIDEOS. Really interesting!
this is like college level stuff, genuinely considering taking notes because i couldn't bare stepping away from this video emptyhanded (no pun intended)
40:04 some one help me with this
Fantastic presentation and exploration of the biomechanics of the left hand! I hope you'll dedicate a short video to the left hand barre!
This feels like a show on discovery
