???? Chocolatee sound wtf????
Thank you very much for this greatvinformative video.
I have preferred cheaper classical guitars over the years, depending on my skill level. I find expensive models to be a lot more sensitive to finger picking pressure and you need a lot more skill to control the volume of individual notes or strings. Cheaper models having a less sensitive build are a lot more forgiving of inconsistent finger picking pressure. You can get away with more mistakes.
Youtube didn't exist when I went to buy my first guitar. My mother and I went to the store and got the cheapest one we could find haha. It was the Samick C1 and it only cost about $85
What about nut width? 48, 50 or 52?
“Siccas” should be pronounced “sick-ass”, as in, “Dude, that is a sick ass guitar.”
C40M buzzs if plucking the 4, 5, 6th fairy strong.
Thanks Brandon, I enjoyed your Video and very helpful it is.
can you play classical guitar on a steel string? id love to learn but im not sure i can make the change to a nylon without knowing ill love it ????
Thank you for your clear-cut explanations???????? it really helped
My first classical is a bartolex 101/C by Neris Gonzales. It has a solid cedar top with mahogany b/s. I really love the sound of it but I kinda want the milagro series now lol.
Wasn't sure if you were still talking about guitars there at the end ????
If laminated tops are so bad, why does EVERYONE recommend the Yamaha C40? I've even seen laminated recommended purely for its durability and resilience under humidity changes.
This guy knows his stuff. He is, by the way, a masterful guitarist himself.
what is the name of the song in the background?
Every time I watched one of your videos, I learn something new, or it corrects what I learned in the past. In other words, it is always a positive, progressive learning experience. Thank you for doing these videos.
I got my classical guitar for $40, in 2200pesos Phil money. And it is solid top. Maybe the people in the phil doesnt know the true Value of the classical guitar, speacially Japan surplus guitara which is expensive but it cost super cheap in thw Philippines because maybe they dont know the orig price.
is
Godin La Patrie Etude QIT Nylon Acoustic-Electric Guitar good guitar?
What a great educational video. In the not too distant future I plan on buying a classical guitar.
I also noticed the Cedar guitar sounded more mellow. I am actually planning to sell all my electric guitars including my only acoustic steel string guitar and invest in a good over £250 classical guitar.
Hi, I stumbled on a few of your videos lately and today after listening to this one I want to ask you a question about my guitare. I bought my guitare about 45 years ago and I started and stopped playing pretty much all of my life, being a self-taught I would often get discouraged and stop. My guitare was quite espensive in those years and lately I have really started playing, at least 4 hours a day and more. I really enjoy the sound of my guitare which is quite beaten up throughout the years… having been damaged during a robbery and a luthier was paid to repair it by my insurance and then moving to Cuba a very humid environment… I came back home to Canada with the bridge having come off… another trip to the luthier and it was repaired. After playing so much for the past month, I realize how beautiful the sound is but even though you mention in this video that nicks and scratches are not to worry about, my soundboard has quite a bit of "character"… it is not cracked but it has a lot of crackling… just very fine dark lines which are not opened up. There are even some tiny spots where the finish has removed itself. I had always wondered if it was necessary or would be recommended to have the soundboard redone (finish wise). When I had it repaired 5 years ago he told me not to worry about it but I don't think that it was a bad. I guess, now that it's been 45 years of it just waiting by my side I am finally paying attention to it! What do you think is the best way of my answering to its needs? How should we care for it? I hope nobody hangs me for saying this, but once in awhile I would clean it and polish it with some natural bees wax…? Thank you for the quality videos that you share with this community.
What do you think about vangoa guitars?
What would you suggest for a cheap but good quality acoustic cutaway guitar? Anyone have any ideas? I need some tips if you want to give em! Thanks.
Can you tell whats the problem.I have a newly bought vintage shirukaba classical guitar,very good condition. But I am not satisfied by its sound not enough treble or maybe crunch unlike my slim type classical guitar. That sound good.both 2 guitars are laminated and plastic nut and saddle as of now and generic strings. But for the vintage im not sure if its plastic.can you help me tell the problem.
I've always loved a cedar top sound

I can tell he definitely likes the dark chocolatey one more ????❤
Upgraded 2016 from a very cheap Yamaha to a Kremona Romida, all solid, spruce top, Bulgarian brand. Think I payed around 600 Euros for it. Fantastic guitar considering the price. The sound made a huge difference in how fun it was to play. Also the guitar was setup well I think. Haven't made any alterations. If that guitar still is sold at a cheap price I would recommend it. Don't have any affiliations with Kremona so just a happy customer wanting to share.
thanks for the tips! I'm looking at my first classic, below 1k. What do you think of Alhambra guitars, conservatory range?
Another one I spotted is the Manuel Rodriguez Magistral.
Are they reasonably worth in the 600-800 euro range?
Its really helpful ❤❤❤????????????????????????????????????
Is a corboda 600$ guitar a good start
I have a doubt about my current guitar, it was a gift from my parents and I'm kinda new to this whole thing, mine is a "vogga vca 201 na" I don't know if it is sold outside of Brazil, all video I saw where from here, anyways, the guitar uses steel strings and it is refered as "classical acoustic", the thing I'm kinda stranged out, is the fact that it does not have 21 frets, it has 19 frets just like a classical guitar, in the website it says the guitar is indeed made to use steel strings, but the fact that it is almost built like a nylon guitar weird me out, can someone explain it to me?
Just got my first classical. It sure aint pretty, but makes up for it in sound. Velencia vc404. My daughter wants a lute. Where would i start for an inexpensive intro that plays well?
What is the size of the guitar that you're holding now, sir?
im lucky i can buy hand made guitars here in México. Paracho is not so far so I bought my 2 cheap luthier guitars there.. solid spruce top and custom roseta and abulón incrustation. It sound so much better than Yamaha I had
the cedar and spruce top sound has definitely caught the mic because we can hear properly the difference and its such a big one too thank you for making this video. i am a intermediate classical player and need a classical guitar so i came to your channel . very informative and easy too understand explanation. you arnt just a virtuoso but a great explainer i guess ????????. thanks for this video really helped me narrow down my options.
