Whether you’re just beginning guitar, or have been playing for decades but want to rise to new levels in your playing, you’ll find highly detailed tutorials and lessons.
At the root of beautiful playing is a solid technique (aka “the way your hands move”). You can find step-by-step methods, presented in very fine detail, showing exactly how to get great sound, and how to move your fingers. So as you progress, you can continue to improve.

You’ll find some of the deepest-diving explorations of classical guitar and Spanish guitar pieces anywhere online, with step-by-step instructions on how to play guitar beautifully so that the music sings and connects with listeners (any yourself) on an emotional level. Music is not entirely subjective. Some ways of doing things are more effective than others. If you learn these basic “rules”, you’ll automatically play with more grace, beauty, and feeling.
At CGS, you’ll also discover archives of comprehensive articles about many of the issues, details, habits, and best practices surrounding playing guitar. You’ll find tips and tricks on how to be more effective at practicing.

Yesterday after I hooked up my condenser mic and listened to my playing I was horrified to hear it sounding very harsh and tinny. Then i came across your video and after following your advice, I can hear a marked difference in the tone. It’s more mellow and less harsh. Still need to work on it, but now I know what to do. Thanks!!!
Thank you for this, I have just received a new guitar, not cheap, unfortunately, it sounds very tinny, other than changing the strings, what else can I do to the guitar, to make sound warmer? Cheers
Thank you! This helps me to understand making warmer tones. I will try, thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot!
Great tips. When I try to play on top of the string, especially on the third string on fast pieces like tremolo, I have to chang my finger angles, which affects speed and precision. Any tips to resolve this?
Thanks
????????????????
This is so difficult for me to get down im trying to learn adelita but the notes keep coming out to bright/loud and even though i try my best to play the string softer i still get a really bright sounding note
excellent, very helpful again, thanks
Thanks for the tip, often times i forgot to do these techniques on my right hand, my bad is focusing on reading pieces but not applied these tech to lessen my practice hours
this guy is underrated.
What song was he playing in the beginning? The sinister sounding fast one
Thank you, Allen. This video gave me much needed insight on the tone issue I've been grappling with. I especially appreciate your being so accommodating to playing without fingernails since it's not practically feasible for me to maintain them.
Thank you for this great video!!
Very helpful Thanku ????
Awesome tip. This is 2nd video of CGS that's helped me level up. The relaxed joint tip has given me the volume and projection that has eluded me for a long time. Cheers CGS!
I like metal why am I even here
What is that thing on top of your guitar? Also, what is that fast song you played at 5:18?? I want to learn it, that’s awesome!
Hello Allen and thanks for this very missed tutorial. I am just beginning my classical journey and would like to know if you recommend nails from the beginning or flesh only to start out? And if so, when should begin to use nails? Thanks
Isn't called planting? When push the strings.
If I might ask, are you standing while giving this lesson? How are you supporting the guitar?
what's the name of the song at 6:03 ?
what's the name of the piece at 5:42 ?
Thanks! I found this very helpful!
Thanks for the tips. Just can’t do the nails thing. Too much upkeep.
Generally, I like the "soft tip" sound more than the brittle stiff tip joint. Both have their place, but the soft tip is just more pleasant to listen to and not as harsh and biting.
Excellent description with lots of explanation and accompanying illustrations. Well done! I learned a lot.
i'm drunk and won't remember any of this.
Hi Allen love your tuts. There seems to be something wrong with the link to your website – does it still exist?
Great tutorial thank you
nice video
Thanks. Nails have been the bane of learning the classical guitar for me. I have very soft , flexible fingernails that will break easily and growing nails that will last has been impossible for me.
What piece is that arpeggio from at 4:02?
Awesome video
Thanks Allen. Excellent lesson. You're a good teacher.
Thanks so much! My teacher is very talented but I never quite manage to get the specifics behind tone production in such an accurate way. She kinda just says "play softer" or "listen to yourself more", and sometimes it's hard to tell what I'm not doing/doing wrong. This really helped, thanks a lot!
Thanks Allen. I follow you.
