No Way; Really?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Just so you know, online classical guitar lessons don’t actually “sux0r” as much as you would think.<\/p>\n

Here’s a glimpse of some simple ones that should give you ideas of your own for teaching and\/or taking lessons this way:<\/p>\n

Hi ____,
\nHow are things going with that part I of the Boceto?<\/p>\n

Here are several youtubes of people doing a not so good job with it. I thought as long as you’ve already played from the sheet music a few times, you’d be able to work from these without building too many of their bad habits.<\/p>\n

This one’s probably the closest I’ve found to how the Boceto SHOULD be played:<\/p>\n

But that’s just my not so humble opinion. And I only mean relative to the others, I’m afraid.<\/p>\n

And I hope you’re ready for this one!<\/p>\n

Here’s how an orchestra chose to do it:<\/p>\n

Begins very nicely but gets VERY stiff, and then I don’t know what to say about the end. Orchestras tend to do things like this and I lose interest.<\/p>\n

They did manage to keep some of the melody intact though, which amazed me.<\/p>\n

Feel free to ask me any number of questions, and I’ll try to answer everything I can.<\/p>\n

Cheers,
\nmarco<\/p>\n

oh, and ps:<\/p>\n
