Yamaha GC41 Handcrafted Classical Guitar with CaseBack and Sides: Solid Honduras Rosewood

 

 

 

The GC Series represents Yamaha's new handcrafted line of classic nylon string acoustic guitars. Our craftsmen's close attention to detail guarantees the best quality. Whether you choose the warm sweet tone of Cedar or the clear rich resonance of Spruce, either top will provide you with outstanding quality. Next to the woods themselves, the bracing of the guitar top is the most critical factor affecting the instrument's final sound. 

Although the basic design is still very close to the original pattern proposed by Torres in the 1880's, refinements and improvements have been made to ensure optimum tone and volume with modern strings and playing techniques. The thickness of the third string in a nylon set tends to limit its movement at the bridge and nut causing it to respond as if it were shorter than the other strings. Yamaha eliminates this common intonation problem with a special offset step cut into the saddle at the third string.

Saverez Traditional trebles are made of rectified nylon which is characterized by a distinctive unpolished finish. This grittiness contributes to a lessening of the high overtones. Because of their texture, the treble strings are unusually controllable with regard to vibrato and stability. The characteristics of their tone make their pitch particularly clear and true. The basses are on the warm and soft side, and their tone is strong overall.
These are my favourite strings for the best sound from my guitar.

Progressive Classical Guitar Method: For Beginner to Intermediate Students [Book 1]

I'd been playing the guitar for about a year on a steel string  acoustic when I decided to start playing classical so I bought a classical nylon guitar along with this method book from progressive. I had other progressive series books and primers, but for the classical guitar this was the best.This book has about a hundred pages or so of quality lessons and excercises.The book is all musical notations and fingerstyle lessons.It doesnt contain any TAB lines.It also contains a fretboard guitar notes diagram and a music glossary at the end of the book.If you have a passion to learn classical guitar this is the book for you.


The arrangement is by J.W.Duarte (slightly modified). I intentionally play the prelude at a little slower tempo. I often feel some players (even on cello) are “running” so fast that the charm of this music is left far behind!
Guitar: Antonio Raya Pardo, Granada 1988

Duration : 0:3:9

    Very well played. I’ve been using this interpretation to learn the piece on my acoustic during the past two weeks. Sounds a little different than the classical but still exquisite. Your video is very helpful and I appreciate the upload.

    @torisand Respect to the comment you’d like to translate, though I don’t agree, it says something like this: “Arpeggio is not very difficult and the bass is always the same. The notes are more complicated”
    As you can see, many people give opinions without a solid knowledge in music… I’m learning classic guitar by myself with the Aaron Shearer’s method. I can see you have a good technique, so I’ve suscribed to your channel to learn something of you.. greetings from Colombia.
