David Chidsey demonstrates the cross-string trill technique employed by classical guitarists to create a harpsichord effect. This technique helps your trills sound fast and clean and lets the notes ring together in a legato fashion. Very important for performing Baroque music on the guitar.

TEACHERS AND STUDENTS! Now you can get Kent Murdick’s new five volume series, “Learning To Read Music On the Classical Guitar” that goes right along with the Youtube technique videos. This is the direction and music you need to do things right! Buy three or more books and “shipping and handling” is FREE!
Sample pieces can be seen at: http://members.aol.com/lutemann/book1.jpg
Substitute in “2″, “3″ or “4″ to see pieces in other volumes.
Book 1: “The First 30 Days of Instruction”. $5.95 + $1.75 shipping and handling. The student will learn eight notes in the open position on the 3rd, 4th and 2nd stings, and a handful of simple rhythms — all pieces and exercises are played with P stroke only.
Book 2: “The Next 30 Days of Instruction”. $5.95 + $1.75 shipping and handling. Rests, ties, the division of the beat and eight new notes — E, F, G on the 1st string and the open 5th and 6th strings – are covered in this volume. The rest stroke with ‘i’ and ‘m’ is introduced . A few solos are included.
Book 3: ” Bass Notes”. $5.95 + $1.75 shipping and handling. Since reading ledger line notes is difficult for beginning students , I devote a whole volume to learning B and C on the 5th string and F and G on the 6th string. Many solos are included.
Book 4: “Chords”. $5.95 + $1.75 shipping and handling. Reading two and three-note chords and the free stroke are covered in this volume. Many playing styles are covered including ragtime, tango, beguine and the Mexican waltz. An index of first position chords for strumming appears at the end.
Book 5: “Arpeggios”. $9.95 + $1.75 shipping and handling.
Contains pieces based on the most important arpeggio patterns including five tremolo pieces. There is also a complete section on playing ragtime guitar along with first position versions of Leyenda, Recuerdos De La Alhambra, Malaguena and a tremolo version of Romanza. This books brings you right up to the intermediate level.
Supplementary Material which includes CD: “Mel Bay’s Easiest Classical Guitar Solos Book” $14.95 + $1.75 shipping and handling.

Video description: The P free stroke should be as loud as the P rest rest stroke although it will have a different tone quality. It is perhaps the easiest movement to learn with the right hand.
I may have mis-spoken at 1:08 in this video. What I meant to say is that all three P-joints extend together in the extension phase and flex together in flexion phase. The P middle joint doesn’t move much, but it does participate in both phases and is not static. To see all ten lessons, do a search for: classical guitar lessons murdick.

Please download the music notation/tablature at

In this classical guitar lesson, we take a look at some of the common and not so common left hand techniques used in Francisco Tarrega’s “Lagrima”. Please see Part 1 for the Right Hand Lesson.
Some of the concepts covered in the lesson are -
reducing “squeaks” when sliding fingers
left hand preparation
barre technique
effortless shifting
I hope you get some ideas from this lesson for your own playing.

Classical Guitar lesson – Barre Technique
This lesson demonstrates the common problems when using barre chords. I hope it helps those may be struggling with the technique.
You can get a PDF of “3 Exercises for Barre Technique” here -
http://classicalguitarlessons.blogspot.com/2009/02/3-excersizes-for-barre-technique.html
More videos will be added soon. Please subscribe to my channel to be notified of new videos.
Main points to remember when executing barres –
1. keep finger straight and right before the fretwire
2. make sure finger is not “curled” in the middle – this causes buzzing on the inner strings
3. keep elbow behind the barre and use the weight of the arm to press (not just the thumb and fingers)
Best Wishes,
Kevin Gallagher
