To play Classical Guitar no study is complete without the great Spanish Masters, Fernando Sor,
Ferdinando Carrulli, Matteo Carcassi, Mauro Giuliani, Isaac Albeniz, Dionisio Aguado, etc. These
player composers were the founding fathers of the modern era of  Classical Guitar music.
These great artistes all lived in the late 1700's and early 1800's and between them laid down most
of the currently played and recognized Classical Guitar repertoire.
If you learn to play Classical Guitar you are sure to come across these composers very quickly.
Such was their mastery and skill that some of the recognized Great Classical
Composers notably Beethoven and Bach wrote works specifically for the Guitar! Beethoven once
commented "The Guitar is a veritable orchestra unto itself". Fur Elise was written as a classical
guitar piece for his niece who was learning to play.
In The Classical Guitar (Ariel Publications, New York, 1976). Frederick Noad wrote
"Many of the celebrated Vienna composers were familiar with the guitar and played it as an
accompaniment to songs. Both Schubert and Von Weber were players and both published a
number of songs with guitar accompaniment. In The Guitar and Mandolin (Schott, London.
Revised edition 1954), P.J. Bone wrote, "The majority of Schubert's accompaniments were
conceived on the guitar, and only afterwards did he set them for the piano, and many of his early
songs were originally published with guitar. Many of his accompaniments show clearly and
indisputably the influence and character of this instrument; they are in truth guitar
accompaniments.""
The size and portability of the guitar made it a very popular instrument and early versions were
played and were popular as far back as the Elizabethan era and earlier in the UK. It is
hardly surprising therefore that when electricity made the amplified electric guitar a possibility the
instrument began a second career as the instrument of choice for Rock Bands, Country Musicians
and bands in general.
The instrument is plucked with the finger nails of the right hand and the notes are selected with the
fingers of the left hand on the fret board which is usually made of a hard wood such as Rosewood
or Mahogany, the body is made of softer woods to allow for the shaping, The Face Board should
be solid many cheaper instruments will be plywood faced, which can degenerate with time. The
strings will be nylon with the base three (typically) being wound with metal. Some brands of string
wind the G and B strings with finer nylon (Saverez for one), this is to give the string a consistent
width and purer sound for each note, nylon tending to stretch with age and distorting notes due to
the variations in string width.

2. The Classical Guitar is a great choice for your or your child's first instrument since the wider
neck makes it easier to avoid left hand fingers touching the wrong strings, the nylon strings are
also easier on the left hand finger tips than steel strings would be, and finally the classical
guitar is played ergonomically. The position is seated on a square backed chair with the left leg
supported on a foot stool, so that the guitar rests on the left thigh, the inside of the right thigh and
the top back of the body rests on the lower part of the chest. The fret board making
an approximately 45 degree angle to the ground, this leaves the left hand totally free to move up
and down the fretboard, the left hand should play no part in supporting the instrument.
In order for children to learn to play before their fingers are fully developed Classical Guitars are
made in 1/2 (4-8) and 3/4 sixes (9-12) as well as full size. There are copious amounts of guitar
sheet music available on line, and even teaching and lesson systems. The biggest plus of all is if
you learn to play classical guitar you can play any style of guitar music! So why not give it a
try?
