The course consists of primary movement videoswhere I teach the foundational movements that you’ll need in order to master classical guitar. These videos cover topics such as free-stroke, rest-stroke, arpeggios, alternation, scales, hand coordination, slurs, and shifts. Secondaryvideos demonstrate how to apply the techniques and movements in various ways to help you engrain them into your own practice. Stringing the secondary videos into a sequence will teach you how to form an effective practice routine that will maximize your results and get you closer to your musical goals.

Six String Journal Editions
The editions below have been very carefully edited with the advancing classical guitar student in mind. Both left-hand and right-hand fingerings have been annotated with careful consideration for the efficiency of technique and musicality. I have many more editions coming soon but here are some of my transcriptions and editions. All of them are available for download via payhip.
I’ve reduced the typical 6 page edition to a two page reduction. I love working from these types of scores so much that I’ll often rewrite music into these formats. Fingerings included.
