Guitar lesson: How To Improvise The Classical Guitar Way
When I was a fifteen years old guitarist playing rock solos and classical guitar pieces I remember that I had a desire to be able to improvise on my guitar in a classical manner.
Nowadays I have developed this skill and I love to improvise in the style of composers like Sor, Tarrega, Paganini or others or just trying to find myself somewhere among the notes. These special moments are a form of meditation. They clear my mind and also helps me as a composer to stimulate my creative abilities.
The most important reason for learning classical guitar improvisation is that it’s fun!
If you learn classical guitar improvisation it will benefit you in many other ways too:
1. It will be easier for you to memorize classical guitar sheet music.
2. You will find it easier to compose your own guitar pieces in a classical guitar style.
3. You can make up your own techniqal exercises on your guitar on the go.
4. You will understand your guitar better.
There are many ways to develop classical guitar improvisation. How?
You can start with major scales, experimenting with easy chords, or easy classical guitar pieces. The most basic requisite is that you want to learn this art and with this desire you will find ways to practice classical guitar improvisation in all your guitar playing.
I will just mention using classical guitar pieces in this article. But how do you begin?
May I suggest that you begin with an easy melody with just one voice or maybe a two voice piece with bass notes on open strings. Learn a couple of bars by heart and play the melody over and over again and try to change the melody slightly without losing the classical touch.
The ultimate exercise is to use advanced classical guitar solos.
If you think about it you will realize that classical guitar pieces are filled with wonderful licks, more or less complicated.
These licks can be developed and added upon to give you material that will help you developing your improvisational skills.
For example, take a two bar passage in a classical guitar piece that you like and practice it until you master it and then memorize it.
Now you can play around with the passage, break it down, change it, analyze it and so on. If you want to improve as an improvisational guitarist and musician you can regard classical guitar pieces as collections of very musical licks just waiting to be used.
I hope these hints will motivate you to reap the benefits from improvising the classical guitar way.

If Guitar Is Your Biggest Dream….
If you dream of taking up a guitar in your hands, you need to learn some basics of playing a guitar. It’s a difficult phase as you would rather wish to play beautiful songs as soon as you get your hands onto the guitar. After all, with all of the MTV influence out there, one would wish to become a rock star. But to learn a guitar, you have to learn the basics of playing it. Learning the basics will take some time and if you take a bit more of the time then this is an indication of you to become a better guitarist later on. After all, every famous guitarist would have learnt the basics of playing the guitar at some point in time.
Learning the guitar basics involves different things including the scales, the fingering etc but the most important thing is the need to learn all of the different parts of the guitar. Firstly you need to understand the composition of guitar body. The guitar body is the large wooden part of the guitar. The body of a guitar is connected by a thin part called the neck. Near the hole of the guitar body, the bridge is located. The strings of the guitar begin at the bridge and end at the pegs, which is located on the head of the guitar.
There are small metal pieces called the frets that are located at various intervals along the neck of the guitar. As soon as the player presses the strings into the frets at various intervals, the strings vibrate and produce different pitches. The other thing you need to learn as the guitar basics is how to hold a guitar. If you are right handed, then your right hand would be used on the body of the guitar and your left hand will hold the neck of the guitar. So you will use your left hand to hold the neck and press the strings into the frets at different intervals while you will use your right hand for strumming. And if you are left handed, then you will reverse the position described for the right handed person.
It is important to understand that spending more time on learning the basics will produce the better guitarist out of you. That is the key that will make you achieve success rather than failure. You got to walk before you can run…
