Classical guitar

I would like to learn Classical Guitar, and and am seeking information on the best current makers. Are they all in Spain, or are there guitar builders as good elsewhere. How much should you pay for a very good guitar? My playing interests include Renaissance, Baroque, mainly.

Hello! Thanks for replying.

I'm interested primarily in playing music c. 1500 - 1700. I have some CDs of English and Venetian lute music that I love. I'm also a tremendous fan of Paul Galbraith's JS Bach recordings.

I'd like to find out who are the best Classical guitar makers, and what the cost would be of a good instrument.

Either go to a local music store that sells instruments or go on line.
They can help. What I have is one of those by Estaban and I don't
like mine. I would rather have a classical guitar. They are easy on
the fingers unlike the Estaban.

The flamanco style guitar playing is similar to what you are talking about.
I play it that way on some songs.

I am a beginner

Hey everyone

Ive been playing guitar for four years now, and now I want to learn electric guitar. I'm looking to buy an electric guitar, I just learnt it 2 weeks ago.
this Electric guitar catch my eye, but I don't know wheather it is suitable for a beginner

Can anyone recommend a good brand or model for about $300-$400? Cheers.

hey Charliewill i got my Gibson SG special maybe six or seven years ago for about 900 euros ( must be 1000 dollars, approximately ). i don't know the prices today but that's what a "classic" was worth at the time.

to Corno: yep, flamenco is a hell of a hard thing to master. i met one 30 year-old guy that was into it. spiky fingers and rough attack, strange-looking chords, you know the deal. i play a little acoustic guitar, trying to develop my own thing but i ain't got the discipline and most of all the time to get it. anyway flamenco's not my thing, though i like watching a good player from time to time.

Classical style guitar is similar to flamenco guitar but a bit easier. All it
takes is a little practice. If you can play a tune with a spanish twist
like Bach's Joy of Man's Desire you have it made in the shade. Just learning
the chords can be challenging to learn sometimes. It just takes time
and your playing can happen. As for the right electric guitar, I would
get a Fender Strat. They play like a dream!:cool:

That's the easiest question on the planet! The fingering on the electric
guitar is the same as the acoustic. I have had both and I can tell that.
the only difference is how much easier an electric guitar comparing to
the acoustic to play.

and yet, i would add that some acoustic guitars are easier to play than others because of the nature of the strings or the thickness of the neck. it is generally admitted that holding a chord on metal strings is harder than on nylon strings. anyway Judy's right, an electric guitar is always easier to handle.
