Classical Guitar Technique

by Jay Skyler

The Classical Guitar Technique aka Classic Guitar Techniqueis the preferred method for playing nylon string acoustic guitars (i.e. the Spanish or Classical guitar) which have wider, flatter necks and wider string spacing than a steel string electric or acoustic. It is the accepted technique for classical music. The thumb remains behind the neck with a consistent relationship to the second (middle) finger. Strings are sounded with the fingernails of the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers of the right hand.
