Tuning
It is essential to get your guitar in tune so the pieces you play sound musical. You can train you
ear to hear slight differences in pitch with practice. Start by hearing a reference tone and then
compare that tone to certain pitch on your guitar (open string or fret). If the guitar string is sharp
(higher) or at (lower) than the given reference pitch, you adjust it to match. This whole process
will rene your hearing and you will begin the basics of ear training.
In the beginning stages you can use various aids in order to get you in tune.
1. Matching pitches. Tuning your open strings to another instrument such as a piano, another
guitar, or a recording.
2. Fifth fret tuning. Tuning the guitar to itself (starting with a tuning fork, or a metronome, to get
you up to concert pitch = A 440).
3. Tuning to an electronic tuner
Matching Pitches
Using a piano's 12th white key from the lowest note (left end of the keyboard), match the 6th
open string to the "E" note. Then match the remaining ve strings to the equivalent key marked
below:
Five Fret Tuning (tuning the guitar to itself)
This method involves nding notes of the same pitch on different strings and then comparing the
two. The most common pattern is below:
6th string 5th fret = 5th open string
5th string 5th fret = 4th open string
4th string 5th fret = 3rd open string
3rd string 4th fret = 2nd open string
2nd string 5th fret = 1st open string

Electronic Tuner
Electronic tuners make tuning your guitar very easy. They indicate the exact pitch of each string
while telling you (with an led display) if your guitar string is sharp, at, or right on pitch. There is
either a microphone built into the tuner the detects the vibration of air that your guitar string is
producing or a motion sensor that feels the beats per second the moving string is putting out
along the guitar neck.


Tuning by Octaves and Unisons
Play the 7th fret E on the 5th string
Tune the open 6th string to this note (one octave down).

Play the 7th fret E on the 5th string
Tune the open 1st string to this note (one octave up).
Play the 5th fret D on the 5th string
Tune the open 4th string to this note (by unison)
Play the 2nd fret B on the 5th string
Tune the open 2nd string to this note (one octave up).
Play the 10th fret G on the 5th string
Tune the open 3rd string to this note (by unison)

Musical sounds are indicated by symbols called NOTES. Their time value is determined
by their color (white or black) and by stems and flags attached to the note:
The notes are named after te first seven letters of the alphabet (A-G), endlessly repeated to embrace the
entire range of musical sound. The name and pitch of the note is determined by its position on the five

Notes Values and Rests
Rhythm Chart




The following charts indicate HOW MANY BEATS various NOTES and RESTS would get in time. You
can accurately measure the duration of each note by: (1) TAPPING your FOOT - to keep track of the beat, (2)
by COUNTING the number of beats given to each note. Notice that in the case of the EIGHT NOTE, a note
is played on both the DOWN and UP of the BEAT.
To understand the values of NOTES and RESTS (signs of silence) in the music, you must understand what is
meant by BEAT. The beat is the regularly or sometimes irregularly recurring pulsation of the music. When
listening to music, tap your foot to the beat of the music. You will discover that the BEAT is divided into:

The Art of the Classical Arpeggio (taken from Acoustic Guitar, Nov. 2007, by Larry Ferrara)
If youve only ever played guitar with a pick, and then suddenly begin playing with your fingers, you will find yourself
injecting a new variety of character and life into your music. Classical guitarists, who play exclusively with their fingers,
are well aware of the sonic possibilities. Even if youve never considered playing classical guitar, studying the
mechanics of these players will have a great impact on your playing.
This lesson will focus on the process of learning and implementing the arpeggioan important technique in any
musicians repertoirethrough the eyes of a classical guitarist. Just as harpists sound each individual note on their
instruments, arpeggios are played when notes of a given chord are performed one at a time instead of at the same
moment. Guitarists can use a wide variety of techniques to play them, with or without a pick, but classical players
perform arpeggios by plucking the strings one at a time with the picking-hand fingers.
Building the Position
For the classical guitarist, getting into the proper playing position is essential to achieving the proper technique. Start by
propping your fret-side foot (for example, a right-handed player should prop up his or her left foot) with a small
footstool. Position the guitar over your raised knee with the fretboard at an upward angle, and hold your picking hand
so that the fingers are positioned nearly perpendicular to the strings. Your body should make contact with the guitar at
four points: the inner left and right thighs, the chest, and the picking-hand forearm. Playing in this position will allow for
an extended stroke where the fingers, after plucking, contract toward the heel of the hand while gliding freely over the
next lower stringa technique classical players refer to as a free stroke.
To perform a free stroke, lightly rest your picking forearm (not your upper arm) on the midpoint of the guitars lower
bout. Make sure your elbow is aligned with the shoulder, and that your hand falls just below the soundhole. To be sure
your hand is relaxed, make a fist and then unclench it to a comfortable position. Arch your wrist slightly and curl your
fingers into a half-circle shape, gently touching one another. (Avoid over arching, as this can aggravate the tendons
and lead to painful problems down the road!) Now try plucking a string with your index finger. As it approaches the
string, aim your attack so that you make contact with the part of your finger where the flesh and nail meet. Your index
finger should approach at a slight angle, so that you pluck near the inside edge of the nail. The thumb, meanwhile,
should be held straight at the knuckle, extending slightly beyond the index. As it approaches and strikes the string,
move it straight down, toward the index.
Have a look at Example 1, a simple arpeggio that includes the proper fingering for classical guitar. Strike each string in
the manner described previously, letting each finger follow through toward the heel of the right hand (being sure to sail
over the next lower string entirely). As the next finger goes in for the attack, let the previous finger relax and return to
its starting position above the string, ready for its next note.

Practice By Planting
Even once the free stroke begins to feel familiar, pulling a series of them into an arpeggio can still be tricky. Many
classical guitarists develop their delivery through a practice technique frequently called planting or prepositioning. Think
of the way a baseball batter checks his or her swing while warming up on deck. Similarly, by planting the fingers of the
picking hand on their assigned strings (as designated by the p, i, m, and a symbols in each lesson examplesee page
12 for more details) before each note is sounded, guitarists develop their ability to consistently find the appropriate
string and use the correct articulation.
To play an ascending arpeggio, plant all of your fingers simultaneously [Example 2]. The picking-hand fingers lie on
the strings positioned to play a chord but instead play each individual string in sequence from low to high. This is what I
call a full plant, where all of the picking fingers are pre-positioned at the same time to pluck the arpeggio.
Ex. 2
ClassicalBasics_Ex1-4.pdf
For descending arpeggios, the fingers are pre-positioned one at a time in sequence [Example 3]. The fingers play the
strings they touch one by one and are always one string ahead of the string to be sounded. Because it keeps your
other fingers out of the way of ringing strings, this partial planting technique is useful when playing a series of notes
on adjacent, descending strings. When an arpeggio combines an ascending and descending cascade of notes, use a
combination of both approaches, as in Example 4.

ClassicalBasics_Ex1-4.pdf
Planting is not just an excellent technique to help guitarists orient their picking hand: over time it also develops accurate
feeling, articulation, and tone, and a sense for the amount of resistance each string gives. When performing, this
technique can be used under certain circumstances to provide articulation, but more often, it is set aside so that notes
connect, ring out, and vibrate clearly.
On page 51 is an arpeggio study by 19th-century Spanish composer Dionisio Aguado. First practice it as Aguado wrote
it, with a straight, ascending sequence. Then, in order to gain comfort with string crossings, try applying the picking-
hand fingering variations that I have suggested at the end of the study. Practicing each will eventually give you a nice
arsenal of picking-hand sequences that you can choose from with relative comfort, whether improvising, composing, or
providing accompaniment. There will be circumstances, dictated by the meter of a work or the character of a piece of
music, when one arpeggio fingering works significantly better than another. As you practice, work toward being able to
switch the patterns around with ease while keeping a steady beat.

MIND THE METRONOME
While the metronome is a very useful device no matter what your playing style, it is a crucial tool for the classical
guitarist. Use of a metronome can facilitate the development of speed and control the practice of technical exercises (in
this case, the arpeggio). This is done by beginning at a slow tempo and gradually increasing the pace until the desired
tempo is reached. To start, try playing the ascending, eighth-note arpeggios from Example 2 so that the clicks fall
comfortably on every other note of the figure. For the sixteenth-note arpeggios that make up the study above, practice
at a speed in which you can play comfortably and the clicks fall on the low note of each sequence.

CHECK LIST FOR THE RIGHT AND LEFT HAND
RIGHT HAND
1. Forearm, not upper arm, rests lightly on the guitar at its mid point on the lower bout. Elbow should be
aligned with the shoulder and the hand should fall just behind the sound hole.
2. Wrist is gently arched and slightly curved downward. Hand is shaped as though it is holding a tennis
ball with thumb extended outside of it or to establish a basic position; make a fist and then relax it.
3. Fingers are smoothly curved from the knuckle joint and held close together gently touching.
4. Contact with string is where the flesh and nail meet and is very slightly to left of the fingertip more so
with index finger than with ring finger.
5. Nails engage strings simultaneously with flesh but the flesh makes the contact with the string.
6. When playing a free stroke the fingers strike strings at a slightly oblique angle and move toward the
palm of the hand, gliding freely over the lower string.
7. After the stroke the finger comes out away from the palm and returns to its initial starting point usually
above the string but sometimes on it. This depends if planting (or pre-positioning of the finger onto the
string) is utilized.
8. When playing a rest stroke a push down and in rather than pluck or scratch is the basis for the stroke.
9. After the finger pushes the string down and in and briefly rests on the lower string the finger then
bounces back and returns to its former position aligned with its other fingers.
10. Upon impact with string, tip joint of finger collapses only slightly to avoid tension and rigidity.
11. Fingertips positioned close to strings without touching them (unless preparation is employed).
12. For general timbre and playing position, the hand is held at the edge of the sound hole where the rosette
turns.
13. Hand is relaxed, held steady and not allowed to bounce.
14. Thumb is slightly extended beyond index finger.
15. Tip of thumb is straight at the knuckle joint for presentation to string during free stroke.
16. Tip of thumb is turned back at the knuckle joint for presentation to string during rest stroke.
17. Thumbnail contacts string at the center when playing free strokes.
18. Thumb nail contacts string at the left corner when playing rest strokes
19. Thumb approaches and strikes the string at a 90-degree angle and performs a circular motion after
stroke.
20. When fingers move back toward the palm during normal playing, the thumb extends upward.
21. When the thumb moves down during normal playing the fingers kick out.
LEFT HAND
1. Elbow, forearm, wrist and hand are aligned during normal grip
2. Wrist is as straight as comfortably possible and aligned with the forearm relaxed and not rigid.
3. Upper arm is sufficiently away from or close toward torso to allow for flexibility as needed.
4. Palm is generally held parallel to bottom edge of fret board.
5. A small space is maintained between palm and bottom edge of fretboard.
6. Except for close fingering within a single fret; lateral separation of the fingers at knuckle is desired.
7. Fingers fret on tips (not flats) and face the string.
8. Fingers are held close to strings pointing towards them.
9. When not in use, fingers are relaxed yet stable and in position close to strings pointing toward them
and separated at the knuckle, fanned across four frets.
10. Hand is held steady and not allowed to rock back and forth.
11. Fingers are arched and not allowed to collapse at either joint when pressure is applied.
12. Minimal pressure is desirable and prevents fatigue and sluggish movement.
13. Minimal lift restrains excess movement.
14. Thumb generally opposes first or second finger. (First finger when barring).
15. Thumb should not rise above the upper edge of the neck.
16. Tip of thumb should be turned back and locked except when playing sixth string.
17. Thumb always moves when the hand does and keeps its alignment when shifting.
18. No outward rotation of palm at shifts.
19. Arm accommodates hand movements and leads the fingers when shifting.
134
CHECK LIST FOR MUSICAL INTERPRETATION AND IMAGINATION
INTERPRETATION
1. Know where all phrases start and stop. Aim for long phrases but be aware of the sub-phrases within the
longer line.
2. Find antecedent and consequent phrases and play them like a question and answer statement.
3. Articulate the relationship of phrases and create distinction between them.
4. Find the high point of a phrase and move musically toward it and diminish away from it. The high point
isnt always in the middle it may be at the beginning, middle or end of the phrase.
5. Look for motives and how they repeat, sequence or transform. How does the music life of a motive
affect the way the music should be performed?
6. Strive for legato playing when musically appropriate.
7. Sing the lines or sing along with playing to emphasize the musical flow or naturalness of the lines.
8. Use vibrato on notes that are sustained and use vibrato corresponding to the intention of the line or the
tempo of the piece.
9. Articulate the meter if the piece is reliant on rhythm, which many pieces are.
10. Phrase across the bar line if the music needs to move forward and phrase into the beats to create a more
static rhythm.
11. Use accents for clarity and drama if musically appropriate.
12. Apply tempo rubato if stylistically appropriate.
13. Find the correct tempo of a piece. A musical tempo is one that is just right or speaks well for the way
the music is to be played.
14. Use a metronome to help find and capture a tempo.
15. Be aware of the MM of a given piece but play it at a tempo according to personal taste and wishes.
16. Observe all expression markings and add more if appropriate. Try to determine what the composer
wanted and then realize that.
17. Make a noticeable difference between forte and piano
18. Avoid rushing during crescendo or slowing when decrescendo.
19. Follow the contour of the musical line by rising intensity as the notes ascend and diminish intensity as
notes descend.
20. Bring out harmonic tension in the progressions of chords or implied harmonies.
21. Emphasize dissonances and allow them to answer softly in resolutions.
22. Mark cadences and bring out the open, closed or deceptive qualities of each.
23. Make your tone musical by using free or rest stroke where appropriate.
24. Apply light and shade or brightness (ponticello), and softness (tasto) in repeated or echoed passages,
complete phrases or sections of pieces.
25. Find the melody in a piece and balance the subsidiary parts so that the melody stands out.
26. Balance the texture so important voices stand out in dialogue or in answering statements, i.e. treble and
bass discourse.
27. Determine the form of the piece you are working with and bring the form out by playing sections as new
material, varied material, developed or repeated material. If the material is returning play it as if it has
already been accustomed to or acquainted with and is now recurring.
IMAGINATION
1. Feel the music to conjure up a wide range of ideas, thoughts, and expressions.
2. What is the character or spirit of the music?
3. Demonstrate the understanding of the style or the historic perspective the piece is written with.
4. Make the music tell a story, with characters, expectations, conflicts, resolutions and feelings.
5. Know the meaning of the title, expression markings or description given to the work you have.
6. Breathe life into the music and coordinate it with the rhythm and phrasing. This helps bring awareness
to the entire body. Exhale into downbeats and inhale on upbeats. Exhaling makes the body relax.
7. Listen critically to your sound when moving from key to key or register to register. Feel the change of
quality.
8. Persuade the listener to believe this is an artistic piece.
9. Stay with the thought that you want to play well because you have something to give.
10. Play with your heart by giving life and a sense of longing to the music.
