so about 3 weeks ago , i started my classical guitar lessons. lessons are extremely important with this style of guitar if you want to see rapid progress. i could probably sit down and read and watch videos to figure out the technique but it would possibly take me ages to reach royal conservatory grade 10. as well, lessons keep you playing. i use to take lessons for electric guitar for about 2 years and then decided to teach myself once i knew what to watch for. but then once i stopped lessons, after about 2 months, i stopped playing all together.
