This is very helpful Gerald.

I’m working on next month’s practice challenge and I’ll keep this in mind.

That’s Brian Lubeck in the center, to his right is Johannes Linstead and to his left in me. We were performing in Chicago to promote our Christmas CD We Three Strings.

Welcome Steve.

Malaga! Wow… sounds like a great place to live.

In a way I’m glad to hear that your fingers hurt because that means that you’re doing something 🙂

There’s a lot here on the site. Let me know here in the forum if you’d like some help on where to get started.

I’ll ask a few questions and then recommend a starting path.

Good question (I think every musician or music student should have at least one).

What is best for you depends on your individual situation.

Here’s an article I wrote that will help you decide and give you my reviews on some popular ones.

Hi JoAnn,

I don’t know what that is referring to.

Hi JoAnn,

Thanks for posting this in the forum. I’m sure you’re not the only one that’s thinking about this.

I’m glad you hung in there long enough to see how I broke it down.

I’m working on a series of notes, tabs and links right now to complement this lesson. I’m writing some of it out, but I can also link to play-along videos that will help you with practice.

I’ll have it up on the RGS Live May 2017 page early Monday morning.

I believe this will have everything you’re looking for, but feel free to let me know if there’s something else you’d like to see.

Thanks Brandon.

Check out the recording of the live training I did today. It will compliment the monthly challenge lessons.

Welcome Gerald.

Spanish fingerstyle is cool (if I do say so).

I look forward to supporting you with your guitar playing goals. Let me know how I can help you here in the forum.

Take care,

Tomas

Yes, this is very helpful Brandon.

As you probably saw I’ve added a monthly Practice Challenge with different themes. Maybe I could make the theme Latin/Spanish guitar one month?

Also I could do a live training on Latin/Spanish guitar rhythms?

My sister in law moved to Arkansas with her family. My wife is close with her sister so will probably end up coming your way before too long to visit.

Latin guitar… That got my attention.

I’d love to know more about what you call Latin guitar and what kinds of things you’d like to learn.

My intention is to add a lot more lessons in the style of Latin guitar, but I want to know what people want to learn as opposed to what I feel like teaching.

If you’re willing to give some feedback I will seriously take it into account as I create new lessons.

I do have several Latin guitar lessons on this website already. Unfortunately they may not be right for the early stages of play guitar.

Here’s one lesson:

Here’s another short course on rumba Flamenco (the style I’m best known for is a recording artist):

Spanish Fingerpicking (I think this is fine for early stages):

“Tomas is our vocalist”… oh boy, I’m feeling pressure now. I’d better go practice my voice lesson 😉

[Tomas]

Hi Chris,

It’s nice to see you here.

Better late than never 🙂

I look forward to supporting you to teacher guitar playing goals. Please don’t be shy to let me know here in the form how I can help.

Hope to hear more from you soon.

Bye for now Chris,

Tomas

Hi Bob,

Thanks for letting me know about that. I just fixed. The lesson are there now (forgot to press Publish on those two).

[Tomas]

Hi Brandon,

Welcome aboard. Wow… Sounds cool having jam sessions in the middle of town.

I’m honored you chose me as your guitar teacher. I look forward to helping you achieve your guitar playing goals.

Please feel free to let me know here in the community forum any ways that I can help you. You’ll find a lot of other support here as well.

Bye for now Brandon,

Tomas

Oops… my mistake. I was thinking of the Pocket Guitar.

https://www.amazon.com/ELENKER-Portable-Practice-Strings-Beginner/dp/B01A0S1PI2/ref=sr_1_6?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1493863717&sr=1-6&keywords=practice+guitar

The JAMSTIK is quite expensive and I guess can be heard with earphones. I’d have to try it myself before giving a real opinion. I read the reviews and some people like it and some don’t.

Sorry I couldn’t be more help.
