    Thanks Brandon.

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

    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.

    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):

    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.

    Hi JoAnn,

    One of my staff brought this to my attention about a month ago. I have mixed feelings.

    I think for an experienced guitarist this might be a way to aid in a kind of mental practice. This is proven to be helpful in sports, and sometimes as effective as actual practice.

    For a beginner I’m not sure how much benefit it will be since you can’t actually hear the notes. There are so many subtle things going on in the beginning that you need to know based on the sound.

    If possible my preference would be to have a small guitar that you could take around for  practice like the Yamaha JR-2.

    https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-JR2-4-Size-Acoustic-Guitar/dp/B00HY6W6WI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493863396&sr=8-1&keywords=yamaha+jr2+travel+guitar

    On the other hand if you really can’t bring even a small guitar where you’re going I think this couldn’t hurt… And it’s pretty cheap.
