Classical Guitar: Carcassi Etude #3 in A Major

Incredibly detailed, note by note instruction on this etude by the great classical master Matteo Carcassi. You will learn EXACTLY what your fingers need to do to master this piece. You will also learn powerful practice methods to train your fingers to meet the technical challenges of this piece.

This piece trains both hands in essential and advanced guitar techniques.

RIGHT HAND: The right hand will learn to play a 3 voice texture with the thumb playing a bass line, the index and middle playing a free stroke accompaniment, and the ring finger playing a melody rest stroke.

You will also learn powerful right hand skills, such as placing the thumb on its next note before making the left hand shift. This relaxes the right side of the body and makes the left hand work with more ease.

LEFT HAND: Your left hand will get quite a workout as you learn how to make complex chord changes easy by using guide fingers, and placing fingers in a particular order for the most ergonomic movement into the next chord

You will also learn a variety of bar formations that give great strength to the hand. You will learn to hold various bar shapes while other fingers play gain strength by reaching out for other notes.

The practice strategies you will use to learn this piece can be used in every other piece of music you learn, making you a fundamentally better player!

Oh, and it happens to be a beautiful piece that will give you and your listeners a wonderful musical experience.!
