Am I supposed to learn chords to play classical guitar?

by Haya
(Egypt)

Hi! I'm a classical guitar player but I own both classical and acoustic guitars. I was wondering about what should I learn to play classical guitar? I already learnt how to read a simple music sheet as for Mi-Fa-Sol-Do-Re-Ci and the simple ones. But how about tabs? chords?


SO HERE ARE THE 3 QUESTIONS I'D LIKE YOU TO ANSWER:
------------------------------------------------------
How could I play finger style classical guitar?
Any recommendations of simple songs I could practice?
Should I learn the chords and tabs?

Thanks!!!

Hi Haya,

Classical/Fingerstyle is different from acoustic in that you're playing more arpeggios (broken chords) and melody over harmonic progressions whereas acoustic is more strumming of chords (for the most part).

I suggest you start with my beginners course. It's free and you can access it here...

Also I have a classical/fingerstyle product coming out very soon (probably next week) and you can get advanced notice by signing up here...

I hope this was of help.

Kind regards,

Absolutely not; learning chords is only useful for popular music, you can just read your sheet music, you dont need to know the chord.
