Your Classical Guitar Input Here

How I started practicing guitar

by Santiago
(El Salvador)

I was 13 when I saw a guitar in a instrument store, a handmade guitar, it cost only 89 dollars here in my country El Salvador.

My uncle who died 4 years ago gave me money to buy it. I started with basic things: chords, exercises for both hands, but I didn't study solfa, I studied it in a music academy but the teacher didn't give his knowledge so very well.

So I retired from that class and I learnd solfa alone. Some years ago I was in an association for playing classical guitar but my studies occupied all my time so I took my distance.

At the present I study phsicology and I would like to start guitar again. If in my university exists a teacher or a group of teachers who give lessons of this greatest instrument, I want to play Matteo Carcassi or Agustin Barrios Mangore's lessons, so I could play classical guitar.
