Work on the core techniques for classical guitar and expand your repertoire with an entire opus from the Romantic era!
Who doesn’t like a challenge that doesn’t take too long (less than 2 weeks!!!) This course is split into 12 days, 1 day per piece. The order of the pieces has been arranged to gradually increase difficulty and each time a new core technique is introduced a specific “technical exercise” is used to illustrate and work the technique in isolation, in preparation for its integration in the piece featuring it.
What you’ll learn
- Develop classical guitar core techniques.
- Expand classical guitar with 12 pieces from Romantic composer Anton Diabelli.
- Master simple pull-out and hammer-on techniques.
- Master single and double grace notes.

Requirements
Who doesn’t like a challenge that doesn’t take too long (less than 2 weeks!!!) This course is split into 12 days, 1 day per piece. The order of the pieces has been arranged to gradually increase difficulty and each time a new core technique is introduced a specific “technical exercise” is used to illustrate and work the technique in isolation, in preparation for its integration in the piece featuring it.
Core techniques featured in this course:
- clamping technique (not full 6 strings clamping, just “small” clamping, easier but still extremely useful as it is very very often used)
- pulling-off
- hammering-on
- grace notes using pulling-off/hammering-on (single and double grace notes)
- full chords (using the thumb to play all 6 strings at once)
- trills (how to recognise them on a music sheet, what they are made of and how to play them)
- tremolo (how to recognise a tremolo on a music sheet and what sort of technique is used for the right hand to play them quick)
Order of the pieces:
- Day 1 – Ländler 1
- Day 2 – Ländler 3
- Day 3 – Ländler 5
- Day 4 – Ländler 11
- Day 5 – Ländler 10
- Day 6 – Ländler 2
- Day 7 – Ländler 4
- Day 8 – Ländler 9
- Day 9 – Ländler 12
- Day 10 – Ländler 8
- Day 11 – Ländler 7
- Day 12 – Ländler 6
By the end of this course you’ll have added 12 pieces (an entire opus!) to your repertoire. What’s not to like?
Now, the question I’m asking you is: are you ready to tackle this challenge?
