Technique of right hand playing classical guitar

You've probably noticed that, to play classical guitar to keep the finger right long nails, but they are often kept cut very short. The reason why the right is long nails, because they are used to pluck the strings and play a combination of fingers and nails are used to strike the strings.

There has been much discussion about how long or short nails right must be success playing classical guitar, guys like its hard to find a single string and others prefer the softer sound of meat finger. There no way "right" is a matter of personal preference and the environment that the piece is supposed to project. Part of the fun of playing the guitar traditional practice of various pieces and experiment with different sounds, such as mood changes.

To see what I say on styles, then you can see the YouTube videos of John Williams and Andres Segovia playing Asturias, who play very differently, but both versions are beautiful! Both players are and have been the world's best in their respective eras. Andrés prefer short fingernails and use John and higher uses over the fingernail, which gives the sound more staccato music.

The fingers of the right hand is used in the selection the thumb (p) the index (i) means (m) and the ring (a) each finger operates separately from each other and both sides of the nail may be used to strike the strings. However, it is usual that the fingers strike the strings coming up and the thumb goes down. The little finger used to support the hand and is usually based on the face of the guitar just below the strings. Flamenco players still use all the fingers to strike the strings and especially use a down stroke of the fingers. The Pima "sequence" of the fingers is often used as a commentary on the classical guitar and music is a way you can find music that is specifically for classical guitar.

Another aspect is the shape of nails Scott Tennant Pumping author nylon and one of the top players of today as the more usual square nails and said it should be oriented so that the chain strikes the right uniform, allowing a smooth release of the chain. Segovia is said to have kept the nails short and not much more than twice the width of the strings. Whatever the shape and length you choose, you must use a fine quality nail files, preferably stainless steel solid and last longer, some jewelry grit sandpaper and an extremely thin buffer of high quality leather polish. They are used in order for the shape of the nail and the soft tip, so that no parts that can initiate the chain. The buffer is used to polish all parties of the nail to release the chain is extremely flexible and predictable.
