Isn't that putting too much pressure on both the strings and the guitar? I personally do it gradually, but idk if that's reasonable or unnecesary.

i’m having a real hard time figuring out what brand this classical guitar is. I know it says it’s made in Japan, but the sticker inside of it is nonexistent, but it has the glue marks so if anyone knows and could help me also I wanna know if the neck is ruined or not. Thank you.

I'm looking for fingerstyle bossa nova tabs. Does anyone know of any websites or anything else to find tabs for fingerstyle bossa nova songs? Ideally, for easy/intermediate levels.

I'm going to make an audition in february 2026 where the sight reading seems to be counting more than actually playing the repertoire. I know picking a different piece of sheet music everyday helps (and if you guys know about places where I can find more sheet music for more diversity of content I would love it.), but I was hoping you guys could share your experiences and realizations of what kind of mental tools you have created to have a better link with the guitar neck and the sheet music, and also dealing with rhythm. what do you guys think first when reading? etcetera...

Many guitarists rely on a network of people who believe in their art. How did you cultivate those relationships with concert series directors, artistic managers, and other gatekeepers in the classical music world? Are there any networking strategies you've found particularly effective that might be different from traditional approaches?

What are your favorite classical guitar arrangements of whatever you love, whether it be orchestral works or pop songs? Lately I've been looking for arrangements of popular tunes to make my repertoire more light-hearted, and many of Noriyasu Takeuchi's arrangements have a nice balance to them where it feels rewarding without being too difficult.

One example of an orchestral piece that I love is Venancio Garcia Velasco's arrangement of Granados's Intermezzo (from Goyescas Opera) for solo guitar - it's a captivating piece that doesn't seem as difficult as other works by Granados, yet it's almost always performed as a duet.
