Lesson: Combining Phrasing with Relaxation and Technique Practice

Lesson: Combining Phrasing with Relaxation and Technique Practice on Classical Guitar. In this lesson I discuss the idea of presenting good phrasing and combining the ends of phrases with relaxation in the body as well as “pushing the reset button” on your technique and posture as well as the mind in performance. Here’s the YouTube Lesson Link if you prefer to watch it there.

  1. I took lessons starting in 1980’s. Stopped playing for 20 years now back to it. Found this website and learning so much I never learned before. I’m grateful.

  2. This was a terrific and valuable lesson – thank you. I’m still fairly new to classical guitar, and I notice how much my tone changes as stress creeps into my body while playing. My right shoulder shifts up and my right hand angle subtly changes, completely changing the tone. Training to “reset” at the end of a phrase is a great recommendation.
