A lesson on the concept of string spacing and ergonomics on classical guitar and how it relates to right hand fingering choices. A number of examples are examined as well as a comparison of the opening of Carcassi Etude No.1, Op.60. This is from my book: Right Hand Fingering for Classical Guitar: Concepts and Case Studies. This book aims to give students a basic criteria for justifying fingering choices and gaining confidence in deciding fingering for themselves.
