Here is a basic warm-up for beginner to early intermediate classical guitarists. I made this with some of my students in mind who might rebel if it was longer than one page! I recommend that teachers get their students to memorize these and play them before working on scales and arpeggios or RCM technique or whatever routine you have going. I’ve also made the video with a few teaching tips and explaining why I chose these particular exercises. I’ll be making more of these for intermediate and advanced students.
