 Buy a classical guitar

So you are thinking about buying a classical guitar and learning how to play. Congratulations! This is a wonderful path you are embarking on.

I have been playing guitar for many many years and it is one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. I am not a performer, I just do it for my own personal satisfaction. Occasionally I will play for friends and family. Buying a guitar (I now have three) was one of the best decisions I ever made. The budget is long forgotton and the money I spent is still with me in the form of the music I play and the satisfaction I get.

You are going to be so happy that you bought a guitar and learned how to play. There is a richness that comes to a person when he or she learns to play an instrument. And the guitar has been my constant companion through many interesting years.

The guitar will be your companion too

So maybe you are thinking about the expense. Don't! Life passes by so fast. You need to grab some of the rich textures in life and music is one of them.

When you hear an old song on the radio, one that you used to love, doesn't it take you back to that time? This is the power of music. And the ability to play it amplifies the feeling.

Classical Guitar will add a level of creativity to you that you never experienced before. The opportunities are endless.

I have a podcast that I do every week. It is an epic fantasy novel that I wrote called Lion's Last Kill. And I do the intro and ending music for it with my classical guitar. This is absolutely great! What a means of expression. The guitar adds a level to the podcast.

Now the doubt about whether or not you can play might be creeping in. Don't let it! Of course you can learn to play. And I can prove it!

I'm left-handed. Very dominantly left-handed. And I learned how to play right-handed. I only play as a righty. I learned this way because with my first guitar all the strings were arranged for right handed play and the book I had was for right handed play.

So whether you are a righty or a lefty or even if you are a double lefty you will learn how to play and you will get pretty good!

Check out this video of Ana Vidovic in concert playing the classical guitar. It's free and you need to have the real player to watch it. The sheer beauty of the music will make your heart swell.
