Course Description
This course presents students with 12 pieces of recital music influenced by Spanish culture and includes Flamenco as in 'Fiesta' and 'Grenadinas' to the traditional 'Malaguena' the romantic 'La Catedral' and haunting 'Soledad' which reflects Andalucia's Moorish legacy.
At the start of this course I have presented a lecture which will teach students how to master the'Rasquerdo' the flambouyant form of strumming which makes this style of music so exciting to play. I have also added tips on how to strum effectively, achieve higher arpeggio speeds and on how to produce richer sounds by using vibrato.

I've called upon my 35 years experience as a guitar teacher to create the DISCOVER CLASSICAL GUITAR and FINGERSTYLE BLUES GUITAR MADE EASY courses. I believe that that fastest progress is made by presenting students with a structured progression of varied and exciting music.
I'm as passionate as ever about teaching guitar, I find it wonderfully rewarding to witness the joy, enthusiasm and sense of achievement that learning this instrument brings.
Since studying the classical guitar under Antonio Albeniz at the Guildhall School of Music I have taught the instrument, on a one to one basis to thousands of students. mainly in a number of Kent schools, but also to many adults, some well into their 70's.
My students have played in countless concerts as soloists or within ensembles and many have chosen to perform on the classical guitar as part of their GCSE and A level recitals with some choosing to study music in further education using the classical guitar as their primary instrument.

I believe this course is excellent. It has excellent variety of Spanish music which are helpful to facilitate understanding rhythm, harmony, and flexibility of melodies. Invites to learn more of Spanish music and its origins. A good way to consider visiting Spain and have the opportunity to be mire enriched by the co!ors of its culture.

Brilliant course! Taken a while but made my way through all of the pieces and thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you for making it!

I am two-finger picker, thumb for bass, pointer for the rest. Obviously this is quite limiting and I have been unsuccessful, until now, to add a third, middle finger to the proceedings. This course is teaching me in a very digestible pace to use a third finger for plucking - a eureka moment for me! Mr. Green is an excellent mentor and a skilled teacher, as well as a wonderful musician in his own rite. Easy five stars.
