I’m going through This Is classical guitar (first book to start). What tempo should I practice at? I know that I should slow down until I can play it comfortably but how fast should I work up to? Watching his performance for the first etudes (quarter notes) it looks like he plays it at 240+ BPM which seems high for a beginner book. When should we “call it good” and move on? (I have been going back and reviewing, so it’s “never good”). Thanks!

Looking for a good leg rest for my classical guitar. I’m new and have a foot stool, but I’m also on the older side and already feels uncomfortable. I’ve tried a few in the $30 range I found on Amazon and they don’t feel comfortable or keep sliding off my leg. Any recommendations?

Edit: Thanks everyone for your recommendations! I’ll check some of these out!

As the question states, I am looking for a little more direction on Bradford Werner's content (This is Classical Guitar) and wanted to confirm what I suspect. I am finally going to sit down and learn classical guitar, and it looks like according to his site I should focus on going through his classical guitar method volume 1 through completion first before I jump into volume 2 + any additional repertoire. Is this the right path? I know it kind of also depends on my skill and/or how quickly I progress. Any advice or recommendations are appreciated!

I am looking to maybe try this platform out. Love the Drumeo videos on YouTube and they sometimes demo the Drumeo platform.

Was interested in if anyone has done the lessons? Am interested in the acoustic side of guitareo, want to build on what I know and finally call myself an intermediate player after a decade and a half!

I think it’s great that there’s a lot of information out there and there is a lot of bibles that have foot notes and/or chapter intros, etc. I would love to find a Bible that doesn’t have any of that.

I think it’s referred to as a pew Bible (based on a quick search), but I would like a Bible that just has table of contents, book titles, chapters and verses. A page to denote New or Old Testament. But no foot notes, explanations, etc.

Is there such a thing out there and any good versions? Thanks in advance!
