Re: Revitalizing Your Classical Guitar Journey: Mastering the Fundamentals with Dr. Daniel de Arakal! Sometimes I get a buzz on a rest stroke from the string hitting the back of my nail. Am I not lifting the finger up off the rest string quickly enough, or not keeping the finger depressed long enough?

Re: Level 1 - List Of Pieces (+ Discussion Space) @Brian I am past the level of his basic book, in some ways, but perhaps it’s a good idea for me to revisit the material and make sure I can really master the concepts and improve my control and sound.
