Andres Segovia’s Right Hand Technique

February 14, 2012 by Alan Leave a Comment

As fingerstyle guitarists we can learn a lot from the technique of classical guitarists. There are some great close ups in the clip below of Andres Segovia’s right hand fingerstyle technique. Segovia was one of the first classical guitarists to pluck the strings with a combination of fingernails and fingertips. Playing in this manner gave him a wider range of timbres. Often by concentrating on holding down chord shapes with the left hand we forget about what the right hand is doing. Don’t fall into that trap and don’t be put off by Segovia’s virtuoso playing….I have some basic right hand technique tips in my free introductory course  !
