Classical Guitar Latin Style: Method and Tips Blog

Traditional Method with a Latin Beat!

The Guitarra del Sur Method takes no shortcuts in your guitar education. Instead it is an enriched version of traditional guitar technique taught for generations. Many guitar methods use a system of tablature (TAB for short) which helps you find the correct notes without knowing which notes you are playing or the rhythm (the timing) of the song. This type of instruction will lead you to a dead end. On the other hand traditional methods are criticized for being boring. With Guitarra del Sur, you will play beautiful bossa nova and nuevo flamenco music rather than Camptown Races and Mary Had a Little Lamb.
