Full Lesson on Fernando Sor Guitar Moderato (op.35, no.2)
The Fernando Sor guitar studies have a been a mainstay of classical guitars for centuries. And with good reason.
As is the norm, I take this little piece and dig into many of the nuances and issues we find in it. We talk chords, phrasing, dynamics, and a ton of other topics.
Have fun!

Hi, I’m Allen Mathews.
I started as a folk guitarist, then fell in love with classical guitar in my 20’s. Despite a lot of practice and schooling, I still couldn’t get my music to flow well. I struggled with excess tension. My music sounded forced. And my hands and body were often sore. I got frustrated, and couldn’t see the way forward. Then, over the next decade, I studied with two other stellar teachers – one focused on the technical movements, and one on the musical (he was a concert pianist). In time, I came to discover a new set of formulas and movements. These brought new life and vitality to my practice. Now I help guitarists find more comfort and flow in their music, so they play more beautifully.
