Great video! Now that I am 70 years old, my warmup time has expanded to an hour. It’s necessary to warmup the Right hand fingers combinations ala the Segovia scales instructions. I also start each day with Pi Pm Pa playing between random strings… always more Pa of course!

I am expecting this instructional session will be informative, interesting and enjoyable like the previous ones. Thanks Alexandra!

This definitely helps, or at least let us see and gives us ideas to make our own warm up rutine and it's a pleasure listen to you and your advices, I'm gonna start to incorporate all the things that you've mentioned, thanks for sharing this with us! Greetings from Costa Rica!

This video is helpful to me. What you've shared here, I will incorporate into my own daily practice.

Alexandra, it is so good of you to prepare and then give these lessons. You are investing time and energy to benefit others. My admiration for you continues to grow!

Since I first found your videos, listening to you has given my playing a better light to follow. So truly helpful and insightful how you describe the keys of bringing parts of music together. Thank you so much, greatly appreciated. Bless you for sharing these wonderful details. Keep up the amazing videos.

Thank you. This is a great lesson. I'm excited to try it.

This and part 1 have been extremely helpful for great warm up exercises. My fingers are stiff so these exercises mean so much to me. Thanks Alexandria.👏👏

Warm ups is just what I had been searching for Your Channel is great and you're a Genius at the guitar 👏👏🌻

Thank you! You’ve given me a couple of ideas I hadn't thought of...very useful.

Thanks very much Alexandra, I love these videos as they are inspirational and really useful to implement these techniques, hopefully. Take care and keep safe and well.xxx

thanks so much Ms. Whittingham; both parts of this series have been very helpful.

loved this video, very helpful ,i must admit that i do tend to skip practice sessions, but this seems like a great routine to practice and warm up , thanks for sharing it

I think that my favorite thing about this video is that it shows me I'm not practicing the wrong things! It's always good to see someone as experienced as you doing the same exercises as someone like me, a total noob ahaha! Love the videos, looking forward to the next one

I found parts 1 & 2 warm-up videos very useful. I've watched a few different videos on classical guitar warm-up exercises. There seems to be no end of exercises that could be done for warm-up. These seem to cover a lot of bases between right and left hand. I think I'm going to have to write all of these down in a notebook to organize them and have a nice pick list. Thank you for taking the time to organize and share these useful exercises.

Bendito el ser humano , que aprende y luego decea instruir a los demás sin pedir nada a cambio ,eso lo llamo yo ,ser una exelente ser ,te felicito exito

Thank you. Your teaching is clear and very helpful. Very grateful.

this is fantastic. I've been working on Tarrega's 'Recuerdos de la Alhambra' ; i've felt like a creature trying to play it before warming up. I'm inspired, thank you ! blessings and luck to you !

Es un deleite y sin duda fascinante aprender de la mejor buena vida Alexandra.

You play so well. ☺️ I love your technique tips and over all style 😌

Alexandra you are... A love, thank's for you her class.

Thanks Alexandra. Keep making videos!

Thanks a lot for Your efforts. It is very helpful. 🌺🙏

Very good and helpful for me. Thank you

Je me régale de t'écouter et même que je comprends pas toujours c'est pas grave je te vois je suis heureux merci pour le partage de ton savoir tu et magnifique ❤️🌹🌹🌹

thank you so much that's very helpful!

Thank you Alexandra! Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina

good to see that you're teaching what you already know.

Love your fingers! They make a very beautiful sound.

It's fine, it works. Thank you, Alexandra...

Okay, here is my thought on what prepares you for practicing. I tend to warm up with memorized sections of really favorite pieces. But my biggest practice issue is 1) I'm currently working on Villa-Lobos Prelude no. 1 and I see you play, Legnani Fantasia. Total misdirection and after IMSLP I'm printing that and playing the Largo section and now I'm bored with the Villa-Lobos. Another example is "Luiza" by Jobim and arranged by Raphel Rabello and I'm hung up on the tremolo at the end. I'm now in Hubert Kappel's technique book and trying to learn Recuerdos de la Alahambra first. I appreciated these two videos because you show discipline. And, that's required to do all this. P.S. I did complete Richard Charlton's "Black Cockatoo" to memory and I've recorded it lol. Again, thanks for the warm-up tips, I think I'm going to create some of this but also score the exercises with a pencil once I have my collection put together.

Love U Xandra 💗

Lovely class, thaks for sharing!👌🌹🌹😍

hell, I just love you, no matter what you play or say!

One of the best practice vids i have ever seen. You are quite remarkable. A natural teacher. I don't play but I am seriously considering it now. ❤️

I'm sorry but this makes no sense whatsoever if you do not play guitar then there is no way you can possibly judge this warm up routine or anything about it.

Excellent

thank you very much

That's all i needed, thank you Alexandra. Are you going to perform soon in France ?

Warming up is possibly the most important, physically neglected aspect of the guitarist's daily routine. I come across many, even upper intermediate students who either skip this entirely or scrimp somewhat on what should be as important to the guitarist as it is to the athlete. We are in a very great sense, athletes in that we use our bodies to achieve our goals. Our goals aren't to go faster, longer or higher but to achieve beautiful music without incurring injuries or damaging our bodies in the process. Especially as we get older this becomes very important and vital if we wish to continue playing our guitar. Thank you for a look at a very pertinent aspect of what should be every guitarists initial daily encounter with their instrument.

Your amazing thank you 4 4 sharing :-)

Helloo im from Argentina ! congratulations Ale

I did find it useful. Most of the scale exercises I do, or have done. However the three 8ve scale in 8ves alternating, is new to me. I'll certainly practice that one. I occasionally practice scales in 6ths and 3rds. I also have a warm up routine using the "G" scale along the fingerboard, played as a pattern, applying hammer on's and pull off's. I'll demonstrate that in a video in due course and share it. Cheers

All that and so beautiful too!

A.W., Good Stuff...along with Part_1. Thx.

Thanks for posting! Interesting approach- I haven't read about your background, but the warm ups/exercises appear Aaron Shearer influenced. Nice combination of RH fingers for scales, intervals, etc. I've used the Los Romero-based approach i.e., Giuliani RH patterns, Carcassi/Sor etudes, playing scales are derived from actual pieces, flamenco forms for RH/LH synchronization, RH rasgeados, and scale work. The etudes are fun as you can tailor them to pieces you're learning, vary the tempos, experiment with RH free/rest strokes, and vary the interpretation. Is that a Hauser-influenced guitar? The headstock appears so.

The only thing that would help me is note for not as you practice the arpeggios. I watch what you are doing but the exact notes confound me. You are a great player and I love listening.

Really nice lesson! 😎

❤❤❤ Thanks 😁

very interesting ,thank you,I would like to know how you practice a piece you know pretty good at home to yourself but must get it concert ready and flawless

Me enseñarías a afinar?, te felicito! y debo repetir los videos, al primer intento no dejo de verte en la siguiente presto mas atención a los acordes :D Gracias Genia !

Gracias estoy practicando duro todos los dias! Quiero ser guitarrista clasico! thanks i am practicing hard every day. I want to be a classical guitarist!

Yes, I found it very useful indeed. And I'm gonna buy a guitar and take lessons as well. Do you think, as I've never played a classical guitar before, it is better lessons in person or not?

Hi Alexandra! I am from Argentina! I love your playing technique, when you can upload your material with subtitles!

Amazing 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hi You are fantastic I wonder if I will learn even 1/4 like you God bless

Fascinante.

Hi Alexandra! I Absolutely love this lesson, it is inspiring me to change up my warm up routine and dig into classical guitar scales from the royal conservatory guitar technique book again. Your fluency and memorization of the specific fingerings is wicked... I always gave up before getting to that point. I feel like this is a fairly advanced lesson and for beginners a few things could be expanded on... for those who don't have the book with all the fingerings it could be difficult to know how to play the various scales in 3 octaves... I am wondering if the fingerings for MAJ, Harmonic mi & Melodic mi are the same for scales staring on F, F#, G, G# etc. Also curious if you also also play the I-IV-V-I cadences at the end of each scale to re-enforce those chords and cadences. I can also tell that your technique is excellent as your thumb is travelling up and down the strings with the fingers as you move across from the low E string to the high E strings. Again, many people learning from this lesson may not catch on to that and leave their thumb planted on the low E string enforcing bad habits, retaining tension and limiting them from reaching higher speeds. Perhaps you could do a follow up lesson that talks about the subtleties of your technique and slow it down a bit. A deep bow of gratitude, you're killing it! -Sangito

Hello Alexandra 🎼🎸

Very beautiful

Ms Wittingham, please state whether you're using free or rest stroke for each exercise--in each video.

Love you

Alexandra,the sun girl showing us how to play guitar))))

🙏

Excellent practical advice. Practice, jus go for it. Question? I heard others talk about pushing through the strings when playing? I sort of just roll off the nail. And tone? How to avoid the buzz and placing the left hand?

@stanniesvb

as long as you don't pull the strings, you are probably fine. When you really push your string you tend to get more sound. You can eliminate string noise by starting any note played on the flesh of your finger instead of your nail, this mutes any weird noises and creates a warmer tone.

Alexandra, você tem fãs aqui no Brasil.

Q lindo p quem toca instrumentos de cordas .

Really interesting, thanks for sharing! What do you do for nail care? I notice that bass strings really grind into my nails, I don't know if it is a problem with how I pluck the strings or if it is a problem with the nails themselves (maybe they are too brittle?)

Arpeggios!!!!!!

You could start your practice by learning how to go from lower case to upper case on your phone or keyboard. Progress along by learning proper word spacing and punctuation. These simple tasks appear to escape you....playing music has some of the same skill requirements. No offense intended, just trying to be helpful.
