Spanish Romance/Romanza
One of the most famous and most beautiful pieces of classical guitar music ever. It is quite simple (although it does get trickier at bar 7). Enjoy this stunning piece that everyone can give a good go!

Damn it feels good to learn my first song! Such a pretty melody, thank you for this. Still get stuck on a few tricky areas but I’m improving and it’s sounding more and more melodic. I’ve even started to close my eyes and feel where the frets are and how the melody flows which is helping the musicality of the piece. It was a quote you said from a musician about how it must be hard for sighted people to learn music (I’m paraphrasing and can’t remember the musician but the essence of it really stuck with me!)
A huge well done to you! Love reading comments like this and really great work. Wishing you many endless hours of fun with your guitar and this song! (Doc Watson was the one who said that quote btw) 🙂
So glad I found you. I love the way you teach and explain things. Much appreciated!!!!
Thanks, Sandy. Nice of you to say so. Keep up the great work! 🙂
Getting much better at playing part 1 of Spanish Romance, is there a part 2?
Glad to hear it. Yeah, part 2 is much harder so be patient with it and you can learn it HERE.
I notice that you are not playing in your recommended playing position! But I enjoyed the lesson and prefer that playing position too.
Good point, the main reason was that this song was quite easy to play for me, so I could play it in any position. Since then though, I realised that I should practice what I preach and play only in the classical style especially for the videos. It’s wise to play in the classical position most of the time, especially when there are tough passages or you are early on in your guitar journey. 🙂
