The guitar attracts us like a magnet with magical power.

The church instrument, the piano, the violin, and several other instruments have properties that develop our artistic senses towards a broad musical perception and at the same time project the promise of a fair reward in our future. And it is very natural that anyone who feels drawn to these instruments accepts with enthusiasm and unwavering desire the obligations set by a study plan under the guidance of a teacher.

On the contrary, the guitar, precisely because it can give a condensed composition of an orchestral polyphony and because it adapts better than any other instrument to different musical genres and the spirituality of the artist, offers this reward only to those who manage to distinguish themselves for some special virtues. However, even here the power of this magnet is evident, as there are many who, sensitized to the ensemble of its exceptional properties, will touch it to their chest and play as their heart guides them and their logic dictates.

From the above, we understand why the guitar has gained a reputation as a difficult instrument, a reputation that arises partly from the inadequate methods that were applied for a long time in its study. And this is mainly due to the fact that good teachers, rare today, are not always accessible to everyone. Secondly, to the inadequacy of the known methods that aim at acquiring a perfect technique, and thirdly, to the fact that among those who wish to learn, there are some who cannot discipline themselves to follow an effective plan, which if followed with care and perseverance, will overcome even the most insurmountable difficulties.

In general, anyone who is about to start learning an instrument knows in advance that they will have to study solfege and that during the lessons, which will gradually progress to a higher level, they will have to undertake persistent and uninterrupted work under the guidance of a capable teacher.

Gradually, and to the extent that their abilities allow, they will be able to face the difficulties and be led to a bold virtuosity. The impatient ones, who without a logical order in their studies risk performing works whose difficulties exceed their level of abilities, the agility and precision of their fingers, significantly slow down the gradual progress that leads to acquiring a perfect technique.
