# 2002 VHS • Esteban Instructional Guitar Methods Vol 1 60 FPS

An introductory classical guitar instructional video hosted by Esteban, covering fundamentals from guitar anatomy through the opening bars of two songs. The program is designed for players receiving an Esteban guitar and presents two seating positions used by classical guitarists, including the position endorsed by Andres Segovia. Topics covered in sequence include tuning using machine heads, left hand finger numbering and pressing technique, right hand position including thumb placement and finger plucking angle, the E major chord as the root chord of Malagueña, the A minor chord, and single-note melody lines. Two songs serve as the teaching vehicles throughout: Malagueña, for which the basic melody and chord structure are taught in full, and Faruka, a flamenco piece introduced in the closing section. Right hand techniques demonstrated include thumb strumming, alternating finger plucking, and rasgueo strumming. The tape is Volume 1 of the Esteban Instructional Guitar Methods series.
