FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS



Will this course make me a "Pro" since that word is in the course title?

While this is an UPPER-INTERMEDIATE course, it is actually Volume #3 of a series of courses.

My goal is to eventually have enough course content online in this series (and perhaps supplemental mini-courses) to cover everything you'll need to know to play like a professional.


For what age range is this course intended?

This course is ideally designed for people aged 9 and up. There is no such thing as being too old to start enjoying the wonders of the classical guitar! Children under 9 can benefit from this course but I'd recommend having an adult view the course with them as a guide.


I already play electric guitar, is this the right course for me?

Absolutely. Alongside Classical Guitar Pro Vol #1, this series of courses will teach you how to easily read music in standard notation, shape your nails and play with good technique. I myself transitioned from electric to classical guitar and I wish I could have had a course this in-depth and fun to guide me.


I don't have a classical guitar yet. Can I use my steel string guitar?

Yes. While I do think having a nylon-strung classical guitar is the best instrument for this music, yes you can take this course on a steel-string acoustic guitar or even an electric guitar.



What will I be able to play at the end?

Classical guitar favorites like Lágrima, Gymnopedie, Gnossienne, Prelude in G by Bach, Beethoven Hymn, Tarantella, Sor etudes, Mertz Nocturne, and Carcassi etudes.


Will I get lifetime access to the course or do I have to watch it in a certain timeframe?

Yes, you get LIFETIME ACCESS and can view the course at your own pace.



What if I don't like the course?

If you take my course and you honestly feel it did not improve your classical guitar playing, there is a 14-day money-back guarantee. However, I put all of my knowledge gained from two degrees, thousands of lessons taught, and running an online music school into this course. I really think you'll like it!


PLEASE NOTE: This is an UPPER-INTERMEDIATE course designed for those with some experience playing already. Sign-up for Classical Guitar Pro Vol #1 to learn the basics. Sign-up for Vol#2 for lower intermediate. This course will not teach ADVANCED classical guitar repertoire/techniques.


Aren't one-on-one lessons better?

While one-on-one lessons are a great way to learn, not everyone can afford them or have a free hour a week to dedicate to in-person lessons. This course is designed for those who want to learn at their own pace and everything taught in this course comes directly from the way Brandon has taught thousands of lessons. Plus you will get personal feedback from BRANDON ACKER in a private Facebook group.

Lastly, you will get a 20% discount to sign-up for Brandon's online music school Arpeggiato where you can take one-on-one lessons with an expert teacher after you've finished this course.


What are the next steps after completing this course?

When you buy this course you get 20% off one-on-one Zoom lessons at Brandon's online music school Arpeggiato.com. We recommend taking advantage of that and working with one of our expert teachers for direct feedback on what you've learned.

We'd also recommend an intermediate technique book like "Pumping Nylon" by Scott Tennant and an anthology of music to learn such as the Library of Easy Guitar Classics.
