I stumbled upon Allen's video in 2013 and I realized that I found myself a great teacher. Later on I became a lifelong member of the Classical Guitar Shed. I think that this is one of the best decisions I made for my life. The team are always engaged in helping me become a better guitarist. They are constantly updating materials and providing new space for people to learn and play. I truly recommend anyone who is interested in seeking to excel in their guitar experience. This is definitely the best for me.

The Classical Guitar Shed (CGS) is an outstanding online system for learning to play classical guitar. It is actually an opportunity space for learning to play beautifully under the direction of an inspired teacher. Beyond its structured courses, teaching videos, sheet music, video critiques, and other personalized resources, CGS has created a supportive, nurturing, and safe environment for all ability levels in its community. There is no pressure, only a cultivation of the willingness to learn and progress in the art of classical guitar at your own pace. The CGS-moderated monthly group Zoom Q&A’s and open mic sessions, coupled with a community Facebook page, provide a safe place to ask questions, seek guidance, and be inspired. There is no better place to pursue your goal of mastering the classical guitar.

Best organized guitar learning website on the internet. The program is well thought out and thorough with gradual steps to help develop competency. Add in the other learning opportunities and you have a complete package.

I highly recommend Classical Guitar Shed to learn the classical guitar. There is a huge amount of material in the program, so you will not be bored. Allen, Zak, and Chris provide excellent support also.

I am so pleased I joined the Guitar Shed as my playing has improved significantly through using the structured program. The team are very supportive if you have any issues.

Among many tutorial pages in the web I found ClassicalGuitarShed one of the most useful and fun at the same time. Many teachers out there may be very good at their instrument but Allen also is a master in explaining and also impresses me with a very vast knowledge in different subjects, all resulting in hints to getting better at guitar playing. The page is very well structured and each of the lessons and courses is full of ideas useful for beginners as well as for experienced players too.

An excellent program! Years ago I studied for a brief period with a classical guitar PhD student who had a masters degree from Juilliard. He could play well but was not educated in teaching. Thus he indulged my desire to learn pieces far beyond my skill level. I wasted years trying to play above my level. I thought if I just practice enough I can learn to play well. Nope - an eye opener as to the fallacy of learning on hard pieces is to really listen to simple exercises. Play a scale, can you make each note the same volume? Can you linearly make the volume increase or decrease? Are your fingers independent? Can you play an entire passage with correct timing without slowing for the “hard” measures? We need to master the basics before moving to more advanced pieces. This course provides the necessary guidance to grow as a player in the theory and practice for guitar.

If you have an interest in learning Classical Guitar I very strongly recommend ClassicalGuitarShed. I've played guitar for many years and decided to take up classical a couple of years ago. this course/program has been perfect. Very well thought out course, can be done at your own pace, and you get great support.
