aww , for a second I thought poland stabbed himself <| sep |> found a tiny mushroom <| sep |> I look forward to see who I ' ll be supporting next year . <| sep |> Welcome to the dark side ! The best advice I can give you is to emphatically state that classical guitar is a completely different animal than acoustic . The size is different , the strings are different , and the way you hold and play it must be different . If you don ' t realize this up front , at the least , you could spend a couple of years as I did finding and correcting postural and technical mistakes at worst , you could cause injury to your hands . I ' ve recently started practicing with a mirror in front of me so I can correct things on the fly , and it ' s made an incredible difference in my playing . If you can get an instructor , that would be ideal . That said , is there something in particular you ' re looking for advice on ?
