Hi,

I have studied under two Segovia students and also teach classical guitar.

I would highly recommend it.

If you learn to play classical, and properly, with sight reading, and scales and exercises every day, your ability to play in any style will skyrocket. It makes you better at everything. I use a lot of chord progressions from classical guitar songs and classical music in general when I am writing. Below are the soundcloud versions of songs I later put out on an bossa album playing classical. I used BIAB for the backing tracks and played the main guitars myself.

You can skip the first song with the vocals and start with #2. It is instrumental as are the rest. This is not classical, per se, it is latin, but it will give you an idea.

You don't have to spend a fortune to get a good classical. I would suggest not buying anything new.

I went to a used guitar shop and bought a beat up "Dauphine" handmade in Spain for $125. Very old.

It is the most beautiful sounding guitar I own.

Let me know what else you want to know.

Yes, go take classical lessons. You will not regret it.

Here is one my my favorite players playing one of my favorite songs.

If this doesn't make you want to learn I don't know what will.

Also Google Christopher Parkening.

One career note, most REALLY GOOD classical guitarists have second jobs. Exceptional ones teach at colleges but it is not known as a profession where you become wealthy.

Unless you are Christopher Parkening who retired at 30, and had started the classical guitar department at USC when he was in his twenties. (He came out of retirement and still does that.)

Google him and watch his youtubes.

Aamzing.
