How to proceed (Classical)

[Barbara]

Dear Jamie, I recently found your website and have begun work on the Principles and the Classical Course. I have been practicing (not playing) classical guitar on and off for many decades (I'm 77 years old), with several excellent teachers over time interspersed with long periods of complete inactivity. Now I have a couple of hours a day to practice and am HUGELY EXCITED about your method, and am looking for guidance on how to proceed. Should I continue following the Classical Course alone (with the Foundation Exercises, of course) or add scales, chords etc from your other resources? Reading music is not an issue; I consider myself a Failed Intermediate guitarist (!!) The question is whether I should feel completely in control of basic issues covered in the exercises before adding scales, chords etc. or go all in at once.
Also, I (physically) cannot sing, having injured one vocal chord somehow, and I noticed in the Path book that singing is vital. I can of course sing mentally . . . and am an experienced foot-tapper!
Thanks for setting me on the path, and for everything you do!!
Barbara

Hi Barbara, welcome! I'm very happy to see you here!

I need to see your basic finger functioning before answering any questions as to how to proceed. Please post the walking ex from the Principles in the workshop forum, and we'll take it from there!

If you want to see, then do I have to send a video?

Look in the "Workshop" forum, there are instructions there. You just post a video on youtube, and put the link here.
