Warming up is critical to a productive classical guitar rehearsal. As tempting as it can be to just sit down and dive into your favorite piece of music, warming up prepares your fingers and mind for a focused rehearsal session.
It's worth noting that there's a difference between playing the guitar and actually practicing guitar.
Playing pieces that you already know at performance tempo puts your brain and hands on auto-pilot - and this should not be mistaken as practice. The goal of practicing should be to learn new exercises and pieces, as well as reinforce the things you already know.
A quality warm-up session will help put you in the proper mindset for a productive rehearsal or performance.
ArtistWorks Classical Guitar Review

In this student spotlight, we interview Paul Berge from New York who’s been learning classical guitar online with Jason Vieaux for a little over a year now. Not being able to find a local teacher in his area, Paul went searching for classical guitar lessons online, which is how he discovered ArtistWorks.
What made you want to learn classical guitar?
“Being an introvert with no singing ability, I was looking for more of a solo instrument. This naturally led me to the classical guitar. Another musician friend of mine happened to have a very cheap classical guitar laying around which he gave me. I immediately felt more at home with the nylon string guitar and began purchasing method books and seeking out instructional videos.”
