Every guitarist knows the frustration of tension: a stiff hand, an awkward position, or that nagging sense you’re fighting the instrument instead of flowing with it.
In this short lesson, world-renowned Cuban guitarist Joaquín Clerch reveals the “zero position,” a foundation for effortless playing rooted in the Cuban Guitar School. Drawing from his studies with Leo Brouwer, Clerch demonstrates how thoughtful posture and resonance control can unlock both clarity and expression.
