Skype Lessons

Are you tired of wasting time when you practice?
- You spend days, weeks and months practicing a piece and it just doesn't improve much
- When you play in front of people your memory goes, difficult bits fall apart and unexpected errors creep in
- You wish you could understand the music better so that you weren't just 'playing notes'

Imagine what it would feel like if after each practice you made amazing progress
- You could memorize pieces very quickly
- Your performances would be better than when you practiced at home
- You could drastically improve your understanding of music

After giving hundreds of live performances, playing for examinations, competitions and live radio, I know how important good practice can be.

Many guitarists get into a cycle of bad practice habits. The fact is that practice doesn't make perfect. Creative and amazing practice makes perfect!

If you don't change your practice habits and mindsets, then you will make very slow, or even little to no progress! You actually can make your errors and memory even worse than when you began. I don't want you to suffer through that and think the guitar is just too difficult.

Once you start practicing with new and creative mindsets, then you will no longer be disappointed at your playing. You will come home after playing for people, or after an exam, and your insides will be glowing with joy. You won't ever want to stop playing for people, and your skills on the guitar will just keep on getting better by the day.

These special practice methods are not easy to find. Google 'practicing guitar' and you'll get information that is often unreliable and even misleading. You could trove through books and eventually find this information for yourself, but that takes many years - I've done that work for you. Your teacher probably doesn't often talk about practice methods because you're spending so much time fixing problems in your lessons.

You won't make those huge leaps you're craving for unless you change your practice habits and mindsets. Don't waste any more time and make these changes now. Take lessons with me and I will give your practice the makeover you've been waiting for.

Testimonials

"Daniel is an excellent teacher whose methods are easy to understand and will do his best to answer any question you might have. His thorough knowledge of the guitar is evident and you can tell straight away that he has many years of experience under his sleeve. Do not think twice about getting a lesson with Daniel Nistico today, I highly recommend him!!!"
--- Alejandro, guitarist from Melbourne Australia

"Daniel was the first teacher I had that showed me how to become a true musician. His manner of teaching was clear, concise, and natural. This ease of communicating bridged the gap between theoretical concepts and the guitar, therefore allowing me not only to understand the concepts on a deeper level, but utilize them to create richer music."
--- Collin, Eastman School of Music guitar major

"Daniel is very knowledgeable about music from all periods. He's also very thoughtful in his criticism and is fun to work with in general."
--- Taro, Eastman School of Music guitar major

"Daniel's continually helped me to be a more musical musician on and off the guitar. His aptitude for analysing a players technique and prescribing the appropriate repertoire that caters to the wants of the individual whilst developing them is rare indeed. Daniel's more than a guitar teacher he's a technician, under his guidance my tone, time, technique and more have improved so, so very much."
--- Jeremy, Melbourne Polytechnic, guitar major

"I learned with Daniel at the Eastman School of Music for a whole year. During this time we went through the basics for classical guitar and we also did a few Sor studies. It was a very pleasant experience and I learned a lot."
--- Mohan, University of Rochester, non-music major

Meet your instructor

Daniel Nistico is a passionate performer, teacher and writer, who specializes in the performance practice of 18th and 19th century guitar music. Daniel's teaching and research aims to revitalize the concept of being a well-rounded musician, with emphasis on musical ideas that can lead to deeper interpretive understanding and tools for composing and improvising.

Daniel has performed across Australia, New Zealand, South America, North America, China and Europe. He has been described as "a truly gifted artist and soloist" (Christopher McGuire, Fort Worth Classic Guitar Society) and "a world class artist who plays at the highest levels of instrumental virtuosity" (Nicholas Goluses, Eastman School of Music). Daniel is also an enthusiastic chamber musician, frequently performing in Duo Vela with wife and duo partner Marla Nistico.

Daniel constantly strives to promote guitar music that has not had the fortune of being widely performed. His debut solo album 'Un Viaje Mistico... A Mystical Journey' is a result of this cause, containing hidden gems of the guitar's repertoire including works by English composer William Lovelady, and American composer John Anthony Lennon. Daniel's blog 'The Resourceful Guitarist’ disseminates rare method books, historical treatises, studies and pieces from earlier centuries. It includes the world premiere recording of '12 Etudes, Op. 40' by Leonard Schulz and the first publication of J.S. Bach's (so called) 'Lute Suites' for guitar. Daniel currently maintains a guitar studio exclusively online, with students from China, India, Australia, New Zealand, the USA and the Philippines.
