I did the same thing when I was first starting. Always listened, copied, etc. Now I don't listen as much, but it seems different. I think as you get better as a player you get better as a listener. You begin to notice things that might not have popped out to your ear before. -CD Malaina, thanks for the comment. I did the same thing when I was first starting.

I started classical guitar with the Suzuki method and have been playing for years. I think it's vital to listen to other performers play the piece you are learning; I imitate interpretations by other performers all the time. Before performing a Tarrega piece I listened to the segovia recording and copied (at least tried to copy) some of his interpretations of dynamics and timing of the piece. I like listening on my Ipod while looking at the score. Hey, I found your blog a while back and think it’s neat. I started classical guitar with the Suzuki method and have been playing for years.
