I've been playing guitar for 25+ years and really enjoy messing around with a classical I have and would like to have some formal training on it, but there doesn't seem to be anyone teaching it at the local music stores. Has anyone tried youtubing videos to learn something as complex as classical guitar?

Update: I went up to my local Guitar Center to talk to the guys there and the manager of the lesson dept said he plays classical and one of the teachers does as well and they'd love to have a student. So I'm pretty chuffed about it.

I still wouldn't mind hearing from folks who might know of some good online resources. I've found quite a few but not sure which are good/bad/indifferent.

Thanks!

1. Seems Like You Could

There's so much video on the net, seems like there should be lessons out there.

I like classical guitar too, but always had an issue with a very low quick. My nails start to look long and are hard to keep solid as soon as they actually reach the end of my fingertip. The right hand nails are so important to classical, and i'll never have that. So, i mess with it, but i never took is seriously because i knew that i was always going to be missing that critical piece.

2. I have no nails at all.

I'm a chewer (I know, gross).

But I manage to play fingerstyle pretty easily, though I'm no prodigy by any means. Just work at it
