Student News – Paul Ketcham

Nail Repair for the Classical Guitarist
Proper nail care is essential for the classical guitarist. Even the most careful player will, on occasion, need to replace or repair a nail due to a crack or breakage. I’m sure there are many ideas on this subject and this is limited to what I’ve found works for me. I’m interested in other solutions Read More
