<t>that's what i've been tought.<br/>
as for my experiment done, maybe it's true.<br/>
classical use nylon string that's not suitable for bending.<br/>
even if you bend it, you won't get the bending effect as much as steel string. it's really hard to get even 1/2 notes bending sound.<br/>

i had similar guitar too..
bought it just about AUD 80.
although it's mainly for acoustic, the pickup is quite sensitive as well.
i used to plug it on my pc to do some recording.

those guys in this industry actually connected i think.
ronnie james dio moved from Black Sabbath to Rainbow and then form his own band dio. Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Whitesnake all them are related to each other. but i think the most frequent member changed is Ozzy's Band.

at first, i seem to get blurred with this theory but after a while i got it.
it's major chords scale. I've learned it before by memorizing the pattern and by hearing as well (major do re mi). and now that i know it's called circle of fifth! thanx dude.

here's some simple arpeggios learned from my friend.
ok, let's take A minor as an example.
instead of clean plucking the full chords, try to run your finger and pick each notes in the full chords singularly. you can start from E5,A7,D7,G5,E5.
good luck!
