Using your Cordoba C5 classical guitar is a breeze. First, tune it using the Cordoba Gold tuning machines with pearl buttons. The 14:1 ratio makes it easy to get the right pitch. Hold the guitar with the body on your right thigh (if you're right - handed). Rest your left hand on the neck to fret the strings. Start strumming gently to get used to the feel. When not in use, keep it in a guitar case to protect it from dust and damage. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity as this can warp the wood. Clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to keep them sounding great. Check the truss rod occasionally to make sure the neck stays straight. If you need to change the strings, use Savarez Cristal Corum High Tension 500CJ strings for the best sound.
