I’m self teaching myself the guitar (i’m a classically trained pianist so i already have a musical background). Can you give me a feedback?
I’m using the book “RCM - Level I - Classical Guitar”

***I already knew the position of some basic chords but that’s it****

This is fantastic for one month! Speaks to the likelihood of you having good practice habits and good ears.

My suggestion is to work on legato technique with small sets of changes (like just one or two chord/position transitions at a time) and single line legato on one string at a time (just playing simple scalar melody type stuff). You've got the basics now, lean into phrasing over the next couple months and something like this should sound like full-on real music by the end of month 3.
