Another in a series of videos relating to interpreting and performing 19th-century guitar music. Aguado gave FIVE ways of playing a single bar of Sor's music. We have to get working on this, folks! Zoom lessons available at all levels! See rmclassicalguitar.com If you like what I do, why not "buy me a coffee" by making a donation to www.paypal.com/paypalme/Suppo... All donations go to help fund my free videos, research and websites - a sadly not-for-profit venture! Rob

Wonderful lesson! I love the embellishments on the repeats. Detailed demonstration of technical points. Beautiful tone production, now I am considering to cut my nails short. Thank You for sharing this lovely lesson Rob!

Great to hear from the magikpoloman! If you do cut your nails short, use very low-tension strings for a few months, or tune down a tone. The last thing you’d want is to get calluses. Allow the flesh time to get used to its new role. Only then should you start tuning back up. I’m using Savarez 52B here. Whatever you do, best wishes to yo!

This is a great lesson, love you videos and I've learned a lot just watching you play. I noticed that you've played material from William Leavitt and Mel Bay, as a teacher what guitar method book would you choose? I've read some are in favor Leavitt, others in favor of Mel Bay.

@RobMacKillop1 Жыл бұрын

Thanks. The Mel Bay book is huge and there is the concern that most people will get bored and look for other things, but it has more good solo pieces than Leavitt’s book, which is mainly a ‘learn to read’ book, and is also huge, but not quite as huge as the Mel Bay. Both books have pluses and minuses. I’ve used both with different students. Neither, though, will teach you anything about improvising and playing jazz, not a thing.

One beautiful example for varied repeats in Sor, is the Andante op 45, no.5 where the A section repeats with embellishments.

Gonna start looking out for these.

@RobMacKillop1 Жыл бұрын

Absolutely. But they are all over the place, once you start looking. It's part of his compositional technique.

@robertmac7833 Жыл бұрын

Those are amazing! I had never heard those variations on that piece before! That’s incredible! As far as variations, always outstanding in my mind is Chet Atkins variations on Arkansas Traveler : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9VznryhsJ_eZYk.html
