Have you mastered it?

Well, he can’t. The flamenco posture and the classical guitar one come from two different worlds. It’s almost like saying “pick up a folk guitar with metal strings and play asturias.” Also, if he held the guitar in the flamenco style he wouldn’t benefit from the opening to the neck that he has access to this way. Grisha is a wonderful player but you can’t make either one of them adopt the other’s posture. In this case, the instrument becomes more stabilized held as a classical guitar - which is wobbly when held as a flamenco guitar.

I think that you are right, most of these masterclasses aren't with his personal students. However, there are some individuals who have been recorded quite regularly, I believe this are his own students.

+review collector I think +Joel Salazar was referring to the student's own, personal private teacher (not Denis). The point is that the student played a piece a little out of his grasp.

yes, he should has to do more Carcassi, M. Guiliani, Aguado or F.Sor studies before tackling this Austria .

This student would do fine by simply dissecting the piece, add hurdles/difficulties, and focus on each section for a few days/weeks/months..... Remove the hurdles and find the musical passages simple/-er. By adopting Denis' process of isolation, he is on his way.

@@williambarabanitz3858 Yeah, exactly. From my own experience, when I played saxophone - if I always only played pieces "within my reach", I would have been stuck on that level forever. My teacher gave me difficult things, and taught me to understand my limitations and why I couldn't express what I wanted with the piece. So I could practice, and find a method to achieve what I wanted. That was the most valuable lesson I ever learned, and it's helped me a lot when I picked up the guitar for "fun" later in life (and in other fields). Because literally all good musicians I know have learned to run before they walked, basically, and not doing it "correctly". But what's happened is they have vividly realized that their technique wasn't good enough, and then gone back to the basics with a clear motivation. Instead of being forced to trudge through the astonishing bore of "going through the movements", before then magically emerging, in the most efficient way(tm) on the other side as a virtuoso. No musician I've heard play - I'm willing to be there was never a single one - worth more than a midi-playback from a keyboard have been produced (choosing my word on purpose here) with that method.

If you dont have a good word to say then keep quite .....everything is fixable he is good

@@adon9990 It's constructive criticism
