Thanks to all of my subscribers for following this series of videos. We're at the end now. I really appreciate all of your constructive comments and encouragement. Any ideas what I should record next?! Now the playlist is complete I wonder what your top five favourite of Op.60 are? For the record mine are (in no order) 3,16,22,24 and 25. Ask me next week though and I might have changed my mind!
This study is possibly intended as the finale to all 25 played in a live setting. It certainly includes most of the techniques covered in the other 24, scales, arpeggios, thirds, slurs, control, balance, phrasing
etc etc. It's a bit of a monster really!

Brilliant!!....To learn all 25 of op.60 is an achievement in itself, but to commit to video with each piece played to this high standard is just something else!!... It stands as testament to your dedication to your skill as a guitarist...I can only dream about how chuffed you must be feeling...BRAVO!!..... Have a great Christmas. Peace & love 👏👏✌️

Hey.. I forgot to to add my suggestion for your future recordings which would be the Fernando Sor 24 progressive studies Op.31. Maybe?? Oh,, & my favourite piece of the Carcassi is definitely this one.

@mattie5161 5 жыл бұрын

Or, your take on Gaspar Sanz Suite Espanola would be nice....I've been playing some of these but they're trickier than one would think to make sound quite right (simple but deceptively difficult (for me at any rate)....whatever you do David, us subs will enjoy & be inspired.. All the best AggabaggA/Matt

If you have Spotify you can hear me playing Sanz on the Spanish Guitar Encores album. Mind you. . I recorded it 18 years ago! !

Just had a listen to that on spotify (a few times actually) Excellent! I especially enjoyed your interpretation of the Gallarda y Villano (God! I love that piece!)... My only gripe is the one I'm working on at the mo wasn't included,, Folias,, I'm attempting to get the ornamentation up to scratch like Narciso Yepes..............I may be some time!!!!

Loved it!! The FIREWORKS!! The pyrotechnics!! Just showcases Carcassi's brilliancy!! I've been SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWLY working my way through opus 60 for years. This piece is the icing on the cupcake! I tried it once, but got bogged down in the difficulty of it. I figured better go back to the start and work my way logically and progressively toward the end. Patience! Ahhhhhhhh! Patience and persistence! The reward comes after patience and persistence is followed for years of dedicated work. And when my inspiration lags, I come to this sterling performance, and I am re-energized. Only thing I would suggest is PLEASE let us see the left hand throughout the entire piece. I want to see the left hand to see the fingerings. When the camera cuts away, the cameraman has FORGOTTEN us guitar students out here in Y'tube land. We don't care for fancy shots. We just want to be able to watch the hands.

Here's my personal top 5 (albeit to play, rather than to listen to, and caveating I have only learnt ~60% of the opus!), in order of appearance: No 5: satisfying to play, like the ending. No 6: again, quite satisfying/addictive, nice ending No 7: it has quite a bold/energetic (almost aggressive?) character which few pieces have No 9: just a fun piece No 25: equal parts difficult and rewarding to learn. Nice to return to every once in a while to see how your playing has (hopefully!) improved

Carcassi, Sor, Carulli are amazing pieces to play in concert for discerning guitarists. For Amateurs who would like to play for small audiences I suggest pieces like Tears in Heaven and in that genre. Short, sweet, easily recognized and are charming! I hope this helps. You are just amazing. I like the back drop of the Church. Julian Bream used to do the same. Very good acoustics

Enjoyed the series very muich, thank you! It introduced me to a lot of pieces I had never heard. As for the next series, any thoughts on Carulli? There is more to his music than the well known Anante in A minor. He does some great beginner pieces, and I played many of them in the 80s when I was getting started with guitar. Another I enjoyed was John Dowland (a baroque lute player), although I don't think I have heard any recordings of his music before.

Did you have to gradually build up speed with metronome and all that , usually a slow process ! I had a look at the score and tried the first bar , the right hand fingering s would need careful planning but to get the piece to your level would take savage work ,did you play this before you did this series of lessons ?
