Cette étude sur guitare romantique est vraiment divine. Patrice

J'adore vous voir jouer des pièces que je travaille! Premièrement parce qu'elles sont toujours jouées à la perfection, mais aussi à cause de votre style, qui me rappelle que ce que je joue viens de beaucoup plus loin que la feuille de papier que je lis. Merci!

Toujours très agréable d'écouter tes interprétations de très grande qualité. PasStelleM

My first song on guitar. Such a lovely piece!

I used to play this one too long time ago... nice to remember good old time when trying to put the fingers on the guitar... ;-) Val

Lovely tune!

Merci pour cette magnifique interprétation ! J'étais guitariste et j'ai joué ce morceau avec beaucoup de passion. Nostalgie...

Wow that takes me back. I think I played that for an early exam in classical guitar!

9 years ago it was this very video that inspired me to learn the guitar and now can play along easily. Thank you, Luthval.

I like the way you play this, and the tone is amazing.

Extremely beautiful, very nicely played. I really like listening to your music. I wish I could play this as well. I have to start working on this piece. Keep on posting the good music. Splendid job. Vasu

Wow, nice work on this Carcassi piece. I am about half way through learning it and it was helpful to see your performance.

@GreenCertains Thank you very much ;-) Val.

wonderful tone!!!!! very warm.

Yes, a nice one... Thanks Regards Val

Very good, and thank you for posting it.

Very nice...i appreciate very much, thank you!

You're absolutely great!!! Really awesome & nice playing! I can feel Carcassi's style comes with the play and music!!!

Great! Thanks for the fine performance.

I have a crumbling old copy of Carcassi somewhere, and after this, I'll take a look at it with new eyes.

Wow you're great! I haven't heard anyone play this piece quite this well

Thanks, this guitar is so nice to play, and the low tension strings (Aquila Nylgut) are good to play with no nails. Regards, Val

Thanks a lot ! Val

Nice piece. I know it should be played a little bit faster but tremolo without nails is more difficult. All the best

@BrookClaytonRenwick All the guitar was restored to his original state by an expert. Now it is how it was built in 1800. Thanks for the comment. Val

Damn, I love this, I'm the 5th grade in elementary music school (I'm 15 btw) and I must say this is my favourite composition and Etude I have ever played , and you did a great job playing it .. I hope that I'll manage to play this fast eventually .

Merci beaucoup ;-) Cordialement Valéry

Look at my channel for the link to the restaurer of this guitar... Expensive ? no, according to the instrument quality... (not a chinese factory guitar.. of course)but less than some modern luthier guitars. Playing an historical guitar is an emotion that have no price... Thanks for listening. Best regards, Val

I think I used to play this a long time ago. It's a neat sounding tune and you played it very well, indeed.

I had an Höfner in the past, a Vienna model in maple, I love it... I wonder if I can find an used one some day. Val

I started this piece today, just a few hours ago. And you played it very well. Do you know Höfner-guitars? Are they any good? Because I'm thinking of buying one, not one of the expensive ones, though. Cheers Johannes

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@shnivler Thanks a lot ;-) About the guitar, look the info box, there is a link to the expert restorer were I bought it. Price is very different according to the maker, and many other points, expensive, yes, as historical instrument, but not more than a modern concert guitar by a luthier. Good luck ! Val

Hope you'll have a lot of fun playing guitar ! All the best Val

Thank you ;-) Val

Thanks a lot ;-) Val

Very nice! Saludos desde Uruguay!

;-) Thanks Val

Luthval is one of my all-time favorites.

Thanks Tim ;-) V.

@laserdudeman Thanks a lot ;-) V.

@ToonLinkTink Some people play it faster, so the same notes are played like an arpeggio. With nails it is easyer to play faster than without... V.

@oleskoolpunx Thanks ! V.

A little bit, helas not enough for this crazy world... Thanks Val

Lindo!

Well done. I ve been working on this piece for about a year

Thanks ! V. ;-)

Now basses are savarez white card and treble Aquila Nylgut (emulating gut strings) but I'll try soon original strings : gut and silk covered by silver (by Aquila). Val ;-)

wow, nice song to learn :D

Thanks ;-) V.

very nice!! I wonder If these were what Carcassi, Sor, Aguado, etc. performed on. I play classical guitar to but on a Manuel Rodriguez model e :( Wished I could afford one of those!

muito bonito..parabens...

Yes good study for tremolo... Val

Merci Patrice (Pour Carcassi et pour la guitare...) Il faudrait que je la travaille encore un peu pour accélérer un peu plus le tempo... (mais le trémolo sans ongles n'est pas évident) Amitiés Valéry

Thank god, I need to learn this piece for my next exam and have just watched the hillbilly breakneck version, The pace, tone and dynamics here are beautiful. I'm really looking forward to taking this on now. On a side note, what a beautiful guitar.

Thanks a lot, this one could be played a little bit faster... I'll try again later, but tremolo is difficult without nails. Val

I think Sor played Lacote guitars and Aguado is seen on a picture with a Laprevote one. Perhaps some Carulli's student could have play this one ? who knows... ;-) V.

Hi Danny, I'm just exploring all my "old" favorites on the guitar, easy stuff but fun to play it after so many years ;-) I'll try harder pieces after (if I can...) Val

Thanks a lot ;-)

I am considering playing this for a audition, but should I play it faster? I've heard different performances of it and I'm just curious.

what type of guitar is that?? it looks like a Sor day replica?? nice!!!

@GerryD007 Have fun with this piece, nice one to play ;-) Val

Thanks ;-) Salut de France ;-) Best whishes Val

I learned this song and have it down to this level in my opinion. Im looking for another song at about this same difficulty to learn, any suggestions?

Very nice. I am playing it too, but the last part it's very difficult. But I succeed. Helas not as wel as you, but I am working on it. Thank you for playing.

Yeh very famous. But not overplayed. Still liked it. At least you didn't rush through it; loved it! Best, jo

@rolumusic07 Merci beaucoup. Maitre c'est un bien grand mot, je suis un amateur, j'ai la chance d'avoir un peu de temps et quelques instruments, alors je partage mon plaisir de faire de la musique. Je ne joue rien d'excessivement complexe. J'aime bien le terme d'amateur, celui qui aime... Bonjour à la Guadeloupe ! Amitiés Valéry

perfect you need a music stand :) is gonna be cool for u

I start at 11 (long long time ago...) V. ;-)

@TheSkocik I've done a few ;-) Val

There are interesting music by Carcassi. everyone knows the study (this one and the n°3) but many other easy (and not so) pieces... Best Val

I would like to hear his study in a

@oceanmermaid07 This is a nice one to work on... And you can play it faster than I do... (I'm playing without nails and you can play faster with...) V.

where does one come by a guitar like that? also, i'd greatly appreciate any feedback on my performance on this piece on my channel.

@hergocin52 Thank you, check on YT the version by Gabriel Schebor (I think quite faster than mine) Video : lZ_0hVw4UGM Val

Wow, how do modern made guitars stand up to that one acousticly? What does this Sor have that you can't get? I imagine the old growth wood, + age makes it acousticly superior, but by how much? You obviously know a local guitar shop owner?

Well I find it a litle bit slow, and will try to play it faster, but no rush of course... (without nails it is difficult to play tremolo...) V.

No for me it is n°7, opus 60, 25 study from the Carcassi's method book. (perhaps plyed a little bit too slow... ) Thanks, Val

My technic is not a classical guitar technic, as I'm first a lutenist. I play guitar with lute technic, so don't take example on me... not offended at all ;-) Regards val

@juiceterry67 hello, Good luck with this piece. Perhaps it should be played a little bit faster ? (I can't go much faster because I'm playing without nails) V.

Merci c'est gentil. Je ne joue pas à la perfection, mais je fais de mon mieux. Ici par exemple ça devrait être joué plus rapidement (mais j'ai du mal avec le trémolo, sans ongles ce n'est pas facile) Val

Hi Val I'm italian and I'm a your fan :-D I start at 10 but I'm 13 now... It's useless to say that you're a god compared to me. Bye El Valsidor

Hello Claudio ! The guitar is an early romantic one, the expert said it was built in 1800, more or less 5 years, according to the shape, size, head end some construction details. See his web site (link in the info box on the right) Inside of the guitar there is an iron mark saying Rémy in Limoges (but is it the maker or the dealer)... Anyway nice sounding one ;-) Thanks, Val

well, it is not a replica, it is an original one from 1800. V. ;-)

Yes but quite fragile, I have to bring it back to the luthier for repairs (old gutiar needs close attention)

well played but, isn't this etude 9?

;-)

@checkoutmymusic420 Thank you very much, and enjoy playing ;-) All the best Valéry

@trimetaler ;-) try olive oil ! Thanks Val

No I had teachers and got to conservatory. V.

Thanks ;-)
