Sounds like a horse galloping free in the fields :))

[violaozim]

lovely piece

[christianprogrammer]

yea!!!!!! to Sal For the cutting edge "its easy heres are the chords" Tabs are a horrible crutch,,, No tabs in the real world its ... the song is in this key and the chord progression goes X Y Z... Just because you matched the numbers to metallica's song with the fret positions & strings on your guitar DOES NOT MEAN you can play!! Mr. Guitar hero Stick to the playstation

[pajinski1]

what are you even talking about...no tabs in the real world? you arent a good player if you read tablature? i know alot of people who learned how to play through tabs and they are excellent guitarists as well as writers, i dont know why you are so critical.

and i guess the music books that i have apparently dont exist in the real world since they contain tabs

[Armik01]

i lost what ur doing at the end, this is to hard for me and im a flamenco player lol.

[hersoveela]

The melody is a basic Alegria escobilla pattern in A-E7. I'm surprised you have not come across this melody as a flamenco player. In any case, the main point of this video is the technique itself at the beginning. The second bit is just a example. Ask your teacher. If you listen again closely I'm sure you will be able to pick out the melody. The alzapur is just an embellishment that is ADDED to this simple melody. Sorry if it came across as confusing.

cant follow the lasson I am crying here, don't have to money to go to spain I fee so misrable for me, No ope God send your angel help , faminco is my drug without it i loose my mind

[fabjan2006]

Thank you for your amazing lessons! :-)

[PICLex]

Thats an incredible piece of music. Does that piece continue?

[cleckheaton]

Great video. I like the camera angle which allows you to see the technique clearly - much better than learning method dvds which show the player in front of you so that right hand fingers are obscured.

[acousticore]

Now you see how Victor Wooten got his thumb technique

on the bass.

[domonkos]

Haha did julius rock the spoons? yeah last I checked music was not a competition. Cool video, I dont think my thumb bends that way though.

[hersoveela]

Come again?? Julius Caesar was probably better at playing the spoons than I am at playing the tin whistle. Better, worse. What does it all mean? Who really cares if Zakk Wylde is better than me anyway? I certainly don't. Better at what? Growing his hair or splitting his jeans? I really don't understand. Apples and oranges friend. Be sure to watch my other "not as good as" videos. I love your subjectivity. It makes my world go round just a bit faster. Thanks for visiting. Luv ya.

[MrTruthAddict]

@hersoveela Zakk Wylde sucks. Who's the idiot who compared you to him? Needs to be smacked

[metallirulz]

zakk wylde is better lmao

[PICLex]

hersoveela thanks for these excellent videos, now i have what i need to keep me busy for a thousand hours or so!

Such beautifull music!

[bluesguitarslinger]

I agree with herso when it comes to tablature. As a teacher I have mixed feelings about its usefulness in the real world of music. It's a great learning tool for the beginner. However, I usually start my students on learning how to sight read as soon as possible. I've done studio work for many years and honestly, you'll never see tablature in a professional musical setting. I'm not knocking it mind, just my two cents, thanks for listening. :)

[DonPaps]

U talking about 'real' music scores, that's what ppl should use instead of tabs rite?, I think what the master here is trying to tell is that u should put ur heart and ears, rather than follow something that's written. That's what I understood at least ...

[reconcha]

fantastico,tabs please!!

[hersoveela]

Why thank you reconcha.

Unfortunately tabs are not available for this exercise. I could write this down for you but I don't feel like it. Besides, we shoot tabs on sight in this neck of the woods. The chords are A and E7. The A chord is fingered with the 1st and 2nd fingers only, allowing the pinky to stretch and play some of the bass melody notes on the 4th and 5th strings. Use your ears and forget the damn tabs. It's not hard. OOOooohhh. Aren't I a meanie?

[fngrpckr]

WOW!
