Classical Guitar Tutorial: Asturias by Isaac Albeniz

[Deyronapriest]

Midle and index finger play apoyando or tirando?

[wessimsara]

the tempo of the melody is wrong it should be more faster

[gandartdesign]

You know what ? This part is verry simple, all the people who learn it put a video tutorial. Why don't you show us how to play the others part of the song ? Or it can be diffcult to you to learn it ?

[weasel4915]

i think you're playing half tempo

[guitar2adam]

@weasel4915 I don't like that most people try to play it as fast as they can. And often they get to the triplet section and slow down, which bothers me a lot. Just my thoughts. I like to be expressive even with fast music.

[weasel4915]

@guitar2adam Try Ana Vidovic's cover of it.

She's a world class guitarist, but she plays it at tempo and cleanly using the technique you don't like (although she uses alternating free stroke when there aren't two notes to play simultaneously in the treble).

I don't think you should necessarily discourage your viewers from playing it fast - once they've spent many years perfecting their right hand technique and playing the song at half tempo to learn the expressions correctly :P

[Nordenzgaard]

i was wondering if you could make a video about how you're shaping your nails?

[guitar2adam]

@Nordenzgaard i already did! it's tutorial tuesday #3. (this video is #12)

[1loudninja]

Hey, how long did this take you to learn?

[guitar2adam]

@1loudninja that's a really hard question to answer because "learn" is a very subjective word. I originally memorized the music when I was ~16, but my technique wasn't very good. I revisited it when I was studying guitar performance at university and learned it to a level where it was 99% perfect and I played it at my senior recital. I'd say overall I've probably spent 50 hours of my life practicing and playing this piece.

[MrLegendarygeek]

I just love your nails xD

[roybams]

[AquaLollipopGirl]

My mom loves classical guitar and she wants me to play Asturias for her birthday but she wants me to play the whole song not just 1st and 2nd part. but this vid will at least get me started=)

[Imagine1350]

So do you play the piano too?

[guitar2adam]

@Imagine1350 i took piano lessons for 6 years before I got my first guitar. i never played asturias on piano though

[Imagine1350]

@guitar2adam You should post some videos of your piano playing too! I'm sure you'll be great! =)

[JHJH007]

[guitar2adam]

@JHJH007 ...in what way?

[JHJH007]

@guitar2adam Cant get the speed right :(

[guitar2adam]

@JHJH007 ...in what way?

[zaraka2]

amazing how powerful your videos are ! this piece is very hard, but you learned this little bit to me in like 20 minutes ! the "Here's what you'll be able to play after this video is always good !" maybe a bit more classical feeling in it ? awesome !

[thepianoaddict]

my dad can play that =D

[symplytheone]

very nice!
