Easily the worst guitar tutorial on YouTube. This guy can barely play himself, plus he's a douche, plus he obviously knows pretty much nothing about classical music, plus the actual song sucks, it's sooooo simple, and it sounds NOTHING like classical guitar music
@AskingAlesanaReverse It takes little while to get the lingo down but you'll get to :) if you have an iPhone get the Tabs app from the app store and buy the guitar tools in app perchace. It's got all the chords, a metronome and a guitar tuner. And you can play chords on it too. It's pretty cool :p
When you go from to G to the G# diminished, I would have thought that was a G diminished.. Does the root go up a half step? Thanks for the vid, great progression
Great lesson-especially identifying the chord voicings from 0:50 a nice change from 1st position open chords or bar chord voicings..beginners & other stylist will certainly be able to learn and play some classical here in minutes-to non classical guitarist...go for it!..I sight read music well but if u don't..try classtab.org (tabs with audio& vid all levels of music -contains (tons) of well known pieces you often hear here on YT (beginner to master level) tabs for all(even left handed)
this was amazing. i try my hardest to keep learning all sorts of different music. this vid was a big help. for me from playing pantera, motley crue, cinderella, van halen, damage plan, ozzy, deep purple, neil young, pink floyd to even writing my own music im always there to learn more. ty very much. ive written some classical pieces but its nice to learn actual bach n shit. keep it up n ill keep tuning in
I hate it when people try to magnify classical guitar by over intellectualizing it's difficulty! "classical guitar". "You can't learn it at home...." Oh! I have to be in the presence of a classical guitar god of the world! Blah blah blah! Shut the fuck up!! "Classical guitarists" are some of the worst guitarists I have ever played with!
Why is that people with no classical guitar education whatsoever upload videos and call them "lessons"? Classical guitar is not blues, nor rock. You can't properly learn it at home. you need a good teacher and making a career out of it in order to be good. Someone needs to eradicate this kind of nocive videos.
@soullessSiIence You do not need a teacher to learn classical guitar. There are very good self taught musicians out there that play classical music. It just takes a lot of practice.
You doing a great job bro .. This might not be perfect but you are making a lot of people believe that they can play and pick up classical guitar picking .. the lesson was very easy lucid and encouraging !
It's easy to be an armchair critic via the anonymity of the internet, but the bottom line this was a beginner lesson and I'm certain beginners appreciate the effort and enthusiasm of this teacher. It's unbelievable how rude people can be when presented with anonymity and an audience; it makes me lose my faith in mankind.
@Yeti22 No no no it's not about anonymity it's about this guy. That someone who has clearly no idea of what he's talking about wants to give "lessons", that's what makes me lose faith in mankind. If a beginner would appreciate it or not doesn't even matter in this issue, since it's wrong technique and just random stuff with no concept behind it at all, and that does way more harm then good. Just imagine medicine students taught by some fool whose only medical source is Grey's Anatomy.
how dare you attempt to teach the classic guitar, calling it "fingerstyle". Where do they get these next level guitar people? also, why would you say that Beethoven would come up with something so elementary? He was perhaps the greatest musical genius of all time. go listen to his third symphony and realize how insignificant you are.
@Estonianwoodsman I think while it's pretty sweet for a new player to learn,
throwing a name around like Segovia or especially a name like Beethoven may be a bit over the top for this indeed. A bit like compairing playing power chords to playing full chords.
@ArcticGuardiaN Yeah, he's using the wrong fingers and has horrible posture. The way he uses his thumb though, it's like pulling the strings not resting it. Well look at the username. It's obviously some cheap scam to promote some shitty ass overrated company.
@ArcticGuardiaN Hey faggot. Why don't you take your troll friends and fuck off? This guy did a BEGINNER lesson and he did it well. It's pretty fucking hard to teach guitar and this buddy laid out a solid lesson. You're critique was rude, wrong, and stupid. Eat shit, loser
@Unithinker Hi there and thanks for your random insults. If you knew a little about playing the guitar you'd know that even complete beginners wouldn't profit from this "lesson", since they'd pick up wrong technique when imitating this guy. To give you a comparison, according to your profile you like to unicycle. If some guy on youtube couldn't cycle three feet without falling over, you wouldn't consider him a good teacher, would you?
@TheArcticGuardian Hahha, yes, I do like to unicycle. If you're so fantastic at guitar, how about you post a video teaching us to do the right technique? I'm willing to be proven wrong.
@ArcticGuardiaN Hi, I am curious to know what are some mistakes he is teaching in this video. I am interested in learning the classical guitar and do not want to pick up on bad habits. Please let me know what it is specifically in this video that is technically incorrect. Thanks!
@incronaut I'm Getting you a message on the subject. Just for the moment, that first piece is supposed to sound like this v=Oku0bMI2G1U&feature=related , and that's just a student's performance in a low quality video. I'm sure you'll notice the difference. You just don't learn classical that way, and if one wants to teach it like this, a terrible sound like the one of this dude is the first sign that you should go somwhere else if you're looking for instruction.
@thanxx My grandparents moved here from Scotland in the 40's so probably not. It wouldnt matter anyway seeing criminal attitudes aren't genetically attached and passed down through generations. And you're seriously claiming ownership over the English language? Thats like saying only Bill Gates can use a PC. One so hopelessly ignorant of his origins should not be so quick to insult anothers parentage.
Thanks, will go to David and Denis and check them out. Hopefully, this fellow in the video will get humbled soon and actually have to dsomething worthwhile to earn a living. It is amazing what a touch of humility can add to the life of an artist. I never ever met a superstar with a big ego who wasn't dead before age 30, and I met dozens. I also never met a superstar whos lived to see his old age who wasn't humble. And for my money, the classical guitar is a humbing instrument, not to be mocked.
BACH #1 SWEAT FOR CELLO!!! so everyone could see, anyway classical guitar is one of the most beautiful instruments in the world please listen to Denis Azabagic
or David Russell i'm really sorry but this guy should really take some classical guitar lessons before he tries to teach others PLEASE DON'T LEARN FROM THIS SORRY
@progressivelife while you're certainly correct about pointing out that this "lessons" are complete crap, please note that the Bach piece you meant is called a SUITE, a progression of dance movements, as opposed to sweat, that wet stuff that soaks your clothes when you work hard.
yarek, yeah, ur right, also called 'sheepgut' strings, cuz thats what they were made from in the last century. Classical can also refer to the style of playing as clas.... just how a violin is caled a fiddle if its used in country music.
Well, there actually are some differences between classical guitar technique and fingerstyle, since fingerstyle seems to refer more toward standard acoustic guitars. It's far less common to hear alternate or Travis picking on a classical guitar, and "fingerstyle" sounds less pretentious than "fingerpicking" sometimes.
I didn't go to a christain school and don't confuse my kindness for weakness. All you had to say in response to my first question was Bach's Cello Suite #1. I appreciated your lesson. But I spend my 20's 30's and 40's backing up people like Janis Joplin, Jerry Lee Lewis and jamming with the Allman Brothers. Classical guitar is just a hobby and I thought you did a good job of showing a beginning progression for a novice. I'm an old rich retired hard r&r musician, not just some kid with a guitar.
@lucadepu Oh thank you so much. I looked all over youtube for a piece entitled NO and all I could find was The Prelude to Bach's Cello Suite #1 by Michela Hedges I never realized there were such short nicknames to some of the classical pieces. You are too kind. You really should try to be a little more rude.
@barkalarcus I don't know if you got your answer but it's the really famous sweat #! for cello by Bach but anyway if you want to know anything about classical guitar you shouldn't learn from this guy. i'm sorry he looks like a nice person but this shouldn't be on youtube. completely wrong technique in every way sounds realllly bad
@barkalarcus In case he does not answer, it is the 1st movement of the Bach 1st Suite for Unaccompanied Cello. There are several guitar versions of it out. You would need one of those; the cello suite is in bass clef and it is also in the key of G. The guitar version is usually in D, as this one was.
@TheDragthewaters It's by Bach, a suite originally written for Cello. It's been transcribed to dropped D tuning. Cello suite number 1, apparently, but I'm not sure if this is correct. There are guitar versions in G also.
wow this guy is absolutely terrible! Get a method book bonehead!!! Segovia having beers....if you want to learn classical guitar.....watch anybody but this guy
you guys should do more with classical techniques..it's crucial to bring this stuff to people..it's both useful in modern music and incredibly captivating when you really dig into learning it
I just have to ask. Do any of you know what the song played at the beginning is? I know I've heard it quite a few times, and it would be nice to learn it.
Oh, thanks a bunch! You wouldn't happen to know where I can find some tabs? I wasn't able to find any. I've managed to find out parts of the song, but I'd rather see some correct tablature.
just search classical guitar prelude in D, bach, then find a video where is shows their hand and just watch that. I don't know where you could find tabs, most classical stuff like this is all on ledger lines.
the right hand position is wrong !, the thumb should try to be more horizontally, avoiding the up-down movement of your index and middle fingers, thats basic on classical guitar...
I studied classical guitar for a while. This guy is just playing by ear, he's not doing the proper tech as someone else noticed.
Class. guitar requires you to read music. The low E is 3 lines below the staff and the higher notes go several lines above the staff. It's challenging. You must read not only the note but also which fret and string it's played on. Learn to read music before tackling class-guitar!
Plenty good videos of classical guitar on YT. "Recuerdo del Alhambra" especially
I still study cllassical guitar infact I go to classical music school :) it's not true that someone who wants to play classical guitar has to read notes :) though he/she must learn to read if he's aiming on music school but you can play classical pieces by ear it's just a matter of choice if someone wants to play little classical but by the way, don't let the notes scare you :) it's not that had as it looks hehe :)
You're kidding right? The easiest pieces for beginners are still written in traditional notation therefore reading is ESSENTIAL.. You don't need to go to school but it helps to have a teacher and a classically trained teacher will show you proper hand position. A lot of chords in classical guitar cannot be played by ear bcause many are not in the root position.
It's true that classical training in guitar helps a lot for expression and technique as someone said.
I don't know why are you trying to fight :) I didn't mention anything about playing like real classical player or something like that, I just mentioned that if someone likes the sound of classical guitar or just likes playing classical songs its not rule that you need to play some classical song the way it is written Some one is playing guitar not profesionaly but just for fun and where is a problem if he learns song by ear because he LIKES it and he plays it for him and his kids or relatives :)
Are you saying that all the music that has been written is garbage, or are you saying that a good musician needs a good ear? Of course a good ear, and ear training are necessary, but the music that was written needs to be played the way it was written, not faked, out of respect for the composer and the public.
A good musician needs a good ear, you are totally right. I get what your saying, though, but I just think, that a musician is a better musician if he has GREAT ears and no knoowledge about theory, than turned around.=]
Ah we're coming to an agreement! Some of the best musicians in Blues, Jazz, Rumba and also popular singers, couldn't read music and didn't know music theory yet they had a great ear and made chords by instinct. Check out for ex Django Reinhardt, the genius of Gypsy jazz and get your mind blown away.
Conversely classically trained musicians are unable to improvise. That is because the approaches are different. In classical music you don't study harmony because you aren't required to improvise.
He doesn't even play the Bach prelude at the beginning of the video correctly

when you play Bach, don't reef on the bass notes so much... don't make the multiple voices so obvious to the listener.

@TheDragthewaters It's by Bach, a suite originally written for Cello. It's been transcribed to dropped D tuning. Cello suite number 1, apparently, but I'm not sure if this is correct. There are guitar versions in G also.

@GodsAthiest Thanks Bro!

@TheDragthewaters Bit more info. It's Cello suite no.1, the prelude section, BWV1007, transcribed to D from the original key.

Even after ten beers... Segovia wouldn't be able to manage to play with as little technique as this man.

you guys should do more with classical techniques..it's crucial to bring this stuff to people..it's both useful in modern music and incredibly captivating when you really dig into learning it

At least you have to be able to play properly to be able to make a lesson video. This is not in that category..

I just have to ask. Do any of you know what the song played at the beginning is? I know I've heard it quite a few times, and it would be nice to learn it.
ariades 2 years ago
Its a prelude in D major by Bach. Its a staple classical guitar piece ever since Segovia transcribed it for guitar.
Dose0fReality 2 years ago
Oh, thanks a bunch! You wouldn't happen to know where I can find some tabs? I wasn't able to find any. I've managed to find out parts of the song, but I'd rather see some correct tablature.
ariades 2 years ago
just search classical guitar prelude in D, bach, then find a video where is shows their hand and just watch that. I don't know where you could find tabs, most classical stuff like this is all on ledger lines.

the right hand position is wrong !, the thumb should try to be more horizontally, avoiding the up-down movement of your index and middle fingers, thats basic on classical guitar...

I studied classical guitar for a while. This guy is just playing by ear, he's not doing the proper tech as someone else noticed.
Class. guitar requires you to read music. The low E is 3 lines below the staff and the higher notes go several lines above the staff. It's challenging. You must read not only the note but also which fret and string it's played on. Learn to read music before tackling class-guitar!
Plenty good videos of classical guitar on YT. "Recuerdo del Alhambra" especially

I still study cllassical guitar infact I go to classical music school :) it's not true that someone who wants to play classical guitar has to read notes :) though he/she must learn to read if he's aiming on music school but you can play classical pieces by ear it's just a matter of choice if someone wants to play little classical but by the way, don't let the notes scare you :) it's not that had as it looks hehe :)
TenacMarke 2 years ago
You're kidding right? The easiest pieces for beginners are still written in traditional notation therefore reading is ESSENTIAL.. You don't need to go to school but it helps to have a teacher and a classically trained teacher will show you proper hand position. A lot of chords in classical guitar cannot be played by ear bcause many are not in the root position.
It's true that classical training in guitar helps a lot for expression and technique as someone said.
Khamomil 2 years ago
I don't know why are you trying to fight :) I didn't mention anything about playing like real classical player or something like that, I just mentioned that if someone likes the sound of classical guitar or just likes playing classical songs its not rule that you need to play some classical song the way it is written Some one is playing guitar not profesionaly but just for fun and where is a problem if he learns song by ear because he LIKES it and he plays it for him and his kids or relatives :)

Good music is made by ears, not by notes.
Kumoxi 2 years ago
Are you saying that all the music that has been written is garbage, or are you saying that a good musician needs a good ear? Of course a good ear, and ear training are necessary, but the music that was written needs to be played the way it was written, not faked, out of respect for the composer and the public.
Khamomil 2 years ago
A good musician needs a good ear, you are totally right. I get what your saying, though, but I just think, that a musician is a better musician if he has GREAT ears and no knoowledge about theory, than turned around.=]
I still get what your saying, though.
Kumoxi 2 years ago
Ah we're coming to an agreement! Some of the best musicians in Blues, Jazz, Rumba and also popular singers, couldn't read music and didn't know music theory yet they had a great ear and made chords by instinct. Check out for ex Django Reinhardt, the genius of Gypsy jazz and get your mind blown away.
Conversely classically trained musicians are unable to improvise. That is because the approaches are different. In classical music you don't study harmony because you aren't required to improvise.
