Heitor Villa Lobos - Etude No. 1

Here is me playing the great Etude No. 1 by composer Heitor Villa Lobos. As far as I can tell this is the first rendition on youtube played pick style on an acoustic. By no means a flawless take... Definitely not easy music to play with a pick. Makes you appreciate the fact that classical players have so much freedom with their right hand.

See my youtube lesson on alternate picking across multiple strings (titled Guitar Lesson - Alternate Picking Chords and Arpeggios) which is a required technique in order to play these sorts of pieces pick style.

Anyway, not sure why the video ended up with such weird color tone...

Later,

Brian

This is supposed to be a right hand study, which means the only purpose it's supposed to have is to develop the fingers. Playing with a pick just makes it sound muddy and contradicts it's intention. Not to mention how inefficient your left hand becomes with a pick

Nice! A lot of work with a pick? :) Posted my version a while ago, a bit sloppy though. :)

@cbrandom it's not about having to play with fingers, it is about it being sloppy. btw it's only 4 fingers.

@lamReptar hahahaha. go look up "hungarians do shred" and tell me if my picking is slow

[lamReptar]

@brownbigb Don't be a snob just because you prefer finger style rather than a pick. I bet you cannot do this with a pick. If it's one thing I've learned about classical players it's they are slow with a pick.
