Lagrima Explained - Part 1 - The Right Hand Technique (Tarrega School) - Classical Guitar Lesson

The music for this lesson is available at http://www.guitar69.com/videos.html

"Lagrima" by Francisco Tarrega (1852-1909) is one of the classical guitar's most popular romantic pieces.

In this video, I demonstrate the right hand technique used in this piece - particularly the use of rest strokes, or apoyando.

Using rest strokes fluidly and creatively is one of the hallmarks of the "Tarrega School" of playing, represented by such great artists as Miguel Llobet, Augustin Barrios, Andres Segovia, Rey de la Torre, Oscar Ghiglia, Aldo Minella, Julian Bream, and John Williams - among many others. Please watch videos of these fine artists to see and hear how they use rest strokes in their interpretations.

Hi, where did you get this '93 Greg Byers

guitar? I've never heard of him and I'm

interested in getting one. The tone is very

beautiful.

hi - you can find Greg by googling "Greg Byers Luthier". Youtube does not allow me to put websites in these comments.

Best,

Kevin

By the way, your rest stroke sounds exactly like a piano. Just incredible sounding guitar and technique

[jazzpsalti]

Thanks, you sound really good. I'm trying to improve my steel string stroke tone, and your video has been priceless

Thank you so much for your excellent lesson. Your version is most excellent, so clean, expressive, and melodic. As a new classical gitarist I am very motivated by your playing. Much to learn! Thank you so much!

at 0:16 are you touching E11 D12 G 9 ?

[khasab]

Shouldn't the 2nd part start with a slide up to the C?

Thanks so much for your excellent explanation of your rest stroke technique. I am going to practice the technique using your approach to see if this will help me become more fluid.
