http://www.rockguitarpower.com/blog/playing-guitar-with-your-eyes-closed-a-le... - In this lesson I play the intro to "Asturias" by Isaac Albeniz. I talk about learning to play emotionally and to demonstrate it, I play with my eyes closed.

  • Nice video, dont get me wrong, you play very good, but in my humble opinion, there is a difference between playing emotionally and playing the song in the right way, I mean, you can play harder but keeping the flow and rhythm of the song at the same time.

    What I heard in your interpretation of this song, is trying to give your style but loosing the flow of the song as this song is basically playing one note continously while changing the other.

    It would be nice if you check Paco de Lucia's ver

  • @jeinnerabdel Thanks for the comment and I appreciate your honesty. This video was shot as I was still learning the piece and I agree it still needed much more work. I recently shot a full performance of the song after I put more time in: youtube(dot)com/watch?v=GGIswN­yvw2I

    Paco is one of my favorites and I've studied some of his flamenco pieces. The link you posted does not work. Any other way to see the video your talking about?

  • Thx so much. Honestly I thought that there was something wrong with my playing when I close my eyes and suddenly, just spontaneously, focus more on what I feel from hearing myself. New stuff comes to the mind. This is not how I hear the cover, this is not how I want it to sound, to fast, less seductive, thrilling, energetic, acid, soft, cold, cruel, or even empathic! My problem is that I get distracted with the emotion and start jumping along the song, make mistakes etc. Any solution for that?

  • @lankenfett I would say slow down. Make sure you can play every part of the song clean and correct at a snails pace. This will give you complete control over it. Then when you want to focus more on how your going to perform it, you won't be held back by playing wrong notes, wrong rhythms and bad technique

  • mad skills bro

  • @QShaque Thanks Q!
