I´ve been practising some imi,ia,ma variations for pieces like "sarabande,bourrée etc" according to suggestions in a note-book,keeping complete concentration on this though makes me loose touch with the expression of the music and how i feel about what i´m playing,but it also sometimes makes it more fun.Can one really talk about a "correct" fingering for each individual,and more,the right hand fingering is,of course depending on what left hand fingering you use,no one has the same.

@laskafamous I don't think there are absolute "correct" fingerings, just intelligent ones that work well. I sometimes tell my students to work out precise fingerings and 'play like a robot' just to get the technique secure. This can be like a meditation - free from anxiety and enjoyable. Once the hands are trained you can then put your heart and soul into it! Sounds like you know this already!

[Bridge102]

'A capitol crime to use the same finger for several notes'? Ha ha, lol! Well, it's not great and it will limit your RH technical development. Try to persevere with alternating fingers and occasionally use the 'a' if notes cross the top 3 strings. Good luck!

the right-hand thecnique here is of course,essential.But as for other pieces like "allemande" from bwv 996,well, ihave a book where p i m a is clearly written out for each note,i follow that only for a bit,then i go by feeling,not even aware of what fingers i use,i enjoy playing that way.Does it really have to be so strictly organized as in the book?

[Bridge102]

@gipcarp I used to learn Bach pieces with all right hand fingering prescribed. It's a good training for the right hand and a good discipline to analyse how the fingers operate and to be in charge of what fingers you are using. However, once enough of this work has been established the right hand ought to have enough 'intelligence' to take care of things without needing fingering on every note. That said, it is still often necessary to decide specific RH fingering for certain passages.

this vid really help me to play this song . Your are truely a gifted and talented musician !

[vlbansil]

Your style is one of the cleanest one I've heard, wish I could play this.

[TheDominoni]

E' un'esecuzione magistrale, lo stacco dal minore/maggiore del brano di Tarrega non fa travisare errori nemmeno sul tremolo.

Excellent tremolo... I think, the best Recuerdos de la Alhambra is that video.

And I want to ask it: Did you made a mistake between 1:32 - 1:37 ?

I remember when this came out on the GuitarTechniques DVD. Thanks Bridget this is fantastic!

[eliasatron]

Fantastically played. You get a star.

[Gitanoz]

Excellent!

After years of playing this piece I don't find the tremolo a problem but the legatos are!

[Saros1010]

It's.. so beautiful, makes me cry.. a piece of art
