please for fingering dispute hear Segovia BWV saraband 996, see his intial fingerring, then watch all the other videos and HEAR how important is the fingering to toning/voicing. Also, spanish people and italians have that kind of rude tone heaheheh sorry but it´s my though

I think Michael learned much from this critique of a Master. Today, when you hear Micheal play..believe me his guitar sings beautiful, and it comes alive with joy and you feel the love of the music. Micheal is no shmuck today! Micheal got the lesson of his life, and lesson that changed his life for the better. Now, Micheal is the master...and I would love to be a student of his. He said to me "my playing was like a gymnast who had a bad Coach" I take his critique to heart...cause he is right!

[thesmartestofalltime]

@pmcmusik he did not learn anything he was just infected by Segovias prejudice

[Schufti17]

Which sonh did he played?

[BrazilianRoseweird]

Chapdelaine should of known better than to change the fingerings for a masterclass of Segovia. Did he really think Segovia was going to say, "Micheal you have shown me the flaws of my decades and decades of classical guitar experience."

[achislene]

It is important to remember that there are reasons for the fingerings that Segovia used as given in the pieces played, many of which he even transcribed for the guitar himself. Even MC admits that he was wrong by attempting to change the voice of the piece, which is what he did. Therein was his mistake, not solely with the fingering but in his entire approach to the music. Segovia saw that MC needed a haircut and gave him one. The idea was not to become the master, it was to learn from him.

[StealthGenius]

OK I think this guy is amazing. I would LOVE for him to be my teacher. I do the same thing all the time! I would play the way i feel sounds best. I always change other people's work to my liking. That is not a bad thing, otherwise we should just listen to computer generated music.

segovia got shot in the head.

1:21 Si Segovia dice "continue.." ¿porqué vuelve a comenzar desde el principio?

[Jemoh66]

@erikolten Thanks for the reply. Well I like your comment about his teachableness at least that brought him to that level; that's fair. But MC himself says he had only played for 3 or 4 years and was playing a piece by a man who has played the guitar for near 70 yrs. He was with Ponce he says when he wrote the piece. If he is as great as you say what did he seek an audience with the master? As for the being broken comment, just because a value is modern doesnt make it right.

[erikolten]

@Jemoh66 Sorry, I do not agree at all, nor do I believe Segovia was "The Master" MC earned his confidence and served up impeccable playing. Sure MC got abused, but he had already proven himself teachable by reaching the high level that he did. Segovia could have encouraged MC's artistic freedom, but insead we got crass rigidity. When does one ever need "to be broken"?? This is19th century BS... I certainly do not consider Segovia "The Master." Many players have given better stuff

[Jemoh66]

@erikolten It's interesting that Chapdeleine himself would disagree with you. It was misplaced confidence, and he knew it after being rebuked by the master. This is what he says in so many words. He needed to be broken in order to be teachable. Simple.

[woodyee]

Boy, leesohn!

[liszt80]

Segovia has a hole on the head, maybe his brain totally evaporated during this masterclass. Awful human being, just before the teacher and the musician.

[erikolten]

@BlindEyeJones I so totally agree with you.

[erikolten]

It's ironic in a pathetic way. Segovia followed his ideas to become what he was, yet he won't allow others the same liberty. We never needed another Segovia clone--pity Segovia chose to be so destructive. Thank goodness Bream, Russell, and now Galbraith and the others had the good sense to carve their own way away from AS and the he world is richer. Sure Segovia played the chaconne first on the guitar, but he sure hell didn't play it the best... None of AS interpretations are definitive IMO

[erikolten]

Segovia loses all credibility for me, first for never being able to play Bach well, and second for being a consummate ass to MC in this horrific video. Segovia is no god, that's for sure just a petty egomaniac. MC played beautifully and clearly invested so much to get to this very very high level. AS could have offered "constructive" critiques, yet, he chose to destroy well deserved confidence for no legitimate reason. Elevating the guitar does not give AS the right.  He sullied his legacy..

[TheMikelbaigo]

un verdadero maestro sabe transmitir con su espiritu y sensibilidad a la otra persona,para que ésta encuentre su propia manera de tocar ,su propia manera de transmitir lo que la música nace de él.y no esta cosa media dictatorial de que se debe hacer como yo digo o esta escrito,incluso puedes llegar a hacerle mucho daño a una persona con estas actitudes totalitarias....la música fluye,es respiración....y no creo que Segovia represente eso...mal todo mal....

[laguasa1]

che viejo loco.. lose es segovia y se ke es u nchingon pero che loko

[unghiata]

Grande rispetto per il Maestro ma com'era poco umano e comprensivo...

Un allievo prediletto da Segovia, Oscar Ghiglia, insegnava con la stessa ferocia e cattiveria pur non avendo la stessa classe e inciampando sulla chitarra spesso e volentieri!

Credo che di Segovia sia meglio ascoltarlo solo suonare.

[BlindEyeJones]

Michael obliviously didn't give Segovia what he wanted. On top of that Michael praised Segovia to the skies only to carve a career on the hippie guitar player circuit. Watch Michael's eyes and you will see the lies in his praise for Segovia, lies he can almost believe: that there is only one way to play Ponce. What Michael learned is that Segovia was an asshole and to go the other way: long hair, pop songs, etc. That was truly in his heart, to be an artist rather than a living shade to Segovia.

[etatetjan]

I am truly impressed and inspired by Michael especially in this clip. if viewing this from begining to end for the first time ever, as I did this evening, and you are truly passionate in your appreciation for, and connection with, each masterpiece you play, it is clearly seen here that Michael is the epidomy of forgetting how to play by the rules, and tranisitioning into playing by your heart. And therein, you find masterpieces played by a true master.

[kenkarsh]

Michael, you were brave. And you handled the criticism well. Too many students today just want to have their egos stroked. Sometimes (as Martín Prechtel said) you have to sit there like a cat taking a crap and take the criticism). I will agree that Michael is a great guitarist today and this experience that he went through can only contribute to that). And re: the other comments I read: stop the abusive name calling! More than one opinion can exist!!

[dr0berts]

Wow, what an impressive individual in Chapdelaine! He was able to get past the barbed wire packaging and receive the content of what Segovia delivered. I think that only an artist of the highest caliber could have done what he did.

[TheMarcos772]

que buen sonido!!!

Y Segovia lo podría a ver dejado interpretar la obra completa. QUIZÁS ÉSTA TRANSCRIPCIÓN ERA MEJOR QUE LA DE ÉL. Jaaja!
