do you think it would work well if the magnet of the sagework was on top of the side "walls" of the inside of the guitar? im asking this because my guitar is reasonably more thinner than the one shown in the video and that seems a really nice support!

Awesome thanks!!!!

Excellent Dankeschön

I am on a search for exercises like this to encourage correct positions as I restart the guitar. Thank you for a wonderfully thorough presentation of a great exercise.

CloudVocal's products are great. I have two of their mics and they're both stellar!

Great tips! My problem with scrape on the wound strings, however, is with my right hand thumb (no nails, flesh only) sliding a bit on the bass strings, enough to produce an unwanted noise, which is noticeable during recording. Any advice on that - polished strings or different thumb angle or maybe both? My La Bella 900 effectively keep the left-hand squeaks to a minimum but my sensitive Shure MV88 mic will pick up all that noise from the right hand fleshy thumb. Thanks! :-)

Beautifully played, thank you.

I guess it wouldn’t be too difficult to add a flat piece of cork to one of the clamps on the Murata to make it fit snugly on a raised fingerboard guitar. Maybe slide it underneath the transparent tube?

What an undertaking... and such clean playing!

this is the first "duet" in the method book so far that I've been able to play without any mistakes all the way through, so chuffed! :)

Thank you

I thank the LORD for your work. A true philanthropist. Thank you for sharing your Art.

It is a pleasure to find this piece, an intersection between the beautiful Chopin and the wonderful Tárrega. Thanks.

Hi Bradford, been enjoying the series of studies you have been doing which are always very informative Bravo!!! (some very tricky) , I have also spent some time revisiting the sagreras books (orig ed) to tidy up technique and just for fun... and noticed how focused the early lessons (BK1) are on the use of rest stroke including in this one the melody line. I have always been able to pick out melody lines using a quicker or firmer free stroke or quieter accomp. Whilst i use rest stroke sometimes on single melodic lines i find this one particularly difficult to achieve the unison required between the bass and melody notes at the same time usually ending with a slight split between them. Any advice on whether this is aspect of playing is worthy of focus ? .... Number 67 is so much easier to employ the rest stroke as it sits out on its own 🙂

Thanks for watching. Here's the link to my book: wernerguitareditions.com/products/grade1-repertoire-supplement-pdf This is for use after my Grade 1 Lesson Book: wernerguitareditions.com/products/classical-guitar-repertoire-lessons-grade-1

Thanks a lot it was too useful for me especially the player perspective part

Bravo

It was VERY encouraging for me to hear you say that most students can't move the 3rd finger independently at first, but that within a short time they begin to be able to. I have felt very discouraged at my inability to move this finger by itself as a beginner to the point where I start having doubts about whether I will ever get any better. This encourages me to keep going!

I am not a luthier, but I have considerable woodworking experience, and I wouldn't say I like the idea. I suspect any serious luthier would be offended by such an idea. Not for me.

Hi Maestro, I don't read musical notation, and I'm learning Gran Vals at the moment using tablature, I'm so happy to chance upon your walk throughs of said song, and I've subscribed because of this. I feel that the way you talk about the intricacies of the song is like I'm having a Guitar teacher friend who appeared magically to me in my time of need :D I love the good tip of moving the right plucking hand back towards the bridge to get a louder and clear Natural Harmonic, for I've found my harmonic is soft. at 10:20, I loved that you gave your inputs on the slide into the Barre, and you ditch the grace note slide for a solid placement. However I'll try to integrate the slide for I love the sound. at 13:25min, I felt that area is difficult for me with the chord changes but I think with practice , I can do it :D (Hopefully hahaha) the 14:12min mark where you found the portion most difficult, is where I am at now. I'm Slowly working my way through this part of the song. I will keep in mind your tip about Straight index finger for a better Barre. Thanks for a Great Video!!

❤

Bravo, sir!! This was a treat. The lessons that you gave for this whole series are additionally a great resource. I used to play some of these studies for sight-reading practice years ago, but never worked them up to a performance level as you have! Thank you kindly.

excellent!👍👍👍👍

Dear Bradford, Your work is great for anyone looking to learn the art of the guitar. I really enjoyed finding your website and all the material it contains. Best wishes from Florianópolis - Brazil!

Cảm ơn những màn trình diễn tuyệt vời của bạn. Đây là những nghiên cứu đáng để học tập❤❤❤

Bravo

Beautiful performance. I'll keep practicing with help from Werner's products. Who knows; maybe someday I'll play like this!👍

An absolute blessing of a master craft performance. Tone, precision, delightful execution - currently immersed in your bach presentations. That Douglass is exquisite!

I Enjoyed It. Thanks

I Like Gaspar Sans

A Lovely Piece. I Heard That Song Before From My Music Teacher

Ni A Very Nice Piece Of Music. I Heard That Piece Before From My Old Music Teacher.

Another music store in my town closed thanks to our govts policies. There may be one left. Very slim resources here, thank you so much.

Nicely played. It’s one of my daily warmup pieces to get my hands going and stay in technical shape.

I regard an etude that is not suited for public performance as a check to see if I can play it technically. Which doesn't mean perfectly at full speed. I need a lot of time to play something to perfection the way it satisfies me. That is why I am very selective about pieces that I really want in my repertoire and for which I am willing to invest time.

Beautiful peace of music. About three years too advanced for me. Steven

Thank you for your videos of Carcassi’s Études! Nice work!! I tried to do all 25 Études, one per week and it was... hard!

Pre-amp is needed for recording in my experience. Otherwise the pickup signal is weak. Do you have a pre-amp pedal you like?

Excellent playing...love these videos !

👋 🙏 (there's something very satisfying about this étude - it provides a fine end to the set 🙂)

Thank you very much Bradford, it was a brilliant series , you did a super job ,this one is bit of a beast !! What I took from this video for the moment is what you were saying at the end , to practice the piece at very slow , medium and fast tempos all in the one practice session ! I ve never done that , it’s always starting slow and building up the speed over time , great practice tip that !!

Such passion thank you

I'm trying to locate a very similar study with a pedal e that I had in a beginner guitar book once. Any ideas? (I should try to write out the notes I remember)

wheres the last piece, with the neck grooving?

Torn between getting a used c12 for ~$1700 or a made to order Brazillian guitar for ~$1600 since labor is cheaper there.

This piece was really good practice for transitioning between chords. For the troublesome A to B transition, I had to take out the chord shape and just practice hopping the 2nd finger over to B. I found that you've got to use your right thumb for the timing, holding A until the exact moment the thumb is about to hit the A string. I practiced that a couple hundred times, then went back to the piece 😅

Considering the size/weight/portability factor, I can’t think of a more elegant, versatile, and dynamic instrument than the acoustic/classical guitar. Absolutely heavenly pieces of equipment

Very review! Too bad JoLuck hasn't expanded to my area yet. Anyway will you do reviews for Albramha 7/8 size guitar, the Senorita series, would be appreciated!
