Apostolos Apostolidis greek folk guitar 1st lesson

[@andrewperros984]

If you feel overwhelmed by this lesson, play it half speed and record the notes in a tab format. Focus on one short segment at a time and once comfortable, move to the next. You will eventually find the note repetition in scales will help and it will start to flow. Keep at it, bit by bit and you will be rewarded with a wonderful piece of music.

[@doriangits3886]

How do you record notes in a tab format? I'm struggling but it's really nice lesson thank you!!

[@andrewperros984]

There is something called AnthemScore or otherwise make a record of the notes by ear. It can be done with patience.

[@chrissoares8062]

Thanks for the tips!

[@MrShadyMustafa]

FROM ALEXANDRIA EGYPT I PLAYED IT AND I'M VERY HAPPY 😍😍 THANK YOUUUUU!!!

[@flexwinggpipi]

Whenever we visit the Greek islands. Usually Crete. I take my 3/4 baby Taylor and play in bars casually . sometimes for drinks. But always western music. I so want to learn some trad Greek tune instrumentals like this. ευχαριστώ Nick

[@hermesverhaegen]

Dear Apostolos. You are my new hero. Thanks!!!

[@nicholasmorris9341]

Apostolos, thank you so much for the lessons and in English... my Greek is not so good. Please do "Kai yati the mas to les". The lessons are set up so well. Melody, fast slow, the rhythm, the chords, the "streets" Perfect! Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ, Νίκος Μουρτζίκος

[@adamt5986]

Thanks so much! I am reading “birds without wings” and wanted to know what a cantada was all about. I searched KZbin and found a lot of lousy music videos but then I found yours. This video brought me back to music I had heard and loved years ago, without knowing the name or cultural relevance. Superb!

[@mpoulout_]

Great videos! Thanks a lot for this initiative. Looking forwards to new ones.

[@bluenotechr]

thx for the lesson Tolis and nice T shirt by the way

[@MegaMayday16]

thank you! efxaristo poli. but i have to watch in half speed to understandt :D

[@DrMarkHussey]

Excellent, would enjoy a collaboration. I have recently released a book for classical guitar called Spirit of the Greeks

[@shpixi]

...imagine if mr.Apostolos makes a simple version for - ''Kaimó més' stin kardoúla mou'' Click thumbs up maybe we get lucky :P

[@eman610]

Although you played it slow to your standard, it was a bit too fast for me. Would you happen to have the sheet music or tablature you would be willing to share with us? Σε παρακαλω? :)

[@drinkingineasterneurope6947]

rhythm at 7min sounds like gorillaz clint eastwood xD

[@s.spiegel3032]

And also: Is the proper tempo at the end roughtly 100 bpm?

[@louistracy6964]

Pinkie or thumb for those cut-offs? Lovely tutorial, manga mou, I will practice.

[@apostolosapostolidis1084]

it depends on the strings you want to cut off and on which chord do you play. For example if you play Dm you have to use your ring finger but when you play an Am chord you use your pinkie for the fifth and fourth string and your thumb for the low E string.

[@louistracy6964]

@@apostolosapostolidis1084 Thank you.

[@derrik-bosse]

ok where's the beginning of the melody?

[@Apollonia93]

Μπρἀβο!!!

[@Alekos_dpi]

Πρόσεξε λίγο τις εναλλαγές στην ένταση του ήχου στο βίντεο. Ευχαριστώ πολύ . !!!

[@Ernest2006]

Hello ! I want to know what is the kind of your guitar ? Or it's name please

[@apostolosapostolidis1084]

it's an Apartian (the name of the luthier) guitar made somewhere in the 50's

[@s.spiegel3032]

Thanks for the Video(s) - I really dig them. M'aresoun poly! But I don't quite understand what frets you are holding with the barre chord (rhythm guitar). Could you explain please? It's D minor, right? So we need D, F, A - but where do you get the A from?

[@apostolosapostolidis1084]

Hi Alex. Firts of all thanks for watching my videos. On the question you asked I'm not using a barre chord. I have tuned my low E string to D and I' m playing a rhythm pattern based in my three last strings (D A D). I'm also playing a bass line according to the melody in the third part of it. If you can read music you can find the rhythm pattern at the 6:18 of the video. I hope I helped you

[@peterlustig3966]

Perfect video. Thanks a lot. Your guitar looks and sounds really nice . Could you tell me what kind it is? Is drop d tuning typical for rembetiko rythm guitar?

[@lucasabrams1828]

Peter Lustig His guitar is probably a traditional handmade guitar made by Greek luthiers specialized in rembetiko music. It’s very close yet very far from a parlor-classical guitar. It has silver strings and parallel bracing. Greek folk guitar playing focuses in the use of bass lines as well as rhythm playing. The use of drop d tuning is common for some songs. Mr Apostolidis is doing an excellent job and you may also want to check out mr Dimitris Mystakidis for additional information.

[@ButthurtImmigrant]

What’s the tuning of your guitar?

[@apostolosapostolidis1084]

The lead guitar is tuned in standard tuning and the rhythm in dropped D (D A D G B E)

[@ΣωκρατηςΣγουρος-ξ8β]

Η κιθάρα από ποιον έχει κατασκευαστεί?

[@nirsade4392]

nice lesson, thank you:) is there any books in english that teach the rembetiko "scales"?

[@apostolosapostolidis1084]

As far as i know i'm afraid there is not.

[@lucifersson1306]

there is one site that has a scale generator for bouzouki (4-string and 3-string), but you can take the notes and apply them at a guitar (The site has an english option so you will find your way) www.bouzouksis.com/3str.php?lang=en

[@RonanMcH]

I found this book for rebetiko guitar: fagottobooks.gr/en/501-19_979-0-69150-252-5.html

[@jamalito84]

Απόστολε έχω μια παρατήρηση.Ειναι πολύ καλή η ιδέα σου να ανεβάσεις τα βίντεο σου στα Αγγλικά αλλα αν δεν έψαχνα στο KZbin για Greek folk guitar δεν θα έπεφτα ποτε πάνω τους.Με αποτέλεσμα αν κάποιος ψάχνει μεθοδο εκμαθισης,συνοδευτικη κιθαρα και τραγούδια με λαϊκή κιθάρα να μην τα βρει ποτε.Αυτα και περιμένουμε καρτερικα τα επομενα
