Wow! I'm so glad this video was suggested to me by KZbin. It's like a gift from the universe 😊 I love counterpoint and I didn't know it had a name. I'm going to dig into this vivaciously!

Looks like your website is no longer with us. I've tried finding you a number of ways, to get the charts for these exercises. No luck.

[@garyreidmusic]

6:02 - if I can get lesson 1 exercise 1, I'll be so happy! I can strum rhythm and flat pick solos all day and night, but this stuff is...

[@davidwise4370]

I was wondering if you can talk a little bit about Andre Segovia.

[@bestaudio7315]

Is it possible to still get the lesson?

[@George-iz5pc]

For me is AL PACINO

[@laminebaazi6418]

hello im really interested in subscribing to these lessons and learning wholeheartedly. yet the website is offline. is there a way i can get them ditectly from you Christopher? thank you very much

[@biryaniofbodyhair]

Very good lesson, I was looking for a video on playing counterpoint on a bass and came across your video. Thanks for the upload.

[@aadityakiran_s]

How to improvise with counterpoint?

[@fkngzik]

Can you give the name of the pieces that are played in the background on the titles? Thanks

[@chrisvolakschannel699]

They are almost all from the same piece: Differencias sobre Guardame las Vacas, by Luys de Narvaez. It’s very old, dating from early 1500s, and can be found in many classical guitar anthologies. I think I also use one or two of my own arrangements of traditional carols. Hope this helps.

[@vadimzitsermusicianvlogcha3870]

I think,you give not counterpoint,but simple melody harmonizing by bass..

[@olajideafolalu938]

looking for ur site

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

I didn't like this video. I LOVED it. I'm starting piano, and counterpoint, and just saw a video on playing counterpoint on the piano. I also have a Uke, one with a high G and I just got one with a low G since I wanted to play bass notes. Et Voila. Merci beaucoup.

Are you kidding? Open strings? Show us some real stuff man!
