Boost Your Guitar WITHOUT Amplification (ft. Xuefei Yang)

[@ticovogt]

Thank you for your articulate and thoughtful talk.

[@eloisaarcos1495]

Stravinsky did write for guitar! In his piece dedicated to a jazz big band, there is a guitar part iirc!

[@josdurkstraful]

She said, holding a Smallman guitar, the loudest guitar there is 😊

[@Shushuganbei]

Wait until you hear a Steven Walter.

[@Doulos367]

Awesome guitarist great info.

[@sleazebee]

Anyone know what the name of the piece is that opens the video? Love that

What’s the problem with mic-ing a classical ?

[@luckybag6814]

Problems in mic-ing a guitar? Well, you have to buy a mic, an amplifier, cable - you have to cart them around with you, have electricity available (or risk batteries running out) and after all that, you probably won't get the beautiful acoustic sound of the guitar you spent all that time choosing and then saving for it. Otherwise, no problem.

[@MrWolfheart111]

Then you miss out on the beautiful acoustics of nature, really given the proper environment with an acoustic guitar, you wouldn't want an amp. I got a couple fav spots where the accoustics of the mountains and lake makes it sound heavenly.

[@00vTv00]

None, Rivera Sedona tube amps are specifically designed for this reason, they are fantastic for acoustic classical guitars and violins.

Así es nuestro instrumento. Así es hermoso. No hay que preocuparnos tanto.

I look at it like this: a ´high´note is something different for a male voice than for a woman, but it is still conceived as a high note within his register. Quite similar with dynamics. So a guitarist should establish his/her dynamic space and use both piano and forte - without loosing your tone. But of course, as the lady says, in a context with other instruments, you´ll need to stand on your toes, as an audience can´t help compare to the overall dynamic impression. This is one of the reasons why guitar students should play chamber music :) She also made two other points: 1. rest strokes project better. 2. Use your mind, fill up the room with your sound - eg while practicing in large rooms. You may add that if you want a next level challenge, practice outdoor - fill up a meadow with your sound with no resonance from walls...

"...without LOSING your tone."

[@peterferrydriver]

It is a fascinating monologue, but a bit of exemplary playing would be welcome.

1. Amplication is very hifi nowadays. When you listen to recorded guitar music, you use a hifi system which amplifies the CD signal, isn't it? One s 8:39 hould not reject amplification as unnatural. 2. Unlike what your theme is, it is all about volume. All your problems with nuances, lovely tones, are not problems if you amplify. 3. If you start quietly at the beginning of a crescendo, it will be too light to be audible. This is not a solution if low volume is the problem of the guitar. 4. Projection is empty talk. If you have volume like a violin (using amplification) you do not need projection. 5. You mentioned using amplification a few times (like your last statement) which contradicts your projection theme you started with. 6. Sound from an instrument comes from vibration of the front and back boards and even the sides of the instrument. Direct sound means the part that goes directly from the guitar to the listener. The indirect sound somehow would reach the listener after a few reflections at nearby wa 8:39 8:39 8:39 8:39 lls, which are a bit softer and with some relay (reverbration). 7. There were efforts to increase the volume of the guitar by increasing the board area, making the strutting differently, using lighter material like honeycomb, even using light weight metal like beryllium. They end up louder by lost the lovely sound of the wooden Torres guitar. 8. If you have heard violin played in an exhibition hall (not a concert hall), you don't have to go far from the player before you cannot hear the music. This is because the walls are far away. In this case, you need amplification. 9. When Domingo sings in a stadium, he uses amplification. 10. The conclusion is to use amplification if you need volume, guitar or otherwise. Period.

[@utubejuan]

Systematically broke it down 👏🏽

[@tekkamangrave]

When in a concert all other instruments you hear them directly their real sound. Then there comes a guitar where the sound comes from speakers hidden somewhere around you because unlike the others, the guitarist uses an amplifier. That's hardly called a good experience for the audience.

[@laurencejbelosevic3479]

Why not improve the type of amplification ?

[@Ponsdaniel]

El mayor clickbait de la historia, al final no dijo nada novedoso.

[@cantaclaro2]

At the end too much bread and butter …TB some time is too scholastic..

[@adrianburridge2378]

We all know the Guitar has it's limitations....it is up to the other Instruments to not drown us out...they are after all supposed to be Musicians with an ear!.... Sorry, but did not find this of much use...all a bit Pie in the Sky!

[@rafaguerrero6764]

Peor aún, termina diciendo lo contrario del título del vídeo!

[@PaulChaplo]

End: use amplification 😊

[@kostaskostas6224]

I wonder how many hours a day these guys spend on studying.....I mean physiologically it is not even sound to seat in such a posture every day.....anyways....also its quite unbelievable that guitarists like her when they play they never make blunders...which is scary....from a human standpoint even for a very experienced player.......

[@zhanghong541299]

I think, in many places, it should be 'forte', not '40/forty', since Xuefei is talking about dynamic and volume.

[@nidhishshivashankar4885]

Also bear not bat

Thank you for noticing! The subtitles were machine generated and they should be corrected now. -Jakob

[@MrRandyFlaggTDM]

wow she's incredibly articulate in english, super hard to do when you start with chinese.

[@DeerStreamMusic]

Black and abroad? Didn’t know you played guitar

[@BonafideToolJunkie]

My best song writing is done in the bathroom.

[@scottanderson6807]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[@qweasd60]

why compare a Bird with a bear? Just not necessairy - !

[@10String]

Any truly serious discussion of classical guitar projection would start from the advances made by Narciso Yepes, the basis of which is his positioning of the instrument. Xuefei Yang has nothing more relevant or more advanced to contribute concerning this topic.
