Can I Play The Most Beautiful Classical Piece? (Capricho Arabe by Tarrega)

[@brandonacker]

Thanks so much for using my video for the demonstration, Marco! You're such an impressive musician and the tone you're getting out of that steel-string is fantastic. Congrats on your great channel. Cheers! Brandon

Exacly. Most beginners see pros and think: "Damn, (s)he's so talented". But the secret behind "talented" people is hours and hours of learning and practice. It's true, talent gives you a lot, but a hard working musician will almost always be better than a talented one that doesn't practice

[@Dethleffff]

I am also working on that piece and after two weeks I manage to play this first section at a pace of around 60 bpm (for eights) kind of consistently. I am a hobby guitar player and this is by far the hardest piece I have ever tried. My excursions into the second part are scary, the beginning of that is so hard with the bar grips in third fret and fingering to seventh fret... But this piece is so lovely, I don't care if it takes me half a year to play it properly :)

[@manfredbobski8114]

It took me 3 years of lessons, practicing 2 hours a day to start to attempt to play Capricho Arabe. It's my favorite piece as well

[@Bubbleuprubberdown]

It took me thirty years and a pandemic to revisit my guitar and this piece. Back ‘90 I was introduced to this song and it didn’t totally register for me. I felt it was to complicated. Then fast forward to December 2020… I dust off my guitar and find my sheet music. Three months later I figured out this piece. I’m still putting it together but I am further along compared to when I first attended to learn Capricho Arabe.

[@philvanderheit5985]

It's amazing to see how fast you get familiar with this piece ! It would be great to watch you playing the song at the end of the video in order to answer your question : "can I play ... ?" Thanks for sharing.

[@AndriyDerkachGuitar]

[@syhoang1342]

I can't believe the fact that I am still struggling with the pull off in the intro although I can play the other parts fine and you and other youtubers nailed like it was nothing

[@nickgreen4731]

Lovely, Marco. But - I think your chapter titles may be left over from a Jimi Hendrix video? No wonder I was confused! :-D

[@chehboubhoussam6003]

When I first started guitar 2 years ago I learned the intro very quickly , after six months of practice I learned the whole piece, the only thing that pisses me off is that I don't know the theoretical aspect of music

[@tv1alpha]

Love it , any tab on that, please 😊

[@hhccssrr]

Great job! Playing tarrega on a steel guitar should be a crime tho 🤣

[@GuitarguyRichard56]

Agreed!!

[@zakbraverman]

What a silly thing to say. It's great to play some classical pieces (I wouldn't try Bach, for example) on steel-string, just as it's great to play some blues or fingerstyle etc. on a nylon string. Sure, if you're gonna go full-on classical you should definitely get a nylon string guitar, and I'm surprised Marco doesn't have one. But experimenting with switching over is definitely useful and fun. I play Tarrega's Etude in Em on my steel string all the time and it sounds amazing.

[@hhccssrr]

@@zakbraverman I mean if your not harming someone else u can do whatever pleases u the most but idk it just feels awkward to me. Kinda like playing soccer wearing basketball sneakers if you will

[@zakbraverman]

@@hhccssrr True, haha. I think it depends on the piece, though. Tarrega sounds good on steel string, I think. Same with some other 19th century stuff. I'd love to hear Marco on a real classical guitar though.

[@MarcoCirillo]

I know. I don’t have a classical guitar atm and I really wanted to practice this soooo much! I think we should never limit ourself. I mean, it’s music. And, if it makes you feel good playing something who cares where and how you play it ... 🤷‍♂️🎸☀️

The second section in the key of F major is literally a pain(finger stretching and Barre chords). Going to be learning the third section in D major probably this week.

[@Xplisyt]

I believe it's best to learn songs in the key they're in. If you're going to practice difficult scales or chord shapes through a song, it's much more fun and interesting and speaking for myself, I always get greater sense of accomplishment. Practicing a shape/scale without context can become tedious very quickly. But in the end, to each their own. What matters the most is that you have fun doing it. Good luck man!

Why do you use a steelstring while most guitarist performing this piece use a nylonstring

[@ahmadnaser8192]

I was wondering the same thing! To be honest it sounds quite unique on a steel-string.

[@flatpigionn3127]

Because it’s a classical piece and classical guitars are nylon strings. And he’s not a classical guitarist so he’s not playing it with a classical guitars. Also to play them you need fingernails and the technique is very different. So it would be like him learning a new instrument for one piece.

[@davidcook3795]

@@flatpigionn3127 I use nails but many actually do not. Brandon Acker, the one playing in the small screen, has recently transitioned to no nails.

[@flatpigionn3127]

@@davidcook3795 he did that as an experiment. But no nails makes it very difficult to play technically challenging pieces, and also makes the tone sound bad(in my opinion).

[@markozinga]

@@MarcoCirillo stick with the steel strings. For those uncultured (like me) growing up with popular music the brightness that steel brings is my preference. Nylon sounds dull in comparison, even when played by a master.

[@S_dott]

Capricho arabe is definitely warmer sounding with a nylon strung guitar. I’d recommend it 100%

[@phanhuyduc2395]

I think it all depends on the hand of a guitarist. Steel string is as much capable of expressing feeling as nylon string, listen to these Blues legend and you know why. It is just we get used to listen to classical guitar using nylon for so long... Nylon string sound mellow warmer sure but steel string has better treble and more substain and lively..
