How to do a "Double Stroke" on the Classical Guitar

[@hlgebben]

Great tip, Simon. I think I'll try that on a few pieces.

Thank you so much for your advice!

This is a good thing that i forgot even if can be done... Thanks for letting me know this skill

[@JaxonBurn]

What a cool tip! I never thought of doing something like that with La Catedral, but it makes sense to bring out that melodic line. Cheers man.

actually Parkening used the m finger twice on the incredible Romanza, m finger rest stroke on E string follow with the m finger free stroke on the second. He famous quote “rules are made to be broken!” !

Same with John Feely

" _m finger rest stroke on E string follow with the m finger free stroke on the second_ " that's exactly what he is suggesting here

Thank you

[@noodledream]

Please could you tell me the name of the piece you started playing at 0:57?

Hi Jordan, that is the first movement or "Preludio (Saudade)" from Agustin Barrios's La Catedral. The piece right after is Romanza. -Dave B

What are the names of pieces played here? I know he mentions them...but it would be nice to see the names of the pieces written out so I can get the PDFs

[@ClassicalGuitarCorner]

Hi there, the pieces are: 1. Agustin Barrios, "Preludio Saudade" from La Catedral 2. Anonymous, Romanza (also known as Spanish Romance or Romance d'Amour or Jeux Interdits) Happy playing!

Thank you. I’m very much enjoying your channel

Are cavatina & memories of Alhambra contrasting period??

[@JBert246]

Bass guitar players do something similar. They call it raking or finger raking. When alternating i and m and descending to a lower string, the finger that plays the high string then plays the next lower string, so no strict alternation.

[@chestermusicsocietyvirtual9121]

How about calling it a Combination Stroke, or Combination Free Stroke, or Combination Top Stroke?

[@ClassicalGuitarCorner]

Great suggestion!
