I still love the classical guitar which gives a warm nice dark sound tones when strum or pluck in patterns. Rolling chord options gives a very nice continuous sound movements of the pieces played. When roll together, thumb and rest of fingers still requires some practice for beginner guitarists. I used it more when playing chord melody options. Thanks for sharing an interesting guitar playing techniques in the classical world.

I really enjoyed this lesson on rolled chords.

Thanks for this video Simon, one thing I would have liked to hear is about the stylistic appropriateness of rolling chords, although I guess you have just demonstrated that music from all eras has the propensity for rolled chords.

Great video. I would say that one piece that kind of falls out of the “don’t use it all over the place” rule for the rolling chords is prelude no5 by Villalobos. Rolled chords are not indicated in the music sheet, but they sound quite nice placed all over the place. Otherwise block chords I think work against having a nice melody. But maybe that’s just me 😊

Third: Spanish Romance, often called “Jeux interdits” from the title of a 1952 French film in which it was featured Fourth: Concierto de Aranjuez, second movement Fifth: Bach Prelude in C minor, BWV 999, played in D minor for the guitar First and second… beats me.

Yes first is from a concerto by M Troster, I think, and the second was Evocacion by JL Merlin
