This is pure gold for all of us out here, in the wild, working without a teacher. I've been struggling with this part of the piece for a long long time, but can now see light at the end of a tunnel, and most importantly some new inspiration. Thank you so much for posting!

Toni Kaila same here, this tips are truly priceless for us selftaught - amateur guitar players. Thank you very much.

I really admire Denis' flexible approach to fingerings both in the right and left hand - he encourages exploration of options for the student rather than insisting on rigid formulae

I was practising this piece every day. After watching I realized I was making similar mistakes as the student, my interpretation was too stiff. I'm absolutely mind blown by the improvement after following his advice. Thank you Mr. Azabagic!

If we want a sycophant there're escorts. When going to any lesson, for anything we want to be informed of our problem and given a practical, pragmatic solution. Your playing, sound and confidence grew during that lesson, that could be seen. For you to openly display this lesson is a measure of you as a person, not afraid to confront a problem, and you helped many others by doing so. I studied this at Sydney Conservatorium many years ago but this inspired me to put this piece back in the repertoire after a long spell from her. She really is a magical piece especially the Preludio Lento IMO. Thank you, Mr Azabagic for the great lesson.

Very grateful for this instruction. One commenter criticizes this teacher for dwelling on the topic of touch and pressure. This is an unfair criticism because the teacher faithfully stuck with his student and helped him with a very basic, fundamental issue. What good is phrasing if you're playing like a pig due to muscle fatigue? This piece requires stamina and great strength. If you can get through this with flow, comfortably, you're going to produce a piece of music that delights people and causes "musicians" to get butthurt. Stamina plus strength plus knowledge plus relaxation is the formula to yield mastery of this piece. He is a fine teacher, and I would have given a great deal to have had a teacher like him when I was coming up. I have benefited very much from this video. And if any of you approaching this piece for the first time think you can tame it using scholasticism alone, you will produce nothing but rank mediocrity. The music will never give up its secrets to you. Will never intercourse with you. A piece like this requires sacrifice and time. You'll think you know this piece well before true knowledge of it ever happens.

And I'd also like to add that the young man playing this piece did a fine job, it was beautiful except for a few obvious slips that in the future will be remedied by the instruction he was fortunate enough to nourish himself on.

***** hey man... great job playing this piece... quick question, where do you get your sheet music for this movement.. in the C section denis puts Bass notes on the melody and I can't find this anywhere. If you could hook me up with this, that would be awesome. - Nick, classical guitar, Dalhousie

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of this. I know exactly how surreal and intimidating a moment this must have been. This may have been very early in your preparation for this piece, as you point out, but you approached it soundly and knowledgeably. This has been a very difficult piece for me. I attempted it and abandoned it several times in the past before eventually making peace with it. What an amazing experience this must have been for you! Thank you again for sharing it with us.

@Michael Kagan, I am very impressed with your attitude as a student. I think you got more out of your time with Denis than some other videos I have seen. I love watching Denis teach. He has a way of zooming right into the most important things that a student needs at that time. He is so skilled at the guitar and yet he always shows such respect to his students.

I feel that all comments about this video class could be positive if we see them just like that, taking off what we don't need and keeping all good concepts..does anybodye knows more about "touch and pressure"? I'm preparing this alegro for an exam and would be nice to know more about the topic...thanks!

Why are they using photocopies? Is it not illegal to copy music? If not unethical?
@stephenlewis212410 жыл бұрын
I'm no lawyer but I think that if you buy the score you're entitled to make as many copies as you need for your own private study and performance. You may not sell those copies. That's illegal. There's absolutely nothing at all illegal with what these gentleman are doing, sir -- in my untutored opinion :)
@MrBlindmans10 жыл бұрын
Photocopying music is illegal,because you are stealing somebody's work. Even if you buy the printed score. Two wrongs dont make a right.
@EldritchGod66610 жыл бұрын
MrBlindmans I believe this falls under the Fair Use Doctrine of US Copyright Law. See 17 USC 107. Limited copies for academic use are typically OK.

Michael Young I gotta tell you, this post stimulated me to investigate this topic and I was a bit shocked to see how legally complex it is! I'm very glad there is such a vast legal code out there to protect our beloved artists after they have passed on and cannot protect themselves. And one thing I discovered in my researches is that these laws are in place not only to prevent intellectual theft but also to preserve the work's integrity and keep it from being changed.
