When teaching and learning hit then hold the same pulse , the clouds part to reveal the sun and its surrounding stars ..🙏🏼

[@eduardobenassi3072]

Your channel is so underrated. I've been watching some of your older Sor content, it's phenomenal. By the way, you play it almost exactly the same way I do... sometimes I like the 1:54 Ab on the 3rd string with a little vibrato. It has to be real subtle delicate or it just sounds a bit strange, and it kinda depends on the instrument.

[@davidjaggs]

Thanks for your kind words, Eduardo. Glad we agree on the A flat!

[@jaycee6996]

That was extremely helpful. I have played the piece for years and I was not really thinking it through or examining my playing critically so this was a great wake up call.

[@davidjaggs]

Oh, that's great. Thanks for watching 👍🙏🙂

Thanks for this David. This is a lovely little miniature and actually needs very sensitive interpretation.

Great lesson and playing David. The first time I heard this was at the Spanish Guitar Centre in Bristol. I was buying a new classical and I asked the owner Chris Gilbert if he would play something as I was quite new to classical. He played Lagrima. It sounded so good I bought the guitar and still play it 👍

[@davidjaggs]

And Adelita too I guess! Thanks for watching 👍

[@paulh1724]

@@davidjaggs He probably did. Tarrega wrote some beautiful pieces for CG. Estudio #2 my first Tarrega peice I think

I meant you playing it!

[@paulh1724]

@@davidjaggs I have to admit, I quite like note separation 3:05 Do you try to avoid it yourself or just not over use it?

[@ericphillips7057]

Great tips! This piece seems like the perfect piece to teach musicality and interpretation, since the technique needed doesn’t get in the way for most guitarists. Keep these wonderful videos coming, please!

[@davidjaggs]

Thanks, will do!

[@richardstones6445]

Beautiful. I love the thoughtful way you apply dramatic emphasis/variations to make a more cogent arrangement, giving the various voices their proper balance within this beautiful teardrop of a piece. LA-grima by TAR-rega.

[@davidjaggs]

Thanks Richard. Every guitarist should play this one!

[@JohnnyUtah26]

fantastic playing.

Fabulous teaching, great learning from you. Just discovered your trove and hope you haven't abandoned the project.

I'm still here! Take a look at the short tutorials....

[@jillyhoward4920]

What a beautiful piece and i found your tips and intruction really interesting. I dont play but I enjoy hearing you explain how you interpret the music to achieve such a beautiful result . Thank you. Looking forward to more👏👏🫶

[@ClaudioPallone]

great ideas. thanks

[@davidjaggs]

[@jacquesfarmer1171]

This is a great piece to revisit because there are so many different parts. I love the idea of rest strokes played with the A finger and the glissando towards the end of the piece. Awesome thank you.

[@davidjaggs]

Thanks for watching, Jacques. 😊🙏

[@fuffy442]

I tried learning this piece last summer, but it was premature. I'd only been playing for a year and a half. This video has inspired me to dig this piece up again and give is good solid whack.

[@davidjaggs]

You can do it!!

[@taylfut1]

Fantastically wonderful!

[@davidjaggs]

Thanks 👍🙏

[@user-ql2nf1us3g]

Greetings. Talking to music of the piece, i should say that fitst notes are like sighs, weeps. It correspond to the name of piece "Lagrima" (Tear).

[@davidjaggs]

You are correct. 👍😊

[@user-ql2nf1us3g]

@@davidjaggs Thanks for understanding and recieve respect for your art of playing guitar. Only recently i opened it and your name for myself. Excuse my English. Aguado-Arcas-Tarrega-Pujol-Sagreras? :)

[@rayeblake7767]

I thought I had this piece under my belt but I’ve just spent nearly 2 hrs revisiting it and realising just how sloppy I’d become and how many ways I still could improve on it. Also good exercise to revisit and re-read the score. 🥴 I’ll keep coming back to this video. Thanks David.

[@davidjaggs]

Keep up the good work, Raye!!

[@snowfiresunwind]

Great video with some fine tips. I (and I expect most classical guitarists) always enjoy playing this piece. Any chance you could do a similar video on Adelita - a tune that I find is more difficult to play than it sounds? PS: when a tune/phrase repeats can you think of a tune where you might play quieter first and then louder (as opposed to the normal louder first and then quieter for the repeat or echo effect)?

[@davidjaggs]

Yes, that's a possibility. As a performer it's up to you to decide, if you like it, try it!

[@realcygnus]

Wonderful !

Hi David, you've made DVDs which demos I've watched on your YT. Wouldn't it be a good idea to make digital downloads available for purchase? For people like me that don't livein the EU it's too much of a hassle receiving a physical copy. Most laptop and PCs don't have a DVD/CD player anymore, anyway. Yet, I've always been interested to see the full films you made.

[@davidjaggs]

Hi there! There's only one DVD I made, the John Mills one called Evolucion. Every thing else is either on KZbin or available digitally through my websites. I hope this helps!

[@JIMCRISP4927]

Brilliant lesson. Are there any disadvantages to using lightly polished bass strings to avoid the squeaks?
