Five Guitar Exercises I Practiced When I Was a Beginner

[@umaastrology3607]

Wishing you happiest congratulations for becoming a dad and continue giving good lessons

[@MarcoCirillo]

Thanks a lot Uma ☀️🎸

[@leewaite789]

I’m learning guitar at 55yrs old and want to be able to play things I feel ! Some these classical pieces just resonate inside of me just like some acoustic blues does too and you show they can be just as sweet on a steel string guitar 😳👍🏻👍🏻

[@kckong3]

congratulations on being a father! I always had a feeling that classical training would give one a solid foundation to build on & you're proof of that! I guess you trained with a classical guitar too ... when did you move on to steel string & electrics. Would be an idea to make a video of your guitar journey

[@erwinfernandes750]

Congrats on the new joyful arrival. The first classical piece was hair raising. The tonal quality of your guitar playing has inspired me to learn guitar at this late age. Hope you continue to inspire others. God Bless you and your family.

[@goveriusmylliemumlongchann4207]

I stopped playing guitar for almost 16 years. Some of those pieces you are playing are familiar to my ears and it urges me to pick up my guitar for one more time. You have inspired me alot.

[@lawboss]

Great video. As a side note, @11:21 you say: "why didn't I write this; why didn't I think of writing this. The second section is unbelievable"--then you go on to play a piece that begins with the first three chords of a progression from the Hollies "The Air I Breathe" or the first 3 chords of the chorus to Radiohead's "Creep." If you travel long enough down this journey we call music, one finds there are many paths leading to the same place. Just a thought.

[@MarcoCirillo]

Hi Tom. Thanks for pointing this out. I agree with you 100%. At the end of the day, we all have access to the same set of notes, right? Yes, I used the same chord progression many times, but I never though of playing it with that unique set of voicings and chords. ☀️🎸

[@chance1986]

This brings back good memories. I learned classical guitar from a wonderful teacher, with the Carcassi Guitar Method book. Every once in a while I get that book out and play those exercises. Simple, but so elegant and beautiful.

[@MarcoCirillo]

Absolutely. Elegant is the perfect word to describe his music 🎸☀️

[@blakerobert1610]

I like the last part of the 4th book. It's so lovely, it just takes away, it's just melancholy.

[@prayertool]

Marco …. You and I need to discuss the definition of beginner …. Lol. This is so beautiful. You are an excellent teacher

Congrats for you babe , you’re going to be an amazing father and i wish the best for you and your the greatest guitar player ever , you inspire me a lot to keep going , thank you for everything, and never stop keep it up ♥️.

[@WolfRanger2008]

I absolutely 100% loved this video! It took me back to my days of learning piano. I was taught/studied in a very similar manner. And most certainly, I would love to learn some of this material. Teach away Maestro!

[@Ava2969ny]

Congratulations on the birth of your baby! I love your videos...they are definitely turning me into a better guitarist!

[@eldigitom9680]

Absolutely, please teach some of these beautiful short classical pieces. Many of those exercises are quite melodic and that's what I love in the guitar.

[@ramakantyadav1551]

I have not been looking at patreon for a while and am so happy to see the baby. Congratulations.

I would love it if you taught some of those pieces; please start with some simpler ones

I’ll definitely record videos with simple classica pieces soon ☀️🎸

[@bhavyagupta2544]

I have been listening to your melodies Marco for a very long time now . I consider you my teacher.

[@jonathondoherty4384]

These pieces are brilliant!!

[@stevewilson7915]

Great video Marco, your boy is the most beautiful part of the video, the music is a close second. Congratulations, and God bless your family.

[@littleeft]

You are so melodious! Just awesome

[@Elizareads]

Fantastic video and playing. Thank you for introducing me to these pieces. If you write your own music, this kinda stuff is scary, because it's so beautiful, but in many ways so simple. Melody, voice leading, dynamics. The pulsing tempo... So effective

[@joshuamatlack-iv8xf]

Marco I will always come to you first for lessons. I absolutely love the things that you play

[@alreadythen1]

Congratulations on your baby! Nothing is boring when you’re playing it! You play guitar with magic.

[@NOVAL-EXPERIENCE]

J'ai à peu pres eu le même parcours musical et le classique m'a apporté énormément. J'ai commencé en jouant du Bach et en parallèle je travaillais des arrangements de Sungha Jung et les OST des films ghibli en fingerstyle. Cela fait une douzaine d'années que je me suis tourner vers ces styles. ( classique, fingerstyle pércussif et lap tapping ) J'adore aussi jouer du Scarlatti. Que l'on aime ou pas, la musique classique apporte énormément. Elle vaut le coup d'être étudiée et travaillée.

[@talkabout2892]

Congratulations papa.... He's beautiful!!!! Great video as always sir!

[@Rhinehardos]

Hey Marco, first - congratulations to this cute piece of... Human 😃😉 concerning the music - That piece at 11:25 is lovely indeed 👍 All the best from Ger and stay healthy!

[@downhill240]

Thank you for sharing a look at your beautiful child! Take good care if him and give him your undivided attention for the first 10 years at least and of course start his guitar journey by the time he is two years of age! I hope to be around to see his first Solo!

I just came here to hear him say "cords"😂😂👍

[@zakibenzerga2044]

Was going to say the same thing 😂

[@Dutchy1949]

Thank you for writing the music for download. Since I realised that part 2 of Sagreras still had to be written I ordered Le seconde Lezioni di Chitarra online and have just finished writing the tabs. Very confusing when you are a beginner with tabs and not a prolific reader of music. This shows a lot of work on your part, thank you. What programme do you use for writing the music and tabs? I have been using either Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word and then writing the lines afterwards, perhaps you can enlighten us? Your playing of Sagreras lesson 6 showed a lot of feeling and expression that was not shown by others playing this piece. The only difference I am going to add to the music are chord tabs because they are not familiar to me and in the hope they will help me to learn it faster. So happy to be a patroen.

Congrats...no better joy than bringing a new life into the world 🖤🖤🖤

[@MarcoCirillo]

I know! Music notation looks so beautiful

[@reinaudi]

Ho lo stesso identico libro di Matteo Carcassi ma la copertina è beige, lo comprai nel 1973. Il primo in assoluto fu Antologia per chitarra di Luigi Oreste Anzaghi. Peccato che non ho continuato a studiare seriamente. Vorrei poter suonare bene come te, Marco. Complimenti con il cuore. Suoni pulito, preciso e con molto sentimento e i tuoi consigli e le tue lezioni sono molto utili e preziose.

Loving your videos so much lately, fatherhood has been good for your channel. You seem a lot more at peace despite being exhausted (It’s a dad thing lol). Keep up the great work, fun to find out you’re a 1984 kid also! Side note - What guitar model is you Furch (that is what that is right?). I only ask because it sounds amazing and looks like it plays like a dream. I mean clearly you’re why it sounds THAT good, but still 🤣

Fantastic video Marco! In answer to your question... "Yes, please, some classical pieces and lessons".

Marco, my nails are so soft and perl back to the nub. I want more sound from my strings as I play with skin if not using a pick. Can you recommend finger picks? I'm thinking acrylic or gel nails will only cause me problems up the road. I tried strengthening polishes, useless.i use steal strings, have yet to buy a nylon string guitar. And, I love you vids! Thank you.

Thanks a lot Joyce. You should try with fake nails. There is a video of Justin Guitar showing how he does his nails. Check him out.

[@glorioskiola]

Beautiful baby! And wonderful lesson, thanks so much.

[@Baerno]

Am I hallucinating a little bit, or is #6 @10:15 about a passing tone or two from a blues piece? Do you ever experiment with phrasing when you practice these, or is that too disrespectful? I also noticed you played part of one piece with what looked like Travis/Mayer thumb and index finger picking. (ala Neon). I'm pretty stupid about such things, so I usually don't know if it's a moment of clarity or a psychotic episode. I really like your take on things though, whether I really get it or not.

[@gautampatel8540]

Very Beautiful As Always 🤩, I wanted to know in slow fingerstyle pieces instead of plucking two string togather you play the second string with slight delay what that thing is called how can someone practice for that?

Quick question: I'd like to learn fingerstyle guitar. I also work in a hospital, and long nails are a no-go for infection control reasons (which TBH I think everyone is pretty okay with). Any ideas to get around fingerstyle with short nails while still sounding relatively decent? I mean, to be fair I'm not gonna be performing, just enjoying making music. But advice is always greatly appreciated.
