Guardame las vacas by Narváez & Lesson for Classical Guitar

[@OPTIONALWATCH]

That was beautiful. Your feeling playing this piece is excellent. I love your version very much.

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Thank you very much!

[@MrElpenguino]

You are a wonderful teacher, and I am so pleased that you have provided this instruction. I have always loved classical guitar. I've had a full-sized classical guitar for years, but I, like you, am a smaller individual and found it a little overpowering, so I just gave it up and let it sit. Then I bought a baroque guitar, but I found so little instruction out there for how to play baroque guitar, I don't know what to do with it. Finally, I did buy a 7/8 guitar. I didn't know such a thing existed. Anyway, thank you again for providing this service. It is truly appreciated.

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

What Baroque guitar did you buy?

[@MrElpenguino]

@@Thisisclassicalguitar Nothing fancy: a Roosebeck. I bought a Cordoba 7/8 guitar. You live in Victoria B.C. Love that city. I live in Seattle. Maybe I could travel up that way and take some lessons from you.

Beautiful Renaissance piece by a great Spanish composer

[@petjobedet4650]

I like your version, but using the regular tuning, not the original viheula tablature. You are helping immensely and educating your viewers. Thanks again!

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Ya, it works in either tuning. However, if played in a set of works his other works don't always finger nicely in regular tuning.

[@Fremulshmat]

This great to come across this tutorial accidentally...I struggled to understand the timing and to get the rh fingering to work for some of the runs; I’ve just had a brief look at first 5 mins of your tutorial and already I feel more confident to tackle this piece again. Thanks for posting and explaining things in a way that makes sense to me (not an easy achievement) :-)

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Glad it helped!

[@rafaelmoros8417]

Bravo muy bien tocada, ole!!!!

[@boi_alien]

Thank you so much, I love this piece. You are awesome!!!

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Thanks!

[@cedricrenerre52]

Il nous manque encore au moins la moitié du morceau !...

[@bertrandnoe5413]

Oui au moins la moitié 😊

[@rubenrus5162]

This is royal classical guitar haha

[@bmoraga01]

Do also have a tutorial on Cancion del Emperador by the same composer?

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Not yet but I plan to!

[@ebbenielsen7]

Is it a conscious choice that you do vibrato on a tone as soon as you play it (or actually at the same time) instead of shortly after you play it?

[@johnmckenna6203]

I started learning this one a couple weeks ago using a capo on the 3rd in standard tuning. I'm really glad I came across this video becasue I like this arrangement so much better. Muchas gracias.

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Ya, it's pretty close to the original so I prefer it too.

[@petjobedet4650]

Nice job.

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Thanks!

[@myphone5242]

nice playing. do you ever use sul tasto or sul ponticello or just pick a sweet spot for your plucking hand and stay there for the whole piece?

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Depends on the style and musical ear. For early music I stay somewhat consistent.

[@bobpeticolas121]

Very nice. A lot of lute music is easier to play in f# tuning, but this is pretty easy either way. It's easy to avoid the "crazy shift" by simply barring the fourth fret for four or five strings for that section. A lot of students just work on this as an exercise to see how fast they can play scales, and that kind of ruins the piece for me. Liked your easy pace. Could go a little quicker too.

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Very true, I took a pretty relaxed tempo. I feel it sounds great slow on early music instruments that are very plucky but on classical guitar the tempo seems to work a bit faster (not too fast to avoid the musical complexity of course).

[@MrUrech]

Hey mister, i forget your name but do you do apoyando PINCHES? Like two notes at the same time where one or both is a rest stroke? Thankyou.

[@MrUrech]

Re: apoyando pinches, (p and i or m or a) do you find your nails need to be short as absolutely possible for this technique?

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Usually a thumb rest stroke (Apoyando) with free stroke fingers.

[@MrUrech]

@@Thisisclassicalguitar yes! Okay thankyou very much good sir ill consider becoming a patron

[@leonardof853]

I used to play this when i was 14. Now im 42 and forgot everything. I rember it was not complex at all

[@hanarj6685]
