I loved this lesson!

[@marktorres8114]

The audio sucks on this video but I can still appreciate the efforts

[@andyreasoner5289]

IMO guitar as well as violin is much more difficult musicat instrument than piano where all sounds are situated sequentially from bass to higher octaves and guitar give possibilty of using of much more techniques of expression sounds. Am I right? P.S.: I would dream Al Di Meola sortly did explain what arpegios are and showed the simplest case and advanced cas, especially how (if yes) he use this technique!

I find piano to be much more difficult than guitar. I've played guitar for almost 30 years and throughout that whole time I've had a most difficult time grasping the concept of playing piano because you're basically playing two different things with each hand which I find extremely difficult and hard to coordinate between the two and connect them at the same time, whereas with the guitar, the fretboard is an extension of what you're picking, so they're much more connected and easier to consolidate than when using both hands with the piano. Does that sound crazy?

My idea of composing is the complete opposite of his. Admittedly, I am a novice who does very rough work, but for me the melody is the statement and the fun is designing the harmonic emotional reinforcement for the melody.
