[@notachaldaiou6632]

My teacher gave me this piece right before quarantine so we hadn't worked on it.... But fortunately I found you!!! I really like this piece! Keep going!

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

That's great! hope it helps!

[@Aislanzito]

Thank you for remembering and teaching a song by this great Brazilian composer and conductor.

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Thanks for watching.

[@andyfluck3404]

I love the way you present tunes. There are a lot of thoughts that help me understanding the music. I am still struggling with techniques, though. Thanks a lot for your work and support.

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Thanks for watching!

Bradford, thank you, your lessons are so informative! I am just starting to learn this piece, and your instruction helps me so much! You’re the best!

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@cracgor]

Thanks for this. I'm playing this in my lessons and it's always nice to have additional instruction. I wanted to add that my teacher's teacher's teacher was Villa Lobos, and he recommends strumming the chords in that B section and the separated strings in the A section like the open E and F# on the 4th string to play both notes with the thumb as being more true to the original intent.

Thanks for sharing!

[@joshfeatherstone8546]

One of my favorites. I'm going to have to come back. I'm busy with Bach's Cello Suite Prelude. Thanks for sharing this.

[@nbnguitar]

Love these lessons, Bradford! Wonderfully helpful.

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Glad you found it useful. I want to do more upper level lessons int he future.

[@kamranrezaie1370]

Extremely informative. Much appreciated.

[@nijwmzen29]

Great tutorial. Thanks. Regarding my two cents on the squeaks, I guess it's ok to have them on this piece as villa lobos has so many crazy shifts that it's almost inevitable to have some squeaks, especially when you start to learn it.

[@jcpractices]

Thank you for the wonderful lesson! I’ll incorporate these ideas as I vlog my progress learning it

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Nice to hear!

[@rafalex22]

Muito bom!

[@paumasia475]

It's normal to have fret buzz when I pluck harder the E note after the slide in just the beginning of the piece?? Just wanna know if i'm the only one, or if it happens to you too. Thanks!

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Hmm, could be either your action is too low or you are pushing it beyond the guitar's limit. Or you need to graduate to higher tension strings (careful of that one though). Usually, the more advanced the player the higher the action which seems contradictory but pros dig in hard to be heard in concert halls.

[@lukea5067]

Been working on this a while now, perfect timing for this video!

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Happy practicing.

[@lukea5067]

@@Thisisclassicalguitar any advice on practicing the run down the E major chord within your 'pet peev' section. I struggle to make it smooth and concise. Great videos, and much love from England

[@Aislanzito]

this year we remember the 60th anniversary of Villa Lobos's death

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Oh wow, thanks, I didn't even think of that.

[@keejoseph3145]

Hi, just wondering where can I purchase Villa Lobos Prelude no 1, music score.? Kind to show me the link, please.

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

You can get the collected guitar works (Eschig edition) but not many fingerings in there: amzn.to/32E6cEc

[@JediRastafari]

I'm really diggin' these lessons you've been giving us here on youtube, much appreciated. I didn't realize that Joseph-Gordon Levitt had a VIRTUOSO guitarist as a brother............ JK.... ;- )

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Ha, I usually get more of Mark Wahlberg

[@chrissiechrissie4351]

Thank you, thank you,

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Thanks for watching!

[@Majnun74]

I like the idea of playing the bass, cello line on its own first. I can at least do that. It’s a good start.

[@pedrojuniorufrj]

Thanks ! 🇧🇷

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Thanks for watching 🇨🇦

[@oe8670]

Great song, thanks. Is there a chess clock over there ?

[@danielguzman4848]

Been waiting for this piece for a while, great video and amazing tips

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Thanks, hope it helps!

[@epipen22]

The hardest part of playing this piece seems to be musical expression

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Ya, that's true. There is really only one or two tricky spots and the rest is about controlling the texture and shaping that melody.

[@vitalianocampione2832]

Parli troppo.

[@guitarricktrue]

Masterpiece, thanks for the lesson.
