There seem to be some discrepancies about the ordering of the études 7, 8 and 9. I'm not sure why my edition is different than others, but hopefully everyone can find the études they're looking for! ;)
Thank you for listening! :)

I've heard these played too fast by professionals....great tempo and articulation. These are not just studies, but wonderful pieces of music in their own right!

[@MichaelBemmels]

Thanks for your comment! I agree, they are excellent, and tastefully crafted compositions. :)

Maravilloso. Cualquier vídeo en el que te escuche... maravilloso.

[@MichaelBemmels]

Thank you for the comments! :)

[@danielhake2056]

I don't have near the technical expertise as this young man. But you still may enjoy Daniel Hake Classical Guitar (youtube or Rumble). My 28 minute video begins with Caprice, by Carcassi. I have a rough crude sound as contrast to this beautiful, smooth work. We pluckers need to stick together.!

[@MichaelBemmels]

Thanks Daniel, keep on plucking! ;)

[@eteres-n6g]

Very good played! really cool to have all the etudes in a single video, my favorite one is the number 7 Allegro but for some reason here is listed as the #9. I´m actually learning it hope i can record it soon.

[@markbibb1221]

[@shinyoungmin00]

Clean and vivid performance!

[@davidbezanson7396]

Easy listening...clears the mind.

[@michi101able]

I was interested in your fingering of No. 11. Many players play the first two notes of the second triplet of the piece with a double thumbing…you seem to use your thumb on the d-note, then your index on the second note of the triplet…I’ve noticed other players using double thumbing to play these two notes so I wonder why.

[@MichaelBemmels]

I think double thumbing would be fine if that feels natural for you. Personally I prefer to alternate fingers more often, and it allowed me to continue using the p-i-m-p pattern on many of the bass note figures in this etude.

[@yannili3900]

Hello how u doing I am learning this song that’s why I listen to it

[@memph1930]

Fabuloso felicitaciones! Great job man!

[@MichaelBemmels]

[@MichaelBemmels]

Gracias! You can watch my recordings of etudes 13 - 25 from Op. 60 at this link here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6XVhIWhmt97Z7c

[@isaacroche3223]

Great,Matteo!!!❤❤❤ Your guitar is excellent, looks and sounds amazing!!! Luthier???

[@MichaelBemmels]

Thank you! The guitar is a 2012 spruce top by the luthier Douglass Scott

[@jordanbemmels9752]

My favs are Allegretto #10 and Moderato #2. 10 is like an animal jumping in the air, while 2 is like Bach biting his fingernails. :)

[@MichaelBemmels]

Ah yes, great analogies for those etudes! :)

[@emanuelemontiguitar]

Bravo!

[@kerbytrinidad6981]

Thanks for this video, It will help Me to play this pieces. What's your favourite Etude in the set of 25 Etudes?

[@MichaelBemmels]

Thanks for the comment! From what I've played so far I probably like No. 12 the best. I'm a sucker for the slower, sentimental tunes :)

[@garybutcher1413]

Wonderful playing! I was mesmerised by your RH thumb damping every previously played bass string as soon as you hit a new bass note. Is that something you do automatically or do you have to consciously think about it? I ask because it's a technique I'm still trying to master.

[@MichaelBemmels]

Thanks for your comment! Initially I had to put in a lot of conscious effort to do the RH thumb damping, but now it mostly happens automatically. In some passages where the thumb is very active, or I notice some "muddy" sounds in the bass, I still have to analyze it carefully and put markings in my score to work out the damping.

[@garybutcher1413]

@@MichaelBemmels Awesome! Thanks for replying Michael.

[@andreassitompul7217]

Where did you get those opus numbers, what happened here guys? It's all different from my prints?? 😅😅

[@MichaelBemmels]

Interesting! I have an edition with fingerings by Anton Stingl. The numbers do seem to be different from some other publications. Now I am confused! :S Which edition are you using? :)

[@jean-michelnadeau2833]

alright, man!

[@MichaelBemmels]

Thanks for sharing :)

[@FelixJEAN-GILLES]

You did a good job. However I had t0 increase the speed at 1.35 to hear the correct tempo. In other words, your play is quite low. Otherwise, I enjoyed it.

[@MichaelBemmels]

Thanks for the comments and feedback!
