I'm a simple man.. I see Beyond the guitar academy's video.. I click it

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

That doesn't make you a simple man... that makes you a man of culture 😎🍻

[@ibpiano5520]

Dude I'm not even a guitarist and the information you provide here is 100% useful to me and my arranging. Cheers from a pianist!

[@jasnjsemy]

You make it look so easy. Watched the video, thought "yes I can do that," picked up the guitar...... back to watching the video again......

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

You can do it! Just keep experimenting. What tune are you trying to use the effect with?

[@giri8081]

I've just started trying to arrange songs and your videos are gold dust thank you Nathan! Such high quality ⭐

[@JoshGUITARofolo]

Oh man, I’m going to Villalobos the hell out of everything now. Ty Shifu. 🙏

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Haha yaasssss

[@StuartwasDrinkell]

Ok beyond ... cause i dont know your name... I love your teaching style... thanks bro! I totally agree with something you've said before; its not talent, its discipline, practice and dedication to routine. I was a rock and blues guy but since learning Tarrega, Debussey, De Lucia, Amigo and Chopin, I am hooked on classical and flamenco and I've broken through it with hard work and self belief. Thanks for your contribution to my journey. I'm going to clue up on Villa Lobos, thanks to you!

[@alexandretorturela2938]

What a magnificent lesson! Im pretty sure Villa-Lobos would be very happy!

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Glad you enjoyed it, Alexandre!

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

What ideas have you "borrowed" from other guitarists and composers in your arrangements or compositions? Let me know in a comment!

[@GadBerger]

As part of the monthly challenge for your Arrangers Academy, I added a repeating harmonic on the 12th fret of the 1st string as an homage to Leo Brouwer's "Un Dia de Noviembre". Funny enough that was on my minor version of mary had a little lamb.

[@paulachild962]

Terrific. Thank you Nathan.

[@manuelfranco102]

Now that's creativity on the next level. Really interesting to see the process behind this, keep it up! The YT algorithm acts in mysterious ways as always :)

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Thanks for doing your part. Fingers-crossed the lords of the YT algorithm shine favorably upon me 😇

[@aditsingh4083]

You have been making Great tutorials. Love it. It's been one and half year watching your videos. And honestly it really helped me arranging some good songs. Now arranging songs to me has become more easy.Always try to learn more. And aspire to be a fantastic guitarist like you.You always inspire me to improve over and over againThank you😌😌❤

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Love to hear this. Keep it up!

[@GadBerger]

Awesome instruction, and great use of the Villa-Lobos piece!

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Thanks Gad!

When I saw the Lion King Live in London the orchestra sneakily played a section of Smetana's Moldau when timon was being flushed down a river (the whole song is about a river) it was an amazing Easter egg and I swear I was the only one who realized. I had a little nerd freak out and looked around and people probably thought I was crazy.

[@eugeniocapodicasa6949]

Hi Nathan, thank's for the tip, may be will try to use it in my Harmonic challenge this month,

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Ooh yes! Looking forward to hearing what you come up with

[@debmills356]

So fascinating! Wise counsel for guitarists or for any artist.

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Thanks!

[@GilangRamadhan53]

Hey I was wondering if you will make a tutorial on how you record videos for KZbin? Like what tools do you use and the whole process of making it untill you upload it. Thanks!🙏🙏

[@jonathonmulka8351]

Hey I got a serious question. I have been learning guitar for about a year and i always used my fingernail to pick but I cant keep them long due to breakage. So I keep having to stop playing till I got my picks back. So here is my question: How do you keep your nails so tidy and prevent brakes?

[@giri8081]

I'm not Nathan obviously but I had this same problem back in my classical guitar student days, my nails were naturally so brittle - sounds silly but things like properly cut and filed nails, a good diet (mg/zn supplements if needed) and moisturising my hands before bed really turned my nails around! Hope this helps :)

[@jonathonmulka8351]

@@giri8081 Thanks!

[@christopharnold7754]

the melody is also in the carmina burana, circa mea pectora!

[@zaten6455]

Amazing video as always! It really is a cool technique to have in a tool box, I could definitely start implementing it since I just can't get the clean tremolo. But why is tremolo so difficult?

[@guitar_noodle]

Thats a nice Pace guitar. Great idea!

[@vishwajeetohal9137]

Thank you

Villa-Lobos Prelude #1 is one of my old warhorses.

[@zacharyyu7605]

Is it just me or does Villa Lobos look a whole lot like Valerie Gergiev.

[@RunonMusic]

Its appropriate that you pirated another song in a song about a pirate...id say fair is fair
