DEAR GUITARISTS... A Message For Those Feeling Frustrated And Overwhelmed
Whoa. I was looking for motivation. And I've bombarded myself with motivation that it won't motivate me anymore. This video is something I wanted to see. It's true.. motivation can come and go. But we still have to practice guitar anyways. It's a learning curve (or I should call it a bend 😅) we need to follow. And why? Because, I want it. Nothing can take me away from my will. Why? Because music is so personal thing to me. I wanna play what I like to listen. Whether it's on music player or its in my own head playing own tune. Why? Because it's meditation for me. It reminds me of me.. the younger version of myself who once was so enthusiastic. Why? Because look at the world.. what kind of music is being made. Terrible. I wanna partake into those 2-3% of people who make real music with real instruments which can be played live without auto tune and lip sync or just acting on stage on pre recorded audio. I wanna put a life into it. Why? Because I wanna be proud of myself in my older age telling my grandchildren that your grandpa has made own songs which are real headbangers. (I really wanna make at least 7-8 songs i.e. an album of my own before I die. Idc if people love it or not. If its hit or not.) And final why? Because we gonna die someday. I don't want this guilt of not learning guitar the way I want when I'm dying. Bitter truth.. we can die any moment. So it's better to re-start the practice sessions right now!!! PS. I'm waiting for my new string sets to be delivered at my home. I can't really start practice like right now. Pardon. But I'll surely start soon.
i have huge goals for flamenco guitar, i have insane motivations, but my parents arguing, screaming, fighting and etc. every ingle day, is making my mood horrible..
Thanks for this. I have started playing the classic Spanish Romance and at theme 2 I couldn't make those stretches. So I found this video and I will be adding the excercise to my daily practise. I cannot wait to be able to okay this song flawlessly 😊
It makes a bigger difference in person than over video for sure. Ukulele is what I play for this style because of its reentrant tuning.
Habbit: not holding the note for the full duration. Whole notes are obvious, but quarter notes and half notes I tend to not notice. Especially if i need to "prepare" my finger for the next note. Know what I mean? :).
I love those string squeaks that happen once in a while lol.
Nice Advice good bless you 🌹🌹
Recuerdos de la alhambra
I totally agree . . . it’s a wonderful technique . . . I’ve tried and tried but I just can’t seem to get right . . . especially the kick simultaneously while playing a bass note. I love the sound and would sure save me a lot of time, effort and expense spent on looping pedals to try and compensate. Appreciate you sharing your technique and talent. I play local gigs usually in a one man band or duo format and always looking for ways to fill out the sound.
im imprementing the pinky in the tremolo intead of just leavin it there useless. I wonder why no body uses the pinky much? or at all
02:31 click here to start the video
Obrigada por compartilhar esse conhecimento ❤
Great tutorial!
Great and succinct advice!
thank you so much! I always felt like my RnB chord progressions were missing something. I definitely think it's the percussive feel. This definitely helps.
Practice when you play.make sence
Thank you!
This presentation is more of a commercial than a guitar lesson.

I want to learn how to make my own arrangement, not arrange a song that already exists but to make my own song
my pinkie always moves during a tremolo, i always noticed that, how do i fix this?
Thank you for the video and the tremolo exercice (PDF), this will help a lot.🥰👍🎶
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.
Sometimes it bothers me that I heard tremolo and really liked it and wanted to learn it. Like why can't I want to learn easy things. I literally make my life difficult for no reason.
thanks for the tips brother! i'm guilty of relying on my thumb to squeeze the neck. i'll make the shift to the bicep and gravity! sounds way however, I'm also a yoga teacher and have tailored some specific practices to dramatically improve the flexibility and dexterity of my hands, wrist, fingers, forearms, and neck. i'll keep up the self-care but i'm excited to implement your advice
how much minutes each threshold to take? please reply thank you
Start simple! I like it 👍
I have a bad habit of liking pieces that are way beyond my level (Recuerdos de la Alhambra, Cappricio Arabe, Asturias, etc.)
Fire birddddddddd❤
dude! nice video, thanks for the tips!
Summary: 1. 01:58 Practice tremolo on inner strings 2. 03:06 Practice tremolo staccato 3. 04:14 Incorporate speed bursts 4. 07:46 Relax the pinky finger
I love guitar pro for this. Start at 25% speed. Learned from watching Tosin Abasi lessons. He said start slow and when you can play it 7-8 times without making mistakes you can speed up by 5-10% at a time. Repeat repeat repeat. Until you reach 100%
fantastic video! thank you
thank you, now i can play scarlatti
not really hidden, but I don't need it for guitar. in fact it is a super tool for the drums, yes, I recommend GPro for drum practicing, the sound are pretty good, and it is pretty easy to tab in drum patterns.
Nathan no more hot dogging to then go publicly blaming your graduate school failures on Aelx . Is that his his name though , really? . Let him edit this too. Lol.
Thanks a lot for your video and beautiful tremolo exercise.
Thanks for your useful tips. I surely will give it a try.
Thanks for posting this! How do you keep your picking nails in such great shape? I seem to have to sand mine down or I break them on something, break one then have to start all over. So sad breaking a picking nail (:
Again I'm sorry to mention this but you use it so often.. things are not built OFF notes. We build on things. the thing you build on is a foundation that's why we use the preposition ON. A chord is built on a note just like your house is built ON foundations or the statue outside in your garden stands ON a plinth. They are not built off and *_specially_* they are not built off of.
Aaagh!! Stop pronouncing it ' innervals' !!!! It's intervals!!!
Can someone please comment on this tomorrow? I need to remember to play :)
Great lesson…”slow and steady wins the race”😊
For me the biggest issue with rolling chords is that it results in cutting corners. It gives your left hand fingers extra time between chords. When you play all notes at once, all your fingers need to be in position, meaning you need to be faster.
I can't embellish a melody or add harmony to my arrangement
"Alhambra" has a silent "h." I wince when I hear the "h." I practice the tremolo on Malaguena, my own version, though it is probably the right one. Sometimes I do well, whatever that means. I also have added it to a Santana song: Samba Pa Ti. I am not very good, but I am not all that bad. I used to do it with the fingers straight, but i think that is very wrong, so now I curve them. I am going to download Recuerdos De La Alhambra and practice that. I have heard it before and think it it is the best thing to do right now.
很棒的视频 很棒的视频 很棒的视频
This video is pure Gold. Every piece of advice is valuable
The fingestyle its very difficult to make, i have been 12 years playing guitar, knowing a lot of cool things (in my opinion), but its very dificult to write it all in a pentagram... For example rithms with the cords (and using a open tunning), how can i whrite percussion all in the same plase...
Christopher Parkening. He has an amazing palette of tone colors with wonderfully expressive feeling in his playing. Perhaps one of the most overlooked guitarists. Everyone , please listen to some of his recordings, he will inspire you to play more beautifully.
