I love this ... ) My grandfather once played it to me with all his passion and soul... I was just stunned.. And thats why I asked him to teach me guitar... ))
I once tried pentatonic scale practice but gave up, partly because I had difficulty stretching my fingers wide to cover four frets. But the opening section of this beautiful piece, starting from the 7th fret, may serve as a finger-stretching exercise for me. Thank you, Robert!
Thank you very much for this breakdown of the opening section of Asturias, a piece that features prominently on your channel and very rightly so if I may add as it is a monument of the classical guitar repertoire. Just for guitar-talk sake I have to say I prefer the "Yates chord" on measure 37 which is essentially a 2nd inversion C major with the 7th (A#) in the bass that gives it this mysterious Andalusian flavor but that's the nature of this piece on guitar, there is no 'definitive' version so it's open to interpretation. At any rate my remark substracts nothing from your copious efforts to inspire people to play more guitar (as in my case) for which I am grateful. Oh, and btw this Cordoba guitar sounds gorgeous. Keep 'em coming!
Hello and thank you! Yes, it is a great piece. In fact, I have made a new arrangement of the piece which I will share a small portion of it later this week. I wanted something that was closer to the original piano piece than what I was playing before
Legend! This will definitely come in handy. I'm stucked at 37-44. For days now. Fingers just don't want to listen. 🤣 That jump from 10th fret to 12th fret on 41st tab is a horror show for my small fingers. 😂
Hi Rob, did you remove the second part of Asturias slow version? I got stuck at tab 78. So I was hoping to check the slower version but unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere on your channel.
@@vragonja Hello! I haven't removed anything. I haven't recorded a slower version of the middle section yet unfortunately . I do hope to get to that soon
Ohh, okay then. I didn't realise until yesterday how many uploads you have. Your channel is like musical wikipedia. 😄 I especially loved those videos with juicy little hints for playing guitar.
Hi robert . What is your preference of your guitars action. some guitars have high / some guitars have low action. I can imagine that theoretically low action requires less force from the left hand Like the flamenco guitar that have the lowest action. high action requires more force from the left hand. But there may be benefits as well? Many thanks for your insights!
Hello! I think string action is more of a personal preference. I prefer mine to be slightly higher than what a lot of guitarists like because I hit my strings fairly hard and I try to minimize the amount of buzzing
Hat off man! I recognize you just move the first knuckle of your thumb! it looks fantastic easy. Which tell me.. that it is not! Do you think it is necessary to train this separately or doesn't IT matter when the whole thumb is moving? Greetings
I don’t really know the answer about which is best. I have tried moving the thumb in a single movement but I am not able to. The way I do it, it is much more relaxed
@@RobertLunn japp.. it look very relaxed.. i try it, but my whole thumb is moving everytime.. but i kepp trying.. it looks very controled and efficient!
@@RobertLunn there is like no tutorial on the internet and my grandpa used to play it but he sadly passed away and I’m trying to learn all his songs that he used to play when I was younger
