MALAGUEÑA - Fingerstyle Guitar Tutorial 

Wow. I remember you from being roommates with my friend Jason in college. We went to some good parties in Chicago back then. Good to see you have a good RU-vid presence. Yr hair was much longer then. Lol

Hey Brandon this is random, there is this pretty piece, is it possible for you to make your own arrangement of Chopin’s nocturne, Op. 9: No. 3 in B major?

ive just recently took up classical guitar and started doing finger exercises, i wanted to learn a classical piece and this lesson was amazing its only been like 15 minutes and ive been able to go all the way through. I love this melody and thank you for teaching me my first classical song.

Love to be here but I've got commitments at that time... ;)

I play mostly electric but I do have a beautiful, Spanish made classical guitar, which I've always felt I've neglected. But this video... Not only did you inspire me to pick it up but also I learned Malagueña, which I've always wanted to learn. And you did it in like 10 minutes! Incredible, thanks!

Just wait when my GF sees me play this after the lessons

I cannot wait to learn this!! LOVE your online lessons!!!! Just started practicing the lesson with the “two voices” 👍💖 I’m really taking my time through them and it’s paying off!!

Wow... I was intimated starting this video but as someone playing guitar for many years, this was legitimately a fun lesson that was easy to follow

Learned my first classical piece at 3am in the span of like 20 minutes. I can’t believe my progress lmao

That's really great. Especially for beginners to combine different important basic practices with actually performing something nice. Well done, man!

Well thats perfect I just started practicing malegueña 3 days ago :))

This is the best guitar teacher I've come across on the entire fkin internet he's a very nice person and an amazing teacher and ofc an awesome artist, a real one

I really appreciate the music you are using to teach this course, and I also appreciate that you anticipate the issues that your students may have during practicing. Good luck with this style of teaching, and thanks for your innovative ways to keep classical guitar relevant in today’s world.

Thank you sir for the tutorials! Your tutorials are amazing and explained very well, as well as the tips that come with them! I've fallen in love with classical guitars (and this channel of course!) , beautiful sound!

Thanks for the tutorial. You are a natural teacher, you make it fun, approachable and demystified . The best tutorial out there

Ahh, Malaguena was always may favorite piece when learning spanish guitar, I've played the version by Cees Hartog which is a little more involved, but this is also very nice :D

Finally!!!! Had been waiting since ages for a perfect tutorial of Malaguena, and this, indeed, is the one. Thank you a million times.

Well presented Brandon, very clear and concise with humour..and that always helps the concentration !

Hey you really are a great teacher and I'm glad I came across the video.... I like the way you break it down and go about things.... you definitely Rock and I'm already playing Spanish songs now thanks to you your video made it really easy.... thank you very much and have a blessed one💯

Hi Brandon, not sure if I should buy this course or not as I feel like I'm a bit above this level, but wouldn't consider myself intermediate either. Any plans to offer a bit more advanced courses? Eventually would love to learn to play your version of Capricho Arabe!

Hey Brandon your tutorials are easy to follow and you do a good job explaining. Thank you

Classical guitarists' right hands always looks like they belong on a vampire, lmao.

Can you do an intermediate and expert Malaguena video is well, where you showthe different levels of difficulty. In particular, I'm looking for how to do the strumming pattern in the intro to this song: music.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o0Lo5AyO-zM.html&feature=share

at first i don't expect something fun, but it turns out that it is so fun! I'm so happy to learn this repertoire! I'm actually played it on acoustic guitar & this is my first time learn guitar (don't have any basic actually :')

This is the first piece of music for the classical guitar that I ever learned. That was 15 years ago when I started. Your way of teaching is really gooood.

Only if you can show more closely where and how you press the cords, apology I am very new to this but I LOVE IT!

Perfect 🥰

I though it would be hard, but i nailed it fast! Thank you

What a beautiful CUBAN song by Lecuona!!!

Perfect

The first song learnt by a teenaged Keith Richard

Very well explained and showcased. 🙏🌱💜

Brandon, I just wanted to say that I've played guitar for about 15 years now and when I saw you had a course out, I was intimidated by it. I thought there's no way i'm good enough to buy that course. This video has convinced me otherwise. You have made this so easy and accessible, I can guarantee now that I'll buy your course. Thank you for this sample so I can see how you teach!

I was confused when I saw s full tutorial for this in only 12 mins. I misunderstood. I thought it was going to be Ernesto Lecuona's Malaguena transcribed to guitar. A literal rite of passage for anyone wanting to pursue flamenco. I have to ask, Brandon, do you offer lessons on the more advanced versions of the Malaguena in the full course?

I am wondering if anyone has had the same experience with concert guitar. I have noticed a stark difference between the compositions that challenge me most on the concert guitar in comparison to the violin. With the violin it was always the fastest an most technical pieces. But with the guitar I have found it much more difficult to master music that often appears jsimple on paper. For example, with Barrios I find pieces like Choro da Saudaude and even Julia Florida more difficult than Las Abejas or La Cathedral. Played casually without attention to each detail they are miserable to hear ( and the emotional requirement is not optional). Listen to someone play these songs like a warm up and they sound boring and generally bad. If you practice only notes and technique you're not learning this type of song. They demand something personal and I don't know how to practice the kind of ...well, to be basically a relationship they demand. romantic era music isn't for chumps and the guitar composers made some of the best music in the genre, which is impressive considering how few they were. Music history would be so easy if you could count all the romantic pianists with your fingers.

Wow I didn't expect this to be so playable. I'm sure my technique is awful but it took maybe 15 minutes to 'get'.

Performed a variation of maleguena as an ensemble piece, glad to see it's still going strong🤘

Malaguena is a favorite of mine. Thank you for featuring this in your tutorial. You explain very well - brief yet very clear. Great teacher! Can't wait to learn this piece.

Is this course for an absolute beginner? That is someone with 0 hours at the guitar or do you have to have some basics in place already?

i wasnt planning on learning this, but it was so easy with your explanation. Thank you!

what's the song at the end please

Thank you! Took me a a day but I got it down

I used to use this piece as a guitar practice exercise, though I played it an octave lower, and I'm not a classical guitarist :)

Would love to hear you play some classic banjo, there’s a very similar tone on the old style banjos

I´m confused. I thought Malaguena was a Spanish Flamenco style instead of Classic style. I love all Brandon´s guitar lessons, but i was a little disapointed with this one. I´m sorry to you all.

You sir are a delight, I just found your channel... (just bought me a classical guitar) :)

Love your content ..it is very helpful 👌🏻 thanks so much

We flamenco guitars love "strumming" and "slapping" the guitar, but classical guitarists seem to avoid these wonderful techniques.

Check out these two videos of The late great Roy Clark playing this very tune: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--xssnp7R51A.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lxDQQDF6j0Y.html I'd like your opinion on his technique and style. I always found him to be the greatest guitarist of my generation, folks born in the 60's

I love your channel and I love the way you teach!

Thank you, the difficult makes them look easy.

Cool I learned a new song to pluck in 10 minutes thank you

Hello and thank you Mr Acker! I am a beginner and will join your guitar Lessons programm!

Viva Malaga!

This was great! I was able to play it and i am at a very beginner level.

Super Film ! :)

Love this, I can also play this arrangement with a baritone ukulele 🥰

I love this, thanks! Such a good flow, with unlimited improv opportunities.

You play this beautifully, I've learned this with my first instructor but the first measure we played on the 6 and 5th strings.

Loved this tutorial now maybe albeniz suite espanola tutorial please :)

my guitar teacher taught us the whole thing and ive mastered it

hi Brandon, thanks for this it's made a beautiful piece easy to play!

This dude looks like Tom Maguire and Harry Potter fused into one

Соседи сверху обожают когда я исполняю MALAGUEÑA, при звуки гитары, они активно начинают топать ногами из одной комнаты в другую, наверно любят потанцевать.

As always, your videos are a pleasure

That is a great lesson! One of the best in you tube I've seen.

Fantastic music!

very nice to follow , easy learning, ❤🙏🙂

Hey Brandon whats that thing you got on your guitar holding it upright? I wanna try one of those

I Love your online lesson. Thank you!

Been waiting for this for so so so long thank you so much

Perfect lesson. Thank you

why not using all fingers instead of just the tumb ?

Hands down the best lesson on a classical guitar piece on youtube.

Wait... an actual guitar lesson?

Can you do a tutorial on "The Gruffalo's child" by René Aubry? It's a magnificent piece and there is no tutorials on youtube. Thanks

If the first chord is called E, the next one is Fmaj7 add4/ E and the third one Em7 ?

Huge thanks for this great lesson ❤️

Bravo!

Wow it sounds so similar to the intro to “Para un Mártir del Compás.” It’s from a Spanish video game called Blasphemous and it’s what got me into wanting to learn this style of playing.

So simple, yet... lovely. Thanks! I'll play this all day.

Roy Clark would be proud

Hi Brandon 👋🏻 I have a question ! Can we play classical Guitar but without frets? Like fretless bass. I saw a guy with a fretless bass and that question came to my mind! Weird, right?😂

Wow phenomenal - thanks Brandon 🔥

Seper. Macht richtig Spaß. Danke!

i always wondered what it would be like if you mixed james taylor, steve jobs, and jeffrey dahmer! haha just kidding, but great stuff, i like your teaching style

WHATS THE INTRO SONG THE WALTZ WHATS IT CALLED

Enjoyed your lesson

So excited for this

Why the fuck did I watch this :D I've played guitar for 20 years! Still a great lesson haha

Bro pls do the solo for this too

I thought you'll may be sing it in Spanish 😃 Mexican malageña

This is exactly how I learned to play it in 1958 or 1959. Thanks for sharing.

Ti adoro!

Bacana. Muito bacana!

Brandon thank you breaking it down to very tangible slabs for beginners which makes it really easy to follow - thank you

Super cool 😎

Sounds like Asturias
