TOP 10 songs for CLASSICAL guitar you should know! 

TY

@@raymundbadua2892 idk but thats probably bc some songs have the same melody just like how memories practically has a melody of that one classic song i keep forgetting the name of or that other one song that sounds like take on me and also theres another song but it's an ost from a kdrama and its called auditory hallucinations

Raymund Badua lucid dreams sampled that song

NITZAN Kohavi - “Ode to Joe” - nice one 😂😉👍 If only it was.

NITZAN Kohavi - aw... I liked Ode to Joe better. Maybe I’ll write something called that! = ]

I'd suggest 'Dust in the wind' by Kansas as well...

Vasil Belezhkov - And Classical Gas!

That one is played on a steel string, though.

Joe Satriani - Tears in the Rain from The Extremist album is my favorite song to play on an acoustic

Paul Davids what if i dont have a patreon. bt still i need those tabs.

Thanks for the list

Cheers

Oscar Mauricio Vanegas Vargas 3, 6 10

@sik sak same 😂😂

Thanks

is it difficult , middle or easy ?

@@mouadhmerabet1758 Middle :-)

Anthony Phillips (former guitarist from Genesis) is a very good classical guitarist

Hi, do you have sheet/tab for that one?

I include After the Ordeal" "Hairless Heart" with "Horizons" which I follow with Bach Cello Prelude and Bach bouree as bastardized by Jethro Tull a full swing fiasco in the B section I can never play the same way twice... fun to play drunk. I precede tears in heaven with Tarregas Lagrima, Mood for a Day by Yes and the Sage by ELP/ greg Lake make up my 1972 set of songs i wish I could have played back then but 50 years later I finaly got a grip on some of it. farcical songs like Classical Gas and Deutch Nepal along with original music from Shakespeare plays I wrote make for an entertaining set for me but and obscure and plodding set for an audience to wade through... sorry.

Wout Kops that sucks man

Wout Kops sorry man

Happy to trade if you're looking for a classical.

I just found a sack of potatoes in my powder room

Tough break. Check the attic instead.

Lol idk what the song is called but it sounded like that song "you say you love me i say youre crazy"

Are you a professional guitar player now? Seeing as you made this comment a year ago.

@@rebbelic6876 Far from professional, but still practicing everyday! I met a guy at a hotel jacuzzi who I’ve started doing online lessons with and that’s really boosted my play.

Long life Tendacious D!!

Erik Russo boure is my next somg to play

YES

Erik Russo that's because you didn't know classic guitar

Impaktoh Faisano What? That's he lyrics to the song. It has nothing to do with someone not knowing how to play classical guitar.

it's not enough :)

So true 😊

Pick of destiny, right?

Ya

He is going to kick your f***ing ass and you know he's name is Kyle gas

@@fletchie78 i think that is an easier and cheaper guitar to start off with for begginers, but certainly much harder to master than any other guitar, and it is an insult to call it just a starter guitar

@@fletchie78 I don't think it's insulting. The reality is that the electric guitar is more popular, and there's no better way to learn the guitar than starting off with a classical. Why? Because they're far less forgiving. Any mistake is obvious, so it forces perfection. You can screw up on an electric and it won't be as obvious, because of the effects and amplification. So if your plan is to play electric, it really is a great starter guitar. Of course, it's also a beautiful instrument to plan in its own right. I play classical because I love the classical pieces by composers like Barrios. But electric is great too and there's nothing wrong with playing and listening to that kind of music. As for which is "harder," it's a kind of dumb debate. Once you reach the highest levels of guitar playing, it's all virtuistic, regardless of the instrument.

@@barneybudden104 well there are clasical guitars over 50 000 dollars ive seen it on some video here on youtube.

lol

That's why you should keep on playing.

I know that feel bro

He didn’t get good by sitting around wishing he was good.

It's really good feeling when you are shredder and read comments like this.

Philippe Sabourault was about to ask for that myself.

Same. I can't play it anymore! Lol

Live, yes, but Dave said in the studio they got some classical guitarist in (can’t just recall his name - didn’t recognise it at the time), and I’m sure he was relaying this in the interview because someone (maybe Roger!) claimed Roger had played it and Dave just couldn’t stop laughing at the thought of it (they weren’t on the best of terms at the time!), and he even went onto say that he even had to overdub most of Roger’s bass, but that could’ve just been sour grapes. I’m sure if Dave had played it in the studio he wouldn’t have said otherwise - it’s just such a simple but beautiful piece. It’s actually what first sparked my interest in playing classical guitar. Where and in what manner did he throw in the Em?

ibji - Ah, just looked it up. It was a session musician called Joe DiBlasi.

I think that classical looks gay :P

Erwu 1337 thank god gay people mostly look good.

Ah man everybody, this guy thinks Classical looks gay! Wow, sure glad I found his comment. Saved me from years of personal enjoyment playing stunning sounding music. I should just go throw that guitar away right now because this guy knows exactly what he is talking about. Thank you Thank you Erwu 1337. You are a prince(ss)? among us. Make sure you spread your well thought out message and help those less informed than you! I'm sure you will inspire a new generation of musicians to think exactly inside the little box you have carved for us all. Great job!!!

Why do you have so much butthurt? It's only my opinion.

Erwu 1337 i'm not butthurt. its your opinion and thats fine. :) i personally think that there is nothing more beautiful than a greg smallman or a jim redgate, played by a master. and theres a reason they are so expensive :)

There's a great live version of that song on "Friday Night in San Francisco", you'd probably like it.

Yeaaaaaah I was checking in the comments if someone knew this ! 😂😂

i sing itiin my head when im playing it

"If you you think it's time to fuckin rock, and fuckin roll, out of control"

Yummm I want to eat that guitar!

Hahahahh !! Its a sunburst Guitar

It's an Ortega guitar, i've got one in my own. They're great 👍

David Felipe León lol 😂

David Felipe León kkkk

Duuuuude!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This made me chuckle

Lol

Didyer Barrera Estacio Yeah and it only takes a lifetime to practise! /s

i don't think so!!!!, however, the piece, of Agustín Barrios called El Último Tremolo it's other beautiful piece, and probably a little bit easy.

Didyer Barrera Estacio He is one of the best. I played a lot of his pieces when i was in music school

It's only grade 5, so it's not that hard. Sure took me a while, though.

Fertez GX dude learn to play flamenco lol. that will keep you on the classical for a LONG time

Badmacstone "classical"

most of what Jimmy page plays is ripped off from someone else

John Williams jr not really tho lol

Yes indeed.

"supposed to be used" lost me there

@@athmaid he lost me at Asturias... very hard, but very overplayed

face palm

Wait what. Asturias and La Catedral are for beginners? Really

Yea the first part is easy. The second part not so

It's Al's song. Just sayin'. Paco and John make a great trio but Al Di Meola wrote the song. It's on his 2nd album Elegant Gypsy.

JeSuiT HISTORY that’s a guitar not a bass

XD good to see bass friends here.

Very impressive

@@alecks1569 LMAO

NO BASS! NOT EPIC!

Yeah it's pretty hard. Not for the undisciplined or faint hearted.

*Piece

Where I come from the guitar I am playing is called 'classical guitar'. That's all. I never said classical pieces or anything. Cheers!

@@PaulDavids Well they should just call it a nylon string guitar, because that's not a classical guitar precisely. Where you come from?🤔

lol someones butthurt

@@PaulDavids I meant no disrespect in my post. The title of your video, as well as the thumbnail, are simply misleading or at least inaccurate. Except for the Bourée, none of the pieces in your video were written for the Classical Guitar specifically. The Bourée itself was originally written for the Baroque Lute and only later transcribed for the Classical Guitar. That piece can be called a Classical Guitar piece actually, because it is part of Classical Guitar repertoire. Anyhow ... not all nylon-string guitars are Classical Guitars and not all fingerstyle pieces are Classical Guitar pieces. And oh, the Classical Guitar is not “a starting guitar”. It is true that many start on a classical to avoid fingertip discomfort, but some start on an electric for similar reasons ... that doesn’t make the Electric Guitar a starter instrument. It kind of belittles the instrument when you put it that way. Perhaps you should try and play a couple of Bach fugues on the Classical Guitar and discover that it is actually not a starter instrument 😎 And the ukulele piece ... I had to laugh at that. I love the ukulele and I play the ukulele, but strumming some chords on a uke does not qualify that music as Classical Guitar music, just because the instrument is fitted with four nylon strings. I do enjoy watching your channel. I just think this video is a miss, unless you change the title and the thumbnail. Personal opinion. All the best to you and yours.

How long have you been playing classical? We are the only group of guitar is to get that damn anal about the subject. Lol. It is that same anal characteristic we exhibit so often and for which we are so famous that compels me to correct you. Owed to joy is also a classical piece. It may not have been written for the instrument originally but, then again, neither was the Bach piece so, it counts. Anyway, I actually like the video. It’s nice to see my favorite version of the instrument showcased this way by a player of pop music. It’s nice to use my guitar for things other than Barrios, Tarrega, Brouwer and Rodrigo sometimes. Then again, I grew up with Spanish language music. This instrument features very heavily in all it’s nylon strung forms in those styles of music.

I agree, gotta be the accent

*cough* Jared Dines *cough*

Miguel Alho he leans very metal. I like the tutorials here

But he's funny

Miguel Alho I love them both.

if you pay for it -.- then sure

Yes it is!

@@NoahLoftier no it's not, sorry haha. The construction of this guitar is not that of a classical guitar.

There is an actual form of the guitar that is called a classical guitar. You can play whatever the hell kind of music you want on it but the instrument itself is a classical guitar. This distinguishes it, for instance, from a flamenco guitar. Different construction. Different woods. Slightly different sound. There are even guitars that are made in such a way that they can serve for both styles of music. But, they’re absolutely, positively, unequivocably and the refutably is such a thing as a classical guitar. Because it is one of the great instruments, my preferred, as a matter of fact with 30 years under my fingers on it, it is actually capable of lending it’s beautiful voice to many different genres of music whether classical or otherwise. My handmade concert model in Engleman spruce in Indian Rosewood with its Ebony fretboard and it’s ivory nut and saddle sounds quite beautiful when I play Despacito on it. I will even go so far as to say that it suffers no adverse effects from the experience. Julia Florida still sounds great when I play it on it right on the heels of Despacito. It even weathers my own rendition of ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone complete with my singing without so much as a whimper.

@@philomelodia I love your reply!

I’ve been really frustrated by the comments. I think the thing people don’t understand is that Classical guitar (the style of playing, techniques, the specific guitars and the music itself) is something you have to study, putting years of your life into it. Playing these songs are fun and what not but the blood sweat and tears put into playing something like Brouwer or lobbos or Albeniz is something that cannot be compared. It’s so taxing yet so rewarding and using the term classical when it’s finger style (on an acoustic guitar ) defaces it and makes it seem like we could do it in a few days maybe a week. More like a hobby (speaking as a serious classical guitarist)

Woah

o kadar haklı bir yorum ki yemin ediyorum

Yeah there are like a 100 others that could be on this list, Tarrega, Villa Lobos, Granados, Albeniz, etc

Horizons, Mood for a Day, The Sage, Classical Gas, Lagrima, Adelita, Bouree, Black Bird, Clowns' Song,, valz Venozulano #2.

thank you guys for the reference!

But is it Classic or just good finger style pop?

What about that Uke song, or the Bill Withers tune?

stea maccF

+Manrico Corazzi Yes :) I had to shoot the video at that day, and didn't have the time to learn that song by heart. Most classical musicians do that anyway, so I thought I could get away with it :D

I would really love to be able to sight read... I think it's really a powerful tool in your pocket - thanks for your kind and prompt reply (I do gather you are British, I've seen a pound note lying around somewhere...)

Hearing Bouree continue where it goes to C would have been nice :)

Aidan Lyons that song is for ukelele

If you can learn a song in less than five minutes, chances are it has nothing to do with classical guitar. If it's all chromatic, that should underline something as well. Nice little intro, nevertheless, I play it regularly as a party favour. Next!

Could you write down the titels for me? I love them

Jera Vriens sure :) shape of my heart - sting bourée - ? is there anybody out there -pink floyd tears in heaven - eric clapton hey soul sister - ? ode to joy - beethoven mediterranian sundance - paco de lucia aint no sunshine - bill withers heartbeats - jose gonzales keep your head up - ben howard

Thx so much i am looking for this list TT
