Great video! But if you imagine yourself in the Amazon rainforest while listening to Villa Lobos... I would just like to point out I doubt Villa Lobos even ever went anywhere near the Amazon rainforest. The background for his works was much more inspired by the metropolitan atmosphere of Rio de Janeiro, a decadent metropolis ravaged by poverty and crime and the southeastern Brazil countryside, which looks a lot like the stereotypical American "South" with folkish rednecks but with less racism. He also has some pieces inspired by Northeastern Brazil culture, which I could only summarize as something like the Wild West...all of these places are closer to Africa to anywhere near the Amazon. Just a tip ;P

During the pandemic I had more time and after 20 years of not studying I started learning again. This time, the modern way, choosing repertoire on KZread and Spotify and then buying or downloading the scores on the Internet. Next thing I knew I bought a Tonebase subscription. It's incredible, I truly recommend it. If you have the time, you can learn so much.. Villa-Lobos was probably the greatest Brazilian composer for solo guitar (and more) but I feel that not enough people play Garoto. Paulo Bellinatti recovered his incredible work. The fingerings are challenging for players only used to play classical guitar as they require sometimes the use of 5 fingers on the right hand or semi bars with the left hand. Easier if you have played jazz or bossa nova before. I wish you play some of his music so that more people give it the deserved credit as he passed too young and kind of was forgotten. He has some virtuoso pieces but all of it is extremely beautiful. From Garotos compositions Villa Lobos most cherished Debussyana. Check it out !

For me, it's one of the reasons I actually left classical guitar. It was just too demanding and I realised it wasn't the music I wanted to dedicate myself to. Still love listening though, the music is beautiful. But it was just too frustrating, especially since it was pre-internet days and the only Villa-Lobos I had available was just a bit of sheet music. Still play guitar, play music that I enjoy... but a part of me still wishes I could be the kind of guy that could just pick up a guitar and play a flawless Étude 7.

@@mejsjalv my teacher always tells me, Villa Lobos is actually easy , because it is written for guitar. All the fingerings are more or less logical and good to remember. You only have to practise VERY SLOW ! If you can Play it slow, you can play it fast. Dedicate your self to the Instrument ,the classical guitar itself and not to a specific Music and you will be able to play anything.

I love the comedy videos, but I love this more. Beautiful pieces, played beautifully, with interesting context that will send me on a voyage of musical discovery. KZread at its best.
Villa Lobos is not only my favourite composer for guitar but also piano
A whole lot of years passed between my bachelors degree and my masters. As an under grad my instrument was trumpet and in grad school guitar. Richard Glenn, my instructor, turned me on to Villa-Lobos and I thank him for that. When I left school with my masters and a teaching credential the only gig I could get was both teaching and playing piano which destroyed my right hand finger nails and guitar technique. At 76 I am trying to get those nails back so I can enjoy playing again. I’m struggling with Bach and looking forward to Villa-Lobos.

I highly recommend other pieces from Villa-Lobos, like the concerto for Guitar, Fansasia for cello and orchestra, Quintet for Flute, Harp and String Trio, and the bachianas, but all of his worth it, he made more then 2000 pieces. And i also recommend a feel other brazillian composers, Camargo Guarnieri, Guerra Peixe, Alberto Nepomuceno and Radamés Gnattali.
Wow thanks Lucas, I had never heard of Heitor Villa-Lobos until now, such beautiful music. His guitar arrangements remind me of Tarrega, wondering, mysterious, slightly dark at times but with splashes of hope scattered throughout.

He already did Barrios
Heitor Villa-Lobos is one of the most popular Brazilian composers. He was a pianist, but he knew the guitar very well. He wrote 12 Etudes for guitar and a lot of Choros and Preludes. For me, this etudes are very helpful because I can improve my technic and both hands. This is my suggestion for this video: in my opinion, Level 5 can be also Etude 3, because this etude is very good for left hand and it has a lot of legatos, and for Level 4 Etude 11. This etude is very good for practicing right hand and chords . Greetings from Serbia!
Respect and love from Canada! We love your merging of classical and jazz-but we want to hear some flamenco from you, brother!
It is really nice to see in these pieces how much they have influence many brazillians musicians through the years in many diferrents styles. The level 2 right hand pattern, for instance, is replicated by Kiko Loreiro in the song "Conquer or Die" by megadeth, even if only at the minor E chord. Villa-Lobos is really at the highest level of music one can achieve.
Thank you for representing us 🇧🇷! We are proud of our music and culture too! Thank you Lucas 🎉
I studied classical guitar in my teens and I had never heard of this composer, but once I got to the level where I could start studying his compositions, he is my favorite
These legitimately are some of the most dynamic pieces ever. I feel so lucky to have been introduced to this music early in my life. Villa-Lobos was the first guitar composer to ever make me want to actually dance. It was Prelude no. 5 that did it. Haha Love this!! Such fantastic playing too! You have a new subscriber for sure
Just realized it's more than 30 years since I played those... Darn it, time flies...
Nice to see our music gets the recognition it deserves somewhere. Most Brazilians don't know how rich our music used to be back then

Great book. Great composer and a wonderful person.
Your execution is Very, Very, veeery accurate for a stranger, a foreigner. It's so rare to finding someone who does a perfect Brazilian accent in guitar. Congrats! Do you know Baden Powell and your son, Marcel, and Raphael Rabello, Paulinho Nogueira or Yamandú Costa? All of them are excellent composers of acoustic guitar pieces. I think that you will like, If you doesn't know them. Hugs from Brazil!

Hi from Brazil, and thank you for bring us this!!!
Impressive and high quality interpretation. Heitor aka Villa-Lobos was a massive composer and classical guitar player. The Brazilian school of guitar players is plentiful of masterpieces like that. Many thanks lad for this beautiful presentation!
Best part of all this. I can find it being played everywhere here by talented musicians. its beautiful
I'm so honored to have studied in a music school that carries his name, here in Rio de Janeiro
How many guitarists can say with Lucas ...."when I used to be a classical guitar player ...." like saying ..."I was kicking around the summit of Everest one foggy afternoon when I decided I should probably head back down..." !!
Villa-Lobos makes us very proud for sure. This was a great homage, thank you! 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷
It's sad that most Brazilians don't know about our Brazilian classicals. I discovered Brazilian classical only after I left Brazil and took piano lessons in Canada.
