tough teacher, but he is dealing with advanced players who are very skilled and need to be challenged. the chaconne is such an emotional masterpiece, it demands a full commitment to bring out the emotion. i love it!

She is absolutely amazing.

More power to you young lass. I'm a 55 yr old Aussie and I've been playing my entire life and I can't imagine having had the guts to perform the Chaconne when I was your age; heck probably even now. Your fingers can do it and I'm sure that you learned so much from this and now, nine years since, I'm sure that you play that so, so differently and so well. You really have guts and play really well, I'd love to hear how you play now. Thank you, Mr Azabagic for another great lesson. I'm binge watching your youtube videos.

I watched his video of La Cathedral recital like at least 12 years ago and I was just shocked by how beautifully he played that masterpiece without even looking at the frets. He just transported you. Even now when I watch this video, it gives me chill because he just plays.

Thanks Denis for your insight.. Color, Dynamics, and Emotion are all important parts of Performing the music, as well as the notes being played. I like when you asked where she was... because sometimes we fall into the trap of just playing the music without thinking about how to play it. GREAT JOB!!!

Very interesting thank you for putting this out there to see. I’m also loving the new uploads.

Great class! Great music! Great artists!

His guitars volume is like a cannon compared to hers, wow.

a guitar crafted by a luthier will have more pronounced acoustics than a store bought assembly line guitar. and yes hand strength plays a vital role in projection

More like the mic placement. His voice is also 10x louder than hers.

I like this teacher best.

This is a very important teacher. He is teaching how to feel in general, some of us, simply, do not know how...

Fabulous Denis.

He's actually kind and a great teacher.

I like SEgovia´s interpretation for he understood that the part is just the most effective way to record at the time, not a stiff rule

I think it is also his technique that makes his guitar sound so loudly! :)

Great student, great teacher.

his guitar sounds amazing

Most of them would rather have a teacher be their best bud and tell them they’re doing great. I’ve been in the hot seat worse than this and it’s important that you have a teacher like this and equally important to learn to take this kind of criticism and worse or you’ll always remain mediocre. Dennis is doing a great job getting the point across. My teacher can go from my friend to harsh critic and back again with no seams and I appreciate that because I’m not paying him to tell me I’m great when I’m not, I pay him to push me in ways I am not likely to myself and show me perspectives that I wouldn’t otherwise see on my own. This piece in particular is a monster and commands some serious dedication.

бесподобно. девушка на такой скорости играет пассажи, что просто фантастика! она молодец.

Wonderful teacher and brilliant student. Where does he find all these excellent students? I guess good teachers just attract good students.

Nice...

Excellent work! It is difficult as a teacher to balance the musicality and personality of each student. It’s not telling them how to play a piece but to make them understand and internalized the music played. You are a wonderful teacher, congrats!

Aula excelente!I'm trying to have guitar classes in the internet.Thanks for help me. How can I get more?Antonio from Brazil.

You are such an awesome teacher

The teacher doesn't look at his hands while he's playing - he looks at the music.

You played this incredible....One comment he should have brought up is her right hand never moves to play with the color that the guitar has to offer her

sensational which country he teach??/

This teacher is really really good even though he can be a bit hard sometimes ( just my feeling )

How much does he charge per lesson ?

How many of you are physically tired and drained after you play this piece ? Or any difficult piece ?

I haven't played this specific piece, but I'm normally mentally more tired than physically. Physically it's just the thumb on the right hand that may start to hurt after practicing for a while.

The section starting 13:45 is great. Wold be interesting to see how she's doing 3 years later.

where is this? some conservatory?

Останавливать ученика во время исполнения не корректно, а когда сам преподаватель показывает сам на инструменте, то для закрепления нужно не только сыграть ученику, но и как то зафиксировать это в нотах, сделать пометку в конкретном такте или несколько таков обозначить.

I hate and love the teacher at the Same Time. But SHE is absolutely great!!

Why did not he advise on her right hand position? 　She was always in the same position, so · · ·

John Brothers why not? The students new to know where to go..

Yes.... yes... a teacher suggesting his student to 'break out of the matrix' (to use a cliche) and reach into the divine is not something you see every day.

The teacher looks like 'Buster keaton' hence his stony face, the student looks intimidated sadly...

Love his advice but not everything he teaches is bible. I believe you have to play with soul, love and passion over technique

Story. The opening chords, God just created the Big Bang...variations are the swirling atoms and gases forming the universe to the recapitalization being man's appearance

Hey my friend all we are teachers guitar ,why you judge badly such a teacher if you are good than him show us your videos to criticize which is better

the teacher is not giving the piece any sort of breathing. it feels very rushed and it almost sounds like they're competing for volume rather than clarity..

I think you will find he is an outstanding teacher. I had lessons with him and I am not an advanced player. He is incredibly patient and loves teaching anyone - as in me - I learned so much from him - stuff which no one else seems to know or want to tell. He didn't act like Segovia with me and he doesn't here. What he is is disciplined and he wants players to be the same.

Azabagic is an absolutely amazing teacher. If you don’t point out and isolate a student’s weaknesses, how else are they supposed to improve? This is what is lacking with most teachers today. How else would she know where to improve without honest feedback and criticism? This young lady couldn’t ask for a better teacher in my opinion, and I’m sure she’s even a much better player now as a result.

Where are you??? That is so stupid. I would look at him and say gone. Later dude. He is getting deep but she does not even play the correct rhythms. They are dotted. Correct the basics then go deep... I studied with Pepe Romero, David Tanenbaum, Christopher Parkening and never would I enjoy learning from a teacher like this. She would be much better off just playing alone. Finding her own voice. IMHO......

@markworthi

She will find (or, by now, probably has found) her own voice. But she has the humility and maturity to recognize that, in the meantime, she can still learn from this excellent teacher. In this video, she's a very good player who makes a few mistakes-- which is understandable, under the pressure of scrutiny of a masterclass. The reason he asked her "Where are you?" is that he immediately recognized what is obvious to all who watch the video: that her nerves were preventing her from getting in the moment and attaining the frame of mind necessary to play the chaconne. I doubt highly that she has any regrets about this experience.

Please, Master, put up a video of your performance of the Chaconne so this poor misguided underling can learn the proper way to play it and thus teach it more effectively.
