You are a very successful teacher, a real teacher "without marketing". You are also a very good guitarist.

Thank you 🙏

Hah... love it... “The classical guitar police”... I should be be doing back to back life sentences for the amount of broken rules I’ve committed 🤣

Some pretty neat flubbing. Your mega-fast/shreddy arpeggios remind me of the rules of essay-writing: start and end well, and nobody cares about the middle.

@@TheVersatileGuitarist more "crossover" stuff like this please: there's plenty of classical/flamenco tutorials on KZread but few videos covering the pushing of boundaries.

Yes! Malmsteen ;-)

You’ve got that segovia thumb;)

That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever called it

Villa Lobos was big into sweepy arpeggios - check out his much imitated Etude No.2 also the B section of Prelude No.1 amongst others. Good practice.

Ooh err... hadn't heard of these pieces but just checked them out: totally insane! I now feel so bad about my apparently pathetic ability.....

Villa-Lobos is great, check out this video where I combine the arpeggios from Etude no 1 and no 2 back to back: The Exercise Every Fingerstyle Guitarist Should Know kzread.info/dash/bejne/omV6xZmpqNPcmco.html

When you say you don’t have to know the number are you implying that knowing the exact intervals doesn’t matter? Not an attack just a genuine question

No. But most people don’t know or care about that, and that’s just the way it is. And the truth is you don’t have to know what you’re doing to have fun doing it

Tried this and failed miserably. But hang on, your thumb defies the laws of anatomy!
