@@codytheprick8554 there are a lot of good teachers out there but people underestimate the amount of time and effort needed to “master” something. I spent over 1000 hours playing and learning chess this year and while I’m getting decent, I’m nowhere near being “good”. Anyone can become good at something if they are willing to really put in the efforts. Some might be faster learners but everyone needs to commit 100%.

I find that a similar thing happens with visual art too. People are always blown away by realistic rendering because complexity is conflated with difficulty, but that same complexity is very good at hiding mistakes. I find that heavily stylised illustration is much more difficult to get right, as a single line out of place will destroy a likeness or make your perspective look wrong. When all you have are a dozen notes you have nowhere to hide even the tiniest mistake.

European classical musicians in the 18th and 19th centuries didn't just play straight from the page; they embellished pieces and added ornaments and didn't treat them as carved in stone.

Absolutely right! I'm a jazz musician and I was taught early on that if you really want to learn something do it VERY slowly. There are so many elements to every note, how they connect to each other, and what the overall presentation of a melody contains. ❤

This is so true! When I first started playing, my hand is at electric, and one of the easiest things to do on that instrument is fast fret tapping. I am trying to branch out more into classical guitar, and I completely hear what you mean here. You're very talented! Brava wherever you are heading!

I agree with her. Stuff like tremolo and playing fast or playing lots of notes is pretty easy because it doesn't require any thought, you've just been up the muscle memory over months or years of practice. Playing slowly, however, is pretty tough because you need to think a lot more about dynamics, tempo, tone color, and more, and be able to execute it perfectly and beautifully in order to convey whatever mood or emotion you want to convey. Edit: After 2 months I change my mind, tremolo is hard ): Playing slowly with dynamics and good tone however just kind of comes naturally ive found, after lots of experience and comfort/confidence with the instrument in your hands

Ah yes, I can confirm, People always want to hear Asturias and think that's the hardest piece, but it definitely isn't. I play a piece of Bach (BWV 1000) and I can guarantee you, that that piece is both musically and technically much harder

In most cases when it comes to my playing classical guitar, less is more and the timing of what most would call "simple" is so challenging! You really REALLY need an internal metronome and your knowledge of advanced music theory needs to be DRILLED into your brain. This is a perfect example of what the audience would think is more impressive.

I don't get when people say easy music is harder, especially when they say, getting the tone or playing slow songs is more difficult because you have to articulate. Articulation applies to hard songs as well people. Its just its twice as hard to get proper articulation on fast songs so you don't really try. In this case the song played first is harder and I really don't think that's an opinion I would even say its more of just a fact.

Comments not passing the vibe check. She's illustrating what most musicians say. When you've practiced enough hours, it's not about the technique in the playing, but the feeling behind the artist, how you emote with the instrument. Playing notes fast is difficult, but eventually achievable, the next challenge is learning to play notes slowly again, exude the right feeling and catch the attention of the room.

So true! It seems to be easier for some than others, all else being equal. I remember hearing Segovia play something and thinking his tremolo in it wasn't very good. He just plowed through it hoping it would be done soon, seemingly. It was probably some der rigueur piece like Recuerdos or something, and demand being what it is, he likely couldn't NOT play it, though it seemed he'd rather be playing anything else!

The thing that's hard is finding a guy that wants to play with you and then convincing him he's off rhythm when he's drunk.
