I help classical and flamenco guitar students understand and play their music confidently with proven strategies that minimize challenges and accelerate progress.
I find after playing 99 %of time on my own that I when I try to play for people I can see them in my peripheral vision , it just totally distracts me and puts me off , not to mention my hands just tense up making shifts next to impossible, performing is just brutal hard !! Good tip here though! I often ask performers how do they get a piece from good in the the practice room to good on the stage ! It’s gigantic leap

Is it okay if my right index, middle and ring finger have a long fingernail? I'm kind of worried if this could disrupt the tremolo technique while playing/plucking the string. And do I also have to practice the right pinky to play the tremolo as a beginner, or is it a personal option if you'd like to play with four fingers?

@DiegoAlonsoMusic27 күн бұрын
You’re very very welcome! Yes, I think two different pieces in a day is perfectly fine. Personally, I don’t like working on more than two at the same time in general unless the third piece is relatively short and significantly easier than the other two. I hope this helps!

Hi! Thanks for your comment! Melodía de Sor could very well be another one a very many titles given to this piece since it may have even been written by Sor himself. Musicologists Nacho Bellido (2011), Pedro Martinez Pinilla (n.d.) and Rico Stover (2013) point to either Antonio Rubira Peral (1821-1880) or Fernando Sor (1778-1839) as the probable composers.

That's awesome explanation, but how to get to such speed? The accent should be on I finger going up? Can't make it sound continious ;(
@DiegoAlonsoMusicАй бұрын
Hi Andrey! There are several strategies to build speed. They all start with the overarching rule to keep the fingers loose and light. Avoid playing with unnecessary tension because that will slow you down. For the accents, I recommend practicing your accents on different fingers so that your overall rasgueado sounds balanced. Once it does, you can chose to accent one finger over another. I hope that helps!
