Adelita is slightly more challenging than Lagrima due to its tricky B section where we have some tough bar chords and stretches for the left hand.Ī very poetic and romantic piece in nature, titled as a Mazurka, a Polish dance in origin, usually quite up-beat, is somewhat sending a mixed message by having the tempo marking set at Lento. They fall in a unique category of their own in the sense that they are both "simple" miniature pieces but are by no means on a beginner level. If you are an advanced-beginner to an intermediate level guitarist, this is an ideal piece for you to have under your belt especially for entertaining friends at a party as well as a great encore in a concert.Īdelita and Lagrima have always made a perfect pair. You will learn about tone production, sustaining the notes in a lyrical way and the right vibrato. Either way, the melancholic and delicate characters of this piece is ideal for learning the fundamentals of romantic phrasing and rubato on the classical guitar. The second: It was written as an homage to his daughter’s passing. The first: It is said to have been written while Tárrega was touring in London, and that the English fog and overall lousy weather were at the root of it. There are two stories that are said to have inspired the writing of Lágrima. However, as easy as the opening bars are, there are some quite challenging passages which involve bar chords and half bar chords that are not easily executed. It is his most played piece and many times given as a beginner piece for people starting to play the guitar. Francisco Tarrega wrote this piece between 1889-1909, the exact date never having been catalogued. In this lesson Adam del Monte plays an N700 flamenco guitar by Altamira Guitars Here you will learn techniques that are not taught in colleges and universities (with the exception of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, where maestro del Monte teaches :-D ).
CLASSICAL GUITAR SHED TREMOLO CRACK
This video is as much for a classical guitar player as it is for a flamenco guitarist who wish to once and for all crack the mystery of these elusive techniques. These are the ultimate tools and techniques you need to play a great sounding rasgueado.Ī fair amount of classical guitar repertoire requires a properly executed rasguedo, yet the actual teaching of it and codifying into a detailed method and process is often lacking. All techniques are broken down in detail, and their application are provided with examples. This 3rd edition of Rasgueado Techniques is 110 minutes of intense video which includes 5 different types of Rasgueados, a Rumba pattern, Alzapua that crazy wild thing we do only with the thumb that sounds like thunder, and finally the unique sounding Thumb-Noodle Technique.
To quote maestro Pepe Romero: “where does it say in the Sevillanas by Juaquin Turina that you must play rasguedos that suck…”
Even though this technique has its roots in the classical guitar it is unfortunate that it is not used nearly enough in the classical guitar literature, and when it is, most classical guitarists don’t have much of a foundation in that technique. Rasgueado, or Rasgeo in Andalusian, is a right hand (if you are right handed!) strumming technique that is distinctly associated with flamenco guitar.
