    Thank you for the good advices. I learned this piece 50 years ago, probably with the same challenges you mentioned in this video. Playing it slow is probably not so well understood when you are young. So it is very good advice. What is helping me personally most is 1. play without music sheet 2. keep the ego under control. Do not try to be better than you are. Relax. 🤓😋🥰. Do not be too stubborn on fingering and melody. Make it your own piece.

      What do you mean by ¨play without music sheet¨? I can't learn it by ear.

    • @UFO6600
      @UFO6600 2 года назад +13

      @@GordonLF Dear Hector, I normally do also not learn by ear, although this is sometimes a good exercise. Only when I forgot a piece or part of it, I try to reconstruct it first by ear. Or if a piece does not sound perfect to my ear, often the beginning or end, I change it by ear. But what I mean with play without music sheet is, do not use music sheets WHILE playing. When I had to play the piano as a child I could only play if I had music sheets in front of me. So I could sort of play like a robot and „sleep“ during playing. In this way I could not really play from the heart. When I learned Chinese a few years ago, my brain was sort of reprogrammed. After that I could learn sort of „picture like“ and not using much music theory or intelligent sequencing. Now also my ego has vanished, so I am also not afraid to make failures anymore, I even enjoy it and find it funny sometimes. Hope this long clarification helps. It is sometimes difficult to explain things in one sentence 😋🤓🥰. Have fun.

    i played banjo for 60 years. never followed good advice like yours, because there just wasn't so much advice (for banjo, anyway!) because i practiced all my bad habits, they 'sounded' okay until i started to really age. this turned out to be critical for my own musicianship. now, my physical limitations make my bad habits impossible to sustain... i practice employing proper hand position, wrist alignment, fretting everyday. progress is very slow, but it really doesn't matter if i 'run out of time'.

    A slow pace with relaxed hands and curved fingers to minimize injury and develop muscle memory and a suggestion to avoid the development of personal nuance or the introduction of the written tonal variation until the piece is entirely under your fingers. A measured and careful meditation upon foundation and intent meant to blossom with time and practice. A scientific approach. So rare and worthy to hear advise from a master to a nascent student of the classical guitar!

I just think you are one of God's gifts to US, to the world of music, and I know your talent did not develop overnight but through years of hard work and sacrifice.. when I was 16, and my friends were calling me to come outside in the summertime, I had to stay in and practice, but I had such a LOVE for it then I didn't even mind!.. I just get pure JOY watching YOU, Ana...
    I LOVE You, and hope to see you perform live someday!.. ❤

    Asturias is a piece Im pretty sure I will never be able to play, not even wrong. But good advices are always welcome, specially from the one that play the piece so well.
    As a funny fact, not sure why when watching and hearing Ana (or any other classical master) talk about how to position your hands and elbows, the first thing that comes to my mind is the video from Tommy Emmanuel playing Classical Gas and doing all the things "wrong". I guess different types of music requires different skills.

    I learnt the beginning of this piece a long time ago because the 2 first sections are easy while being pretty impressive and rewarding. I tried to learn the 3rd, but I didn't had the level to play it properly, so I kind of adapt it by "reversing the tremolo" because it's so much more natural for me. So instead of playing the si string, then the mi string, I'm doing the contrary. Don't do that. It's a pain to change, and the speed you gained playing that way will be halfed because you're not uses to practice the correct one, and it's very frustrating.

    The hard challenge about this song is not how fast it is or how complex chords are, but the pain on my tumb jajaja thats the challenge, beside i just play for fun, so something i just want to play a song before go to college or to work i know the full song but never warm up because dont have time jajajaja but wen i have the time to play more songs before asturias then i can play this very fast.

    1. Warm up beforehand, making sure that your wrist is straight, you’re playing with your fingertips, and your right hand is positioned straight
    2. Play very slowly at the beginning
    3. Practice with a metronome (don’t change the tempo while playing)
    4. When practicing, don’t play with “Colors”
    5. Practice by sections
    6. You don’t have to follow exactly the indications (ex: fingerings)
    7. Don’t get discouraged, it takes time but slow practice always pays off

    Excellent advice, however the main motivation in learning is enjoyment. If you want to let it rip and play full speed, do it. If you don't want to do 30 minutes of scales before playing, don't bother. By all means learn the correct techniques and practice them as much as you can - you will need them. But don't let dogma paralyse you into never picking up the instrument.
