I only started classical guitar a few months ago. Covid Lockdown starter from the southern tip of Africa. I watched many classical guitar instruction videos. I am learning LáGrima now. I couldn't be happier to come across this video. You are SO well prepared. You know your theory. You know EXACTLY what you want to say and HOW to say it. Very calm and excellent explanations. I won't follow any other classical guitar instructors any more. Thank you very much.
+Frank Seymour Indeed. That actual challenge with this piece is to get music out of those few notes and that is much harder than just playing it with correct notes. It is so easy to get guitar to sound thin and nasal especially accompanying parts.
Thank you so much for this video. Absolutely beautiful way of teaching a piece. Don't worry about the ones in the comments who say its "easy" and "talking too much". If they don't understand the beauty and passion with which you teach the piece, they obviously have no idea what classical music is and how it should be played.
Very structured and logical approach to learning! Instaed of just memorizing fingerings and rhythm you really dive deep to point out the subtle keys to this piece. Big thumbs up!
Dr. Powis gets his points across clearly and succinctly with a short example. It is by far the best instructional video I've seen on the Internet on all subjects. Simon's video lesson got me re-examine how I play Lágrima. He gave me some new ideas and made explicit somethings that I had been doing intuitively. I purchased the workbook - very reasonably priced. Since, I've received a few additional lessons for free! - left and right hand technique and practice technique. They are what I've needed for awhile - my last lesson was many years ago with a long hiatus in playing; my technique in all areas has degenerated. The left hand technique lesson has already improved my playing. Thank you.
Just wanted to add to the constructive posts here in regards to the lesson. It's excellent - well planned and executed with great production value and lucid commentary. Too bad some offshore trolls are attacking your viewers. Don't let this discourage you from future posts. I imagine many are greatly appreciative of your efforts.
What a Great in-depth Lesson! Thank you for taking the time to post. Purchased the workbook. This piece seems so simple on first blush but drawing out the true heart and soul of the piece is quit challenging. Your workbook and lesson in invaluable in starting to understand this piece....measure by measure
This is the best teaching of Lagrima I’ve seen so far. Very well structured, explained, and demonstrated. Really appreciate it and thank you 🙏 for letting us learn it through your YT channel. So 👍. You are a great classical guitar teacher!
This is superb. It's so helpful to be so explicit. I struggled with this for months and made little progress and that was with a classical guitar teacher who mentioned nothing like this. It's as if he expected me to be able to play it by intuition. He did little more than show me where the notes were! Having watched this it makes me realise how poor my first three teachers were. I thought it was my fault even though I practised for 3 hours a day for 10 years. I understand everything in this lesson having misunderstood all of it before. It was as if I was asked to build a house with no tools or plans!
Just wanted to leave a compliment to offset some of the ignorance of the comment section. Many are sure to recognize the level of competence exhibited in your videos. Kudos.
Excellent presentation. Based on it, I purchased the very reasonably priced workbook. This was my way to show my support for this free posting. Even more so, I have have benefited from the materials. They have enhanced my understanding of the piece.
This is pure gold-dust to me. I'm self taught, don't read music but my enthusiasm is not lacking. I've managed to learn quite a few pieces to date, my favourite being Koyunbaba. But lagrima is one of my other faves. It's a beautiful piece with many aspects and I'm so glad to have discovered this video. Everything you say makes complete sense and is enormously helpful. I'm aware that this is a relatively simple piece, but strangely - it's the one piece that I have found very very difficult to do justice. I feel very clumsy when playing Lagrima, and I think you have touched upon my problems in this lesson and I can't wait to sit down with my guitar and apply your advice. You are a great teacher, you are very articulate and precise. I wasn't confused at any time while listening . Thank you very much for giving your time and experience for FREE !!
Simon, I really appreciate this resource. I have a BA in classical guitar performance and I teach privately, but I will be subscribing to your teaching to help hold my own teaching accountable. Keep up the good work! P.S. I found this because of your podcast.
Thank you so much for taking me for an other level of learning and understanding guitar and music all together as well. You are very good teacher. Please stay on tube and share with us your self :)
It is a great tutorial... but there is one glaring error... just like the note he tells you not to make stand out like a sore thumb. He calls the main note of the piece, the E... high E on measure 8 an accompaniment note... It is the tonic resolution note... so I was like, what? Also, not everyone understands that there are fine details to playing perfected classical guitar pieces
Hi Simon, please do more in depth guides like this for other songs, like Maria luisa for example. This ones really good, and there's lots of applicable lessons for how you approach playing pieces in general.
This one of the pieces I was rehearsing when I did not have the time anymore to play the guitar ... 11 years ago.. My teacher played it ... but did not explain the 'composition' in all of the dimensions which are explained in this video. And yes, experts will say it misses things or things can be explained in an other way. I get motivated by this video to start practicing again. Big thanks !!!
Thanks for the tutorials & I've now purchased your workbook for this piece.Having just got back into playing the guitar ,this site & your presentation and attention to detail are greatly appreciated .
Hi! Thank you for this video class! By the way I am teaching this piece to my students, and many approaches that you show are also the ones I use in my class.
Very good lesson. I had already know how to play this piece but you explained it so well that i wanted to watch the whole video. It is very interesting the way you explain all the parts of the pie.ce
+Rennoly Grisnen Thanks very much Rennoly. I put a lot of thought into my lessons on ClassicalGuitarCorner.com so I am glad you found it useful! I will aim to make some more. Any requests?
I am learning a piece called xodó da baiana by Dilermando Reis I think it will be interesting to know what you think about this piece and which way we can approach this piece.
Excellent lesson. Very well analysed and explained, technique as well as interpretation. Shows how much thought and effort needs to be put in, in order to play well. I wonder though if playing the melody with rest stroke might not be a good idea.
Good work mate! Very informative, has made me look at the piece with a completely different perspective than before. keep it up. I'm going to your website to check out the books.
Thanks for sharing that video Simon... it is amazing because I picked up the guitar just tonight and played that piece... as well as Adelita. They both share the E major E minor format. A comment was made about how easy it is to learn the piece, and when you start adding Dynamics and paying attention to your phrasing and utilizing all the colors that the guitar has to offer, then you are truly playing!! And I am in total agreement. That separates the amateur from the professional. And like you said the idea is to take the music and create your own interpretation and individualize how you approach the notes, and create something special and beautiful. The Lovers Concerto by Bach and the Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven are next on my list. Going to be a challenge... But well worth it. Thanks again for the insight... And Enjoy the holidays.
Hi Kevin, thanks for your thoughtful note. Yes, the fine detail in a piece is one of the beautiful aspects of our journey. Even though it can be challenging it provides a lot to explore.
That guitar has a beautiful clear treble tone . Ive always been into electric guitars for the last 25 years and steel string accoustic . Playing heavy metal and grange like Nirvana . I was always under the impression that guitars that have nylon strings were for people starting out with guitars until they can go to steel strings . Only recently I learned that a nylon guitar is a classical guitar all on its own , and has nothing to do with people learning to play guitar . I cant believe I only learned about this after all these years . I really like classical guitar now and have a Yamaha nylon guitar. I would like to get a Cordoba Spanish guitar c3m and use that to get real good till I can get a Cordoba c7 which is even better in sustain and over all quality . To be honest I think I even like classical guitar better then steel string guitar as the sound makes it so therapeutic.
dude you're a really good teacher thank you. I found everything you said relevant and succinct. People who want more guitar! less talk! are never going to have the patience to learn classical songs properly :o)
Sam Lee Hi Sam, thanks so much for the kind words. I work hard to prepare the lesson in advance so I can communicate well, I am glad it worked for you.
Classical Guitar Corner I hate to break to you...but you lost at the beining because it's simply too long....if you have to show people how you played the fucken scale it's not going to help them...especially on a fucken guitar without inlays. god damn it. I hated retarded music teacher that has to complicate the living shot out of everything.
kim young Then get a god damn book, Idiot. You didn't pay a penny for this lesson. It's not his problem you're really stupid to realize it's valuable information.
Armando Urquidez There's other scales aside the major....such as the Natural minor. Harmonic minor Major harmonics Double harmonics minors Melodic minors You keep it simple and build triads/chords/mode using EVERY OTHER NOTE...and get back to me when you master the lesson Ive given you.... Stop calling the modes within those scale exotics scales or give them retarded names.. Learn them..bitch. That's a total of 35 basic modes... Donate the money to homeless children,.... Basic pentatonic..with the various option notes. minor R............b3..x..4...x..5..............b7..x...R Major... R...x....2....x....3............5...x...6.............R... Get back to me when you can play it forward, back wards, upside down and inside out... Again...don't be a dickhead. Donate the money to children that really needs help...
Armando Urquidez haha dude you're hilarious, good burns :o) this other guy seems insanely angry but there's the outside chance he's a musical genius.. it's a tricky balancing act I'm sure.
So beautiful! 💗 dreaming about a classical guitar and hope to start learning this year. Although my acoustic guitar is so bulky, I find it easier to learn a ukulele. Can you guys make a video comparing for example entry level yamaha guitars like c40, cg122c/s , and 142 and Cordoba guitars for beginners. I'd also watch reviews & demos of 3/4 & travel size guitars.
Did you like our Choro or Chorinho ? Brazil for me has most increrible classic guitars pieces You should list GENTE HUMILDE by GAROTO means humble people
Hey!!! We have electric guitars now. Why play this fossil of an instrument? (Sarcasm). I love classical guitar, the sweet soothing sound of nylon strings.
I am fairly new to playing classical guitar so I didn't have a very good understanding of voicing and phrasing until watching this video. You have now ruined a number of pieces played by other people that I used to think were very good lol. I really like your choices in phrasing and voicing compared to many others I've heard playing the same songs.
I recently got a new Alvarez-Yairi CYM75 and don’t wanna sticker it up. I see some of the professionals have two dots on the side of their neck at 5 & 7 frets.
Great lesson but a question. Not sure how these scales relate to the shifts required in this piece. Both shifts to the 9th pos are coming directly from 1st position. Also, I agree that there options to the melody that through what is written still follow good voice leading. But great lesson. I think it can be a g c# f# d e.
Hi Lawrence, glad you enjoyed the lesson! The good thing about the shifts is we can use open strings to give us time to shift. I'm not sure I understand your question about the scales, but we have two different scales in this piece: E Major (E F# G# A B C# D#) and E Harmonic minor (E F# G A B C D#). Hope this helps. -Dave B
thanks for the lesson! quick question: how can i move between two distant fingerings without unwanted open strings resonating? bar 7 for example, i understand that the open e string gives time to prepare barring of second fret, but in between, i get the open d and b strings resonating in between positions... thanks!

This is the best free classical guitar lesson I have ever encountered. Thank you so much. I hope your students realize how lucky they are.

I won't follow any other classical guitar instructors any more. Thank you very much.
It's somewhat easy to learn if you're just "playing the notes". But to master it and play it with dynamics and feeling is a totally different beast.
+Frank Seymour Indeed. That actual challenge with this piece is to get music out of those few notes and that is much harder than just playing it with correct notes. It is so easy to get guitar to sound thin and nasal especially accompanying parts.
no
I love this corner of the guitar universe. I love your delivery and your lessons. thank you!!

Excellent! An eye opener. Best lagrima tutorial video on youtube in my opinion. Thanks for posting!!
jaurous Very kind of you, thanks.
Totally agree with you!
Dr. Powis gets his points across clearly and succinctly with a
short example. It is by far the best instructional video I've seen on
the Internet on all subjects.
Simon's video lesson got me re-examine how I play Lágrima. He gave me some new ideas and made explicit somethings that I had been doing intuitively.
I purchased the workbook - very reasonably priced. Since, I've received a few additional lessons for free! - left and right hand technique and practice technique. They are what I've needed for awhile - my last lesson was many years ago with a long hiatus in playing; my technique in all areas has degenerated. The left hand technique lesson has already improved my playing.
Thank you.
Just wanted to add to the constructive posts here in regards to the lesson. It's excellent - well planned and executed with great production value and lucid commentary.

Wow-what a great tutorial - thanks - lots of tips that made my Lagrima sound so much better than I have been playing it for the last 20 years.
This is the best teaching of Lagrima I’ve seen so far. Very well structured, explained, and demonstrated. Really appreciate it and thank you 🙏 for letting us learn it through your YT channel. So 👍. You are a great classical guitar teacher!
Thank you Terence for the nice words! I am so glad you like the channel and the teaching
Well said Terence!
This is one of four pieces for ABRSM grade 5 I'm doing. This video is invaluable for seeing how this should be played.
I love this piece and you understand how to interpret it and teach with clarity how to play it.
Wow, What a presentation !! that's excellent, you are a TRUE teacher.
Best guitar tutor on youtube by miles. Intelligent, musical and succinct. Thank you.

What a beautiful piece of music. You really played that piece so wonderfully with a solid color of lagrima.
I forgot the name of the song, and I did a RUclips search on "classical repertoire" and found your video. Thanks a million!
Just wanted to leave a compliment to offset some of the ignorance of the comment section. Many are sure to recognize the level of competence exhibited in your videos. Kudos.
What a tutorial! Thank you for posting this. As a beginner, I feel like I now a have a tool to really help me get into the pieces. Thanks again.
I like that you provide detailed theory in the beginning. It is important. Serious approach.
Excellent presentation. Based on it, I purchased the very reasonably priced workbook. This was my way to show my support for this free posting. Even more so, I have have benefited from the materials. They have enhanced my understanding of the piece.

Very glad to hear, Jan! Happy practicing.
Great playing. Also it is simply awesome to hear your exposing the real depth in this piece by looking at all the elements. Thank you.

Great work! This is helpful for me both as a player and teacher. I'm gonna try the idea of separating melody and bass with my students more now. :)
I love this piece. I love the way you teach and the workbook is amazing.
I love classical music in guitar :) Thanks for sharing your knowledge to us
Marvelous...I'm going to start learning right now, Your teaching is excellent. Thank you

What about choro da saudade by Agustín Barrios?
or another from Tárrega, like Isabel
Beautiful music. Beautifully presented. Gracias!
78 thumbs down, that's how you weed out non talented people. great lessons!
Excellent lesson. Very well analysed and explained, technique as well as interpretation. Shows how much thought and effort needs to be put in, in order to play well. I wonder though if playing the melody with rest stroke might not be a good idea.
Thank you very much. I have a greater understanding of the piece and will definitely purchase the workbook. Thanks again.
Great video, I have learned something new although Lagrima was a part of my audition to musical school.
(Felt in love at 17:48 😊 )
Good work mate! Very informative, has made me look at the piece with a completely different perspective than before. keep it up. I'm going to your website to check out the books.
Thanks for teaching the correct pronunciation.
Oh man!, this is amazing. Thank you very much!, you are a fantastic teacher thank you!. Blessings!. and i hope you had a fantastic year!.

Seriously who would click thumbs down on this?

Hey!!! We have electric guitars now. Why play this fossil of an instrument? (Sarcasm). I love classical guitar, the sweet soothing sound of nylon strings.

Please, a tuto of the canon d of pachelbel!
Thank you for your suggestion, we will keep that in mind for future projects!
Thank you, very much.
great work,thanks
I like the lesson. Thanks a lot
hey bro i like this piece u nailed it,,thanks
Great lesson. Makes me feel like playing it is impossible.😂
You can do it, Robert! -Dave B

I really like your choices in phrasing and voicing compared to many others I've heard playing the same songs.
Hello fellow musician. I like your lessons a bunch. Curious, what's your opinion on having dots along the neck of the fingerboard ?
If they are useful, use as many as you need!
I recently got a new Alvarez-Yairi CYM75 and don’t wanna sticker it up. I see some of the professionals have two dots on the side of their neck at 5 & 7 frets.
@@robdonell9915 Another possibility is to use a small dot of white-out, which is removable like stickers.
Wonderful
Great lesson but a question. Not sure how these scales relate to the shifts required in this piece. Both shifts to the 9th pos are coming directly from 1st position. Also, I agree that there options to the melody that through what is written still follow good voice leading. But great lesson. I think it can be a g c# f# d e.
Hi Lawrence, glad you enjoyed the lesson! The good thing about the shifts is we can use open strings to give us time to shift. I'm not sure I understand your question about the scales, but we have two different scales in this piece: E Major (E F# G# A B C# D#) and E Harmonic minor (E F# G A B C D#). Hope this helps. -Dave B

thanks for the lesson! quick question: how can i move between two distant fingerings without unwanted open strings resonating? bar 7 for example, i understand that the open e string gives time to prepare barring of second fret, but in between, i get the open d and b strings resonating in between positions...
