My teacher gave me this piece right before quarantine so we hadn't worked on it.... But fortunately I found you!!! I really like this piece! Keep going!
I love the way you present tunes. There are a lot of thoughts that help me understanding the music. I am still struggling with techniques, though. Thanks a lot for your work and support.
Thanks for this. I'm playing this in my lessons and it's always nice to have additional instruction. I wanted to add that my teacher's teacher's teacher was Villa Lobos, and he recommends strumming the chords in that B section and the separated strings in the A section like the open E and F# on the 4th string to play both notes with the thumb as being more true to the original intent.
Great tutorial. Thanks. Regarding my two cents on the squeaks, I guess it's ok to have them on this piece as villa lobos has so many crazy shifts that it's almost inevitable to have some squeaks, especially when you start to learn it.
Unless you have had lots of previous guitar or music experience I would advise against moving so quickly. You want to develop your technique and musicality in small increments so that your muscle memory does not form and solidify bad habits. But of course, I can't really say without seeing your playing so this is just a cautionary comment.
@Thisisclassicalguitar 1: thank you for replying, your videos are extremely helpful and it's only more motivating to see you interact so much 2: you're very right. I had to put it back last semester and let it marinate a bit. A Brouwer book, Sor + Carcassi Etudes later I'm giving it another go and it feels nice, paired with your guide 🙏
@@Thisisclassicalguitar any advice on practicing the run down the E major chord within your 'pet peev' section. I struggle to make it smooth and concise. Great videos, and much love from England
It's normal to have fret buzz when I pluck harder the E note after the slide in just the beginning of the piece?? Just wanna know if i'm the only one, or if it happens to you too. Thanks!
Hmm, could be either your action is too low or you are pushing it beyond the guitar's limit. Or you need to graduate to higher tension strings (careful of that one though). Usually, the more advanced the player the higher the action which seems contradictory but pros dig in hard to be heard in concert halls.
I love your channel - the playing, advise and guitars......Could u please tell me what microphone and camera is use? The clarity of the guitar is fantastic!!
I'm really diggin' these lessons you've been giving us here on youtube, much appreciated. I didn't realize that Joseph-Gordon Levitt had a VIRTUOSO guitarist as a brother............ JK.... ;- )

Can you make tutorial for the lonely shepherd
And thank you so much
This is pure gold.Thank you so much .

The part on the 27 minute mark, I like to do a glissando from the f# to the D# and D which I think sounds good
1.5 years of guitar and im boutta throw down on this song

this year we remember the 60th anniversary of Villa Lobos's death
Oh wow, thanks, I didn't even think of that.
Been working on this a while now, perfect timing for this video!
Happy practicing.

Hi, just wondering where can I purchase Villa Lobos Prelude no 1, music score.?
Kind to show me the link, please.
You can get the collected guitar works (Eschig edition) but not many fingerings in there: amzn.to/32E6cEc

You can find my gear here (this video is the UA interface and the two AT mics): www.thisisclassicalguitar.com/classical-guitar-store-reviews/
Thank you, thank you,
Thanks for watching!
Been waiting for this piece for a while, great video and amazing tips
Thanks, hope it helps!
I like the idea of playing the bass, cello line on its own first. I can at least do that. It’s a good start.
Muito bom!
I'm really diggin' these lessons you've been giving us here on youtube, much appreciated.

JK.... ;- )
Ha, I usually get more of Mark Wahlberg
Great song, thanks. Is there a chess clock over there ?
Thanks ! 🇧🇷
Thanks for watching 🇨🇦
The hardest part of playing this piece seems to be musical expression
Ya, that's true. There is really only one or two tricky spots and the rest is about controlling the texture and shaping that melody.
Parli troppo.
Masterpiece, thanks for the lesson.
Glad you enjoyed it!
