    Fantastic! So great to understand the balance of the sound creation regarding the nails. More flesh tones it down and makes it warmer. More nails brightens it up and increases sound. There's a perfect balance to be achieved.

  • @BenjaminTurbucz
    @BenjaminTurbucz 7 лет назад +176

    There are 23 mhms in the video. Not considering the 8 second title at the beginning and the 8 second at the end of the video, the total length is 2 minute 35 second.
    So... 141 second divided by 23 mhm equals 1 mhm every 6,1 second in average. #dunnowhattosay

      This is a 2 year old comment but I almost gagged when I read it. "if not the best guitarist in the world." is one of the most grossly over exaggerated compliments you could ever give to someone so undeserving.
      I love her playing and I know she's accomplished, but she is far from the even the top 50 worlds best guitarist, let alone THE best haha.
      She's just one of the more famous. This doesn't mean she could play better than Tarrega, Segovia, Bream, Williams, or even David Russel, not to mention the amazing orient guitarists who could blow her out of the water as well.

      Dude, when you get personal advice from a literal legend in the field, you should feel honored and get motivated to improve. Anyone who can't take constructive criticism especially when it comes from an expert probably isn't cut out for this sort of thing anyway. The whole reason he probably did this was to get better and I bet he took the advice and is a far better player now.

    Mhm... Mhmm... Mhm... Ahaàa... Oh... Mhm... Mhm. I can relate to this guy; this is pretty common when you play for someone that is light years beyond your level.
    It actually happened to me almost a week ago when I had a short, 30 minute, masterclass with Jay Kacherski (Texas Guitar Quartet). I was like that the whole time, and, to make it even more akward, I was late. Definitely not one of my brightest moments, but absolutely a great experience. I just wish I had a little more time. Just to give a little bit of context, at the moment I'm a senior in high school student, I'm planning on being a Music Major, and the piece I performed was Prelude in D minor BWV 999.

  • @aronfra8071
    @aronfra8071 8 лет назад +1

    Isn't it also a matter personal preference when it comes to playing with nail, flesh or nail-&-flesh? I mean it depends on what sound and style we want to achieve and uphold.

    • @microcosm6871
      @microcosm6871 8 лет назад +2

      Sure. I think we always have the choice to ignore the advice of our teacher. It is after all, merely instruction, for which I presume this gentleman sought out. Classical music is not considered a 'free form' genre like Blues or Jazz. It is very disciplined and is to be played as a faithful representation of the piece. Also, as a listener, I agree with her advice. I don't like to hear the nail 'plucking' the string. I want to hear the guitar 'playing', not the guitar 'being played'.

    • @aronfra8071
      @aronfra8071 8 лет назад +1

      Well I think we really should respect and listen to other guitarists, specially ones who have far more experience and a much larger knowledge bank. But from what I've heard regarding this, it depends on which "guitar school" you belong to. I know Tarrega totally changed his technique after a number of years and played with pretty much no nail after all, which means also only flesh. Whilst other great guitarist would condone the technique he used... This is what I can remember at least.
