My first time hearing this. I found these pieces to be very lovely and intriguing, but also daunting. I am an absolute beginner, and having you say that I am the audience that these were written for is the "daunting" part! I would add the word "serious" to that description, having it then read as "serious absolute beginner"! it is a real challenge for me to think of being able to play these decently, but they are just intriguing enough for me to want to. Thank you for this video and for bringing these to my attention. I may just decide to take this challenge on!
Op. 44 by Sor is a fine set of studies but, I’m thinking how many absolute beginner guitarists have decided to stick to the kazoo! He obviously had high expectations of his students. A very nice presentation here! 😊👍
I would say definitely not for absolute beginners but maybe after a few months for the first few maybe up to definite intermediate territory. One thing we have to realise is Sor’s guitars had a shorter scale length so these would be easier to play (i’d love to try a Lacote style guitar). There is a stretch in the Sor/Segovia no 17 (can’t remember the original opus no) which has a full barre at fret 3, your big finger on fret four and the pinky all the way up to fret 7 (and in a shifting chord sequence too): nasty. I was doing well until I got there and then it stopped me dead. Sor is always worth the time and effort though: many thanks David.
That is a good question, I found this, but not sure how true it is: Start with Opus 60 and Opus 44, then Opus 35 and Opus 31, and finally Opus 6 and Opus 29 in that order
Well, my point in the description was that there's no way an absolute beginner could play some of these!... Listen to no.24! Id cherry pick studies from each of the sets, depending on what your technique needs and which you enjoy listening to.
@@davidjaggs some of these seem to be beginner level, but others more advanced. my problem is I want to learn all of the hard ones before I learn anything else. But I have to remind myself start small and work my way to more advanced pieces and studies.
I can learn these pieces relatively quickly as in playing it to 75% speed , just to get them up to required tempo s takes me ages and I get bored of the piece
Listening again and playing through a few , it really is very difficult to play them to such a high level as you do , eg no 4 is a nice one to play but your tempo is just so fast , of course I realise you are a concert pro and I’m a hobbyist, my point is in the hands of a master these pieces sound completely different
They don't have to be fast.. some will disagree with my interpretations. I'm sure you can make them sound equally interesting at a slower pace. I actually considered putting two versions of some of these out, but it's hard enough doing one!
@@AlanMcCarthyguitar took a few weeks looking through them, enjoyable, relaxing work in the evenings, I recorded and edited over a weekend, working all hours!

Thanks David, great playing and fantastic guide to work through these pieces. Not easy at all though and they require careful practice. Warm regards.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, this is great!

The first two are fairly straightforward. 😊
Great collection--thanks!
Thanks for watching, Steven.
24 Stücke 🎸🎶 in einem Video zu spielen war wirklich sehr nett und Großartig. Ich spiele auch einige dieser Kompositionen.
Vielen Dank lieber David 🙏🕊
Hope you enjoy them! 😊
@@davidjaggsdass habe ich 😊 und werde es speichern 🤗
Grande maestro 💯💪🇦🇷

Brilliant!
21 and 24 my favourite s of the set
I like 24 too, Also 23! Sounds like an old 60s film score!
@@davidjaggs yeah Peter Sellers as Clouseau just about to annoy Dreyfus @no 23!
@mattbod that's it!
GRAZIE !!!

Kazoo! 🤣🤣
@@davidjaggs ha ha!! Yeah I was gonna say claves but it could’ve upset any percussionists watching!!
@@mattie5161 😊
No. 24 looks interesting!
@@tony89718 it's fun!
@@davidjaggs looks like a good prerequisite for the Carcassi studies!
David I got my dates wrong: DC’s recital at Morchard Bishop Parish Church is next Sunday the 13th. I’ll be in touch with the time.
Ok, might be trickier for me! If I can't go , do say hello to David for me.
@@davidjaggs Hi David DC’s recital is at 3pm at Morchard Bishop Parish Church!
@@davidjaggs Hi David it’s 3pm. Shaun Newman will be exhibiting some guitars too.

Thanks for your play, which goes first Op44 or Op60.

This was nice surprise!
You usually send out these pieces one by one ??
Yes, they're so short, I thought it'd be good to do them as one! I'm going to release the shorter ones as RUclips shorts!
I can learn these pieces relatively quickly as in playing it to 75% speed , just to get them up to required tempo s takes me ages and I get bored of the piece
@@AlanMcCarthyguitar it'll do you good though, all that sight-reading!
Hello David, I'm learning Giuliani's opus 48 in full . What grade do you think they are?
Thanks you for the videos, it's great help! You are brillant guitarist.
🙏
They vary. Some, like the first and second are grade 2 maybe, but the last for example seems like around grade 8!
@@davidjaggs Thanks you !
P.S were Sor’s pupils better: probably not but they were not distracted by smart phones, games consoles and fortnite lmao. The guitar was their fun!
Very true!
Lessons for absolute beginners ?!? You're kidding.
That's what I thought!!!
Sor's opus titles are way too humbling 😅 op 5 is called "6 VERY EASY short pieces" and boy, that no 5 is anything but VERY EASY 😂😂
@@guilhermegranda3869 he must have had some great pupils!
I spoke to my teacher. He said it was the publisher’s marketing spin: put beginner on it and sell more copies!
@mattbod always knew team Sor were a money grabbing crowd

@@davidjaggs wow I so envy your gigantic skill and talent, that’s amazing
@@AlanMcCarthyguitar thanks Alan, I'm not sure you weren't being sarcastic! I should be able to sightread these really!
Nothing special. If I practice for 100 years I can play this as well.
1 year maybe!!?
@@davidjaggs No, I need 100 years.
