I sold it to a close friend and I thought it was the end of my wannabe history of guitar playing. A couple of weeks ago, my father (75 yo) gave me his guitar and I felt obligated to learn how to play and I always was intrigued by this technique. I truly thank you Brandon for putting this together... I´ll be practicing until I master this even if this is the only thing I can play correctly. Kudos and thank you man.

    Excellent approach. Brandon, would you do a tutorial on nails perhaps? How do you look after yours, what do you use?
    I know it's a personal thing and we all have different things that work for our specific nail types. It would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    • @nextlifeonearth
      @nextlifeonearth 4 года назад +20

      I used to play guitar, but couldn't get rid of my nail biting habit. My teacher told me I couldn't play like that (though I did mostly fine in volume and precision, even with tremolo)
      Now I play lute, which was historically played with the finger tips, not the nails. Who's laughing now HAHA.

      @@nextlifeonearth there is no way in heaven you could do tremolo without nails. You would have no volume and only the bass melody would be heard as the P finger is the strongest plucker.

    • @costa5140
      @costa5140 4 года назад +15

      That's a false notion. I have been playing with no nails for some time now, after many years of playing with nails, and my tremolo is better than it ever was before; no more clickety-clack of nails against the strings. Volume is not a problem either; if anything I'm able to push the strings more without having to worry about getting a nasty, scratchy sound at top-volume. The idea that you loose volume without nails is another false notion. You get more higher partials present when you play with nails - hence the twangier tone - which makes it easier to project and stick out in chamber-ensambles. This is why a lot of baroque theorbo players who worked in operatic settings would use their nails, while most historical players seems to have favoured the no-nails approach for solo literature.

    Just bought classical guitar and wanted to learn this neat trick. Safe to say that this is the best video that I've found explaining this technique and next to that Brandon teaches a nice tune to learn. I've always found it boring to just practice playing without actually playing something. I've been following Ben Eller for electric guitar tutorials and he does the same thing, makes exercise fun and interesting. Great job Brandon, I'll surely be combing through your guitar tip videos! Much love from Serbia! ❤️

Due to covid (and university) I have other financial priorities, hence I cannot afford a teacher at this point in my life. Your videos helped me get back on track practicing this wonderful technique.

    This is an awesome lesson. Thank you, Brandon.
    I've been a self taught guitarist now for about 20 years, and in my infinite fumblings, I've learned a lot of these little techniques the "wrong way" so to speak.
    What I'm finding getting some good advice from guitarists like you, is that I have effectively drilled a lot of these motions into myself very very well by ruling out almost everything that doesn't work to compensate for proper technique. I really found this instructional video helpful. Your posting of tabs along with your illustration, calm manner, and good use of brevity to concisely describe the key points of these has been crucial to my maturation as a guitarist this past month.
    As the video started, I was thinking "No way." at 8 minutes in, I was shredding so hard I had to stop the video and spend an hour feeling awesome.
    Please keep up the excellent work. I'll hold onto this lesson for the rest of my life. No joke. It gave me all the key pieces of advice that 20 years out there has failed to provide in acquiring a reliable, even tremolo.
