Dear sir Simon Hello this is deeksha bharath from india (madras).I didn't know much about classical guitar pieces, but when I saw u playing and teaching them....I really got inspired😄. Now I have grown very fond & addictive to ur vedios and I learned to play gran gran vals and Spanish romance too but recardos dè Alhambra was a bit tricky...but with ur slow explaining I learned it very well(NEVER COULD HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT U).u have become my virtual GURU(in SANSKRIT guru means a person who spreads knowledge without any returns or expectations from his students)I m so grateful for having found u on RUclips sir and I am learning a lot from u sir. Even my parents know u, I showed them that ur the one who tought me play such amazing peaceful and soulful songs.my friends in collage see me as a guitar magician ☺.I will remember u forever in my heart sir. Thank you once again for teaching us so patiently and peacefully. U r really fabulous and u r doing a great job. Your's lovingly and faithfully DEEKSHA BHARATH
Hello Deeksha - thank you for your kind comments, it is very satisfying to me to hear of your interest in playing fingerstyle guitar. It as been a life time study for me and it is very gratifying to pass on to others what knowledge I have gained from both studying at music college and attending master classes by some of the greatest players. Recuerdos is a very difficult piece to play so do not be put off as it can take years to play it well. [ I pratice the RH tremolo every day as part of my routine ]. You could look at the studies B minor and D major by Sor that I have done or perhaps the study in A major by Carcassi. These will help to improve your technique. Also check out the guitarists Julian Bream and Andres Segovia both are my favourite classical guitarists. I hope you keep at it as you will have a life time of pleasure from playing and exploring the repertoire of the guitar, I certainly have. Simon
I'm studying the piece right now, after some years. In the many sheets I looked at, the ninth bar is played differently and getting from that one to the tenth is very ackward for me. The way you play it makes a lot of sense. Thanks.
This piece sounds beautiful it brings me peace! I would like to see a tutorial for El Columpio by Francisco Tarrega any chance of that happening? Thank you for your vids! 👍
I writing on the off chance you might notice but did you ever unload the tremelo study you mention in the vid. I'm interested in your method of developing it. Hope your well and I'm as grateful as everyone for you selfless industriousness in the interest of education q🙏👍
It is marked Andante. Julian Bream plys it at about 75bpm Segovia at about 80 and John Williams at a fast 90bpm [ a bit fast in my opinion ]. Best to check out players on RUclips to see how they approach it .
I have been watching and listening to your tutorials and thoroughly enjoy the way you play and teach. I cant seem to find your tutorial on the tremolo technique as used in Recuerdos. I am returning to classical at 64 years old. Whilst I knew all of the piece, my tremolo was never "even" enough to be satisfying to play. Please direct me to your instruction on tremolo practice. I thank you as I am sure thousands do for your generosity in sharing what you have mastered.
I have not done a Tremolo tutorial yet [ that is to come ] but there are many fine tutorials on you tube - I can recommend David Rusells or Pepe Romero fine tutorials. I really could'nt had anything new ,that these fine players have covered.😀
I'm only learning to play this myself so not claiming expertise in any way, only my opinion from how you played in the intro. The tremolo was a constant speed and volume , which added to the feeling that it was being rushed, and my ears get tired trying to keep up since there's no break at all in the constant stream of tremolo, in blunt terms it becomes monotonous at this unchanging rate. From what you played at least, I don't know if anything changes the further in you get. The piece benefits a lot from variations in tremolo speed and volume, I've watched dozens of guitarists videos, the best I can find is Andrea Gonzales Caballero, if you think there's any better performance I've missed please let me know. As I learn this piece, I aim to emulate Andrea's performance as closely as possible, because imo this is how Recuerdos is meant to be played. ruclips.net/video/NiQds8rBLMM/видео.html
I must say I'm more influenced by Bream/Williams/Segovia who do not really vary the Tremolo that much. I must say that I do not like to much rubato as I think it destroys the flow of the tremolo.

Totally agree. I was completely hung up trying to play it with a hinge bar on the 8th fret. Love this guy's attention to alternative fingerings.
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much for your time and effort.
No problem.
This piece sounds beautiful it brings me peace! I would like to see a tutorial for El Columpio by Francisco Tarrega any chance of that happening? Thank you for your vids! 👍
Glad to be of help. I will do more Tarrega shortly.
Thank you very much
It was hard
Yes it is a challenging piece but keep at it.

Only on the tutorial but will be doing a full version shortly [ when my nail grows back ]😂
شكرا ياعم
Thank you
At what speed (bpm) should this piece be played
It is marked Andante. Julian Bream plys it at about 75bpm Segovia at about 80 and John Williams at a fast 90bpm [ a bit fast in my opinion ]. Best to check out players on RUclips to see how they approach it .
Godbless you sir!
