Thanks much for the kind comment, musorad! I appreciate it! I am glad to know that these videos are helping players like yourself! :) All the best, Jason
Hi Christopher -I am so glad to know that this video is helpful to you! Slowly is always the best way to learn new pieces! :) All the best to you as you progress! -jason
Thanks for the comment, TheSamnashgames. Hope your performance went well for the exam! :) I love this piece and for me, the tempo of 76-80 bpm seems to work well. Allegretto is closer to Allegro which is fast. All in all, I choose tempos and fingerings, etc. that I feel make the music sound good. Thanks for watching my video! All the best, Jason
Thank you so much for the encouraging words, ideraldoluissantos! I have a lot of Villa-Lobos that I hope to record in the coming weeks! I also enjoy Barrios and others! Check out my website for FREE guitar resources! All the best to you! Jason
Yes, you are correct. There is no grace note in the first full measure. I've heard Giuliani's pieces played over the years with a variety of embellishments. Perhaps a grace note would sound great in the first full measure! :) Thanks for your comments! Jason
my transcription of this also has the B and D's mentioned by jeff, but i have to say i prefer your arrangement and delivery, i'm going to alter my transcript :) thanks for the upload
Thank you, mohammed11088, for your kind words. I hope to post many more videos to help students (just need to find some extra time). All the best to you! Jason
Thanks for your question! I play a German Hauser classical guitar designed after Segovia's favorite guitar. Spanish Cedar neck, rosewood back and sides, ebony fretboard, David Rogers tuners. I use D'Addario J31 strings (Hard tension). All the best! Jason
In the first full measure it sounds like you don't play a grace note. Is that how it is in the edition you used? Sorry to hassle you about this, just curious.
The sheet music I've got is different in the 9th measure; the upper voice dotted quarter is a B and the two eighth notes are Ds, instead of all Cs. Don't get me wrong I the arrangement you're using better... :D
In my ABRSM book, I am playing this piece for grade 3. In the book, it says that the tempo is 58 dotted quarter notes per minute. How fast would that be? What temp did you play it at? Thanks :)
+Siddharth Shende Thanks for watching and commenting! To answer your questions, 58 bpm (beats per minute) would equal almost one beat per second. Reference a watch or phone with a seconds feature (or better yet, check your metronome at 58 bpm). I performed this piece a little more quickly....closer to 80 bpm so it could be slowed down considerably to equal the suggested tempo in the ABRSM book. I often take freedom with my performances and play music at the tempos where I think they sound best. Hope this helps a little! All the best -jason
+Siddharth Shende Sorry for the tardy reply here.....I'll see if I can answer as clearly as I can. The 58 dotted quarter notes per minute is the tempo of the piece in compound time. This piece has a compound time signature meaning that the unit (i.e., the beat) will always have a dot. In this case, the dot is on the quarter note and there are divisions of three eighth notes for every dotted quarter. There is no need to count "quarter" notes. Therefore, 58 dotted quarter notes per minute would equal exactly that.....58 beats per minute. I trust this makes some sense. If not, please write again and I'll try a different angle of explanation :) All the best to you! -jason
Thanks for your question Umano CAE. I probably should have stopped the E, A, and D strings when needed, but for my beginning/intermediate students, that would be a quite a challenge. All the best -Jason
@@jasonwerkema it would be nice to hear a version where the basses are stopped anyway. i am trying to master that technique and it is difficult to understand the right balance between stopping "too much" (thus getting a rather stompy output) or "too little" (which gives something similar to what you have here). Regards.
Thanks much for the compliment! I'm so glad to be able to share this music with you!
I really, really enjoyed this performance. Going to try to learn this piece. Thank you.

Beautiful piece, congratulations on you recorded it!! I wonder if you have any Brazilian music that you like.

I was recently playing this for my grade 3 exam and I understand its meant to be much slower the speed is one crotchet = 58

Jason Werkema I'm not sure I said it right. But it was 58 DOTTED QUARTER NOTES PER MINUTE. How many quarter notes per minute would that be?

Where can I get the tabs for this?
Hi Emily -I'm sorry, but I do not have the tabs for this. All the best to you. Jason
Sounds difficult...hopes it is not ... just learning it now..
Awesome that you are learning this piece, Andrew! Hope my video is helpful to you! All the best!
Thanks, I meant
Thank you, now i can get at least merit for my grade 3 exam! ;-D
Don't stop bass?

@@michelezito7656 -thanks for watching and commenting! Greatly appreciated! There is definitely wisdom in stopping bass notes when needed. jason
