To be completely honest he doesn't have shit on Sam. His covers are less on point and his prices for his work are totally overpriced, which is why he doesn't even have 1/6 of the Patreon subs ;)
@@milkmeapollo9048 I've been listening to BTG's podcast. He loves Sam's work. In my opinion, he is also an excellent classical guitarist who uses that knowledge for expert arrangements.
I went from classical nylon string as a kid to electric as a teen to steel string acoustic as an adult. I guess that must by why I'm so hip and down with the youth. I'm actually aging backwards!
I've always wanted to play guitar my whole life. I just assumed assumed it would be something that wouldn't happen. Over the past couple of years my taste in music has actually shifted from rock to classical similar to how to described how people start playing from electric to classical haha With a bit of context out of the way, I recently just earned my masters degree (which believe me is a miracle for me lol) and it's opened my mind to trying new things. All these things I "would never be able to do" are being questioned now. Why the hell not?? F it. I just bought my first guitar ever at 33. Classical of course. Lessons begin next week. Time to start knocking some of these "impossibles" off my list! You were a big motivator in that bro. Suck to sick here I come!
I play both electric and classical (intermediate at both i guess) . I use electric when i want to learn a nice melody that goes well with distortion or overdrive , classical for everything else. Man that fingerstyle technique is such a nice thing
Number six got me lmfaooo. I am so in love with both rock climbing and fingerstyle guitar that I've been forced to try out Alaskan finger picks. But now cause of the pandemic all the climbing gyms are closed so I've been able to go full long nail goblin mode. Feels good to be back
It has so much carry over to other genres, I was practicing shred licks daily and not getting anywhere, gave up on them and played exclusively classical, came back to shred licks later and I was faster and smoother than last time
2:50 i like having one guitar of pretty much each "type". for instance, i have a classical, a steel sting (6 string) acoustic, a 12 string acoustic, a 6 string electric that i use quite often and a 7 string that ill bring out every once in a while. i like having the options.
3 years ago i started playing classical guitar now i'm a professional flamenco guitarist and can almost play anything (I'm learning "entre dos aguas" now)💃
Haha hes spot on about the path of maturity. I progressed from metal, to math rock, to indie acoustic. Now i write songs. And my insides are screaming classical guitar. Its the best way to get better. And after you learned it. Go back to play those other genres. Bam l! Your much better now. Whats that you can sing too? Whaat you learned THAT from classical guitar? 👏 my man.
I have to say, I've learned a lot in this video. The words that really stuck with me were: "If the container is larger than your guitar, then you can take the guitar with you." I feel like this is so important to understand in today's society. As an airline pilot, in particular, it seems like several people don't understand that the container is smaller than most of the mattress sized guitars that they try to bring on board, but I am certain 100% that if they saw this video, they would understand that they cannot bring their guitars because the container is too small. Also, if anyone needs a reference to what I'm talking about, or still has questions, feel free to view 0:34 for more information.
I suck, thank you sam😂 “Play the classical guitar - it sounds like a summer breeze, waterfall, and kinda cosmic.” - Sam 2020 - I’m stealing this quote😅
But forreal, made the migration from typical electric to flatwound hollow body to classical and never want to play anything else. The resonance is like a purring harmonic cat on your lap. Plus a wider bridge greatly expands possibilities for multi finger speed and dexterity.
My first guitar was an acoustique guitar It's actually my dad's guitar But i really started and learned to play on my classical guitar And i'm enjoying it because it's a good exercise for the hand and i like playing it
I played classical guitar from 8 to 10. And then quitted because it sucked. I started playing electric guitar then at 14 or so and it was sick. Insanely fun. I even played in a metal band with my brother. Sadly finding reliable band mates is impossible. So me and brother quitted that band project after about 5 other band mates quitted because they didn't want to commit to a weekly rehearsal session. So I went back to classical guitar at 24. I then realized that when I was 8 it was not classical guitar that sucked. It was me (and my teacher).
True in every point, but there is yet another step in evolution. One more step to upgrade from classical guitar so to say: flamenco guitar It combines the best instrument with the best music. Fact.
Bro! after I found your videos and started getting into playing your classical ff covers you inspired me and I went out and bought a classical guitar. I'm all metal and I'm glad I'm practicing this awesome new genre. Opening up a new world of guitar oo baby

I actually want to sell my steel string Martin for an Yamaha classical. I want to learn a lot of anime songs. They sound so beautiful and all that finger space is to die for
I play football and I'm a goalkeeper. I always use gloves reinforced with metal sticks on the fingers and, every time my friends wear them and they have trouble holding the ball, they ask me: "Why do you use gloves that are so hard?" Guess why, guys 😁
0:49 shit....i feel called out. I live with my only friends. My partner, and several guitars and banjo. I attracted a man with my guitar. When my power goes out, i win with acoustic.

LOL Sam has side dots, not classy XD
ur talking to a dude who’s actual youtube icon is a pic of him being birthed by his guitar.

Woah dude! You can see into the present?!
I had zoned out and then he said "Are you listening?" and caught my attention.

Lol this guy is hilarious
A really strange humor, which provokes real laughter
Unlike davie
@@fv8399 correct
A man in a mullet just taught me the path to maturity.
This guy gives me major Theo Von vibes. It's not just the hair, his oddball sense of humor, sound of voice and way of delivering words are all very similar.
Another legit perk is that there's no risk of hearing damage. I guarantee you nobody is getting tinnitus from a classical guitar concert.

Haha what a great thumbnail
Girls love the thumbnails.
4:53 - I have to admit, I do like playing classical because of the "hugging". It feels oddly comforting :D
"Girls LOVE long nails on guys." Hahahaha
Yes please
And now we know why all the ladies love Freddy Krueger.
You forgot save 15 percent on your car insurance by switching to classical guitar
"Woah, those nails are so cool! What are they for?" - That's totally what they're thinking.

With a little gear, he’d be a great roadhouse villain.

It looks like you'll get challenged by Davie
Davie don't stand a chance
Pfft davie doesnt stand a chance. Funny guy though.
Psh, who asked this PROFESSIONAL musical savant for his INFORMED opinion?
This dudes HOT and SPICY opinions on classical guitar make me HOT and HORNY
Lmao
Easily one of the most underrated channels on youtube.
Alright Sam, you convinced me. I bought a classical guitar on Friday to accommodate my life of solitude.
The path to maturity point is actually spot on. My classical guitar teacher also confirmed it without hesitation.
I went from classical to steel to electric. Now I know why my playing has devolved over the years.
Why would anyone go to steel from classical lol
@@papermario1543 why wouldn’t they? I’m getting a guitar but not sure which to pick, although I love the sound of the classical.
All comes down to what music you like best👍
from classical to electric is like regress lmao
I went from Electric to Piano to Classical!!haha fun
I get so excited when I see Sam upload content that is off beat from the norm. He's pretty funny.
I love the covers though, don't stop doin that haha.

I play both electric and classical (intermediate at both i guess) . I use electric when i want to learn a nice melody that goes well with distortion or overdrive , classical for everything else. Man that fingerstyle technique is such a nice thing
Holy CRAP... I'M GETTING MATURE, I'm going from electric.. TO CLASSICAL, I'M ON THE SECOND STEP RN
I've been playing guitar for over 20 years now. I never even thought about playing classical guitar until now. You are beast. Keep it up

Great timing, delivery, and understanding of physical hilarity. Well done, you're funnier than most comedians

3:59 Really? I actually did. Is that why everyone tells me I'm so immature?
Am I the only one to see this GIGANTIC HAIR right under your nose Bro ?!
I have to say that you have an amazing talent for videography.I mean the video looks really professional
The part of the girls liking the long nails killed me haha

lol as much as I love heavy metal and rock and funk and everything electric.... classical guitar also holds my number one spot for favorite instrument

And the evolution for every virtuoso on youtube is the path of comedy. You are getting there my bro and you are a riot.
Love the thumbnail already 😄
You're selling that mullet hard bro. I used to have one. Now I have a bald spot.
I don't play classical guitar but I put my electric on my left leg. Do I get any cool points?
There is ONE WILD MUSTACHE HAIR
dude that one hair on your stache lol
So when will you upload a video about fingernail shaping and tone creating?
My first guitar was an acoustique guitar
It's actually my dad's guitar
But i really started and learned to play on my classical guitar

It combines the best instrument with the best music. Fact.
Your fact is 100% your opinion 0% fact.
No hate tho, I love flamenco guitar (except the singing)
I'm your friend, bro. We only hung out for that interview but we're bros, bro.
I agree
Electric to classical
I love classical tone
Bro! after I found your videos and started getting into playing your classical ff covers you inspired me and I went out and bought a classical guitar. I'm all metal and I'm glad I'm practicing this awesome new genre. Opening up a new world of guitar oo baby
Hah, the path of maturity, after 13 years I only just reached classical stage last month!
I have to send this to my friends, maybe they will understand my choice of my instrument hahah

Here is The Full Path of Maturity

this is absolute TOP
the way you mix classical guitar with a modern take on it its just superb
I actually want to sell my steel string Martin for an Yamaha classical. I want to learn a lot of anime songs. They sound so beautiful and all that finger space is to die for
You say NO INJURIES, but we have to stretch our left hand until it rips off, before we are able to play your tabs.
Love the videos, btw.
4:55 is that Eliminate? XD
i have a wart under my right thumb nail and it's painful if I press on it. can I still play classical guitar?
I especially enjoyed the sick 360 no scope chair spin

Oh god oh frick I started with classical now I'm an old man
Gotta argue on point 12, i started on classical, then to resonator, moved to electric, and currently waiting for a steel string acoustic...
The camera switches lol
0:49 shit....i feel called out. I live with my only friends. My partner, and several guitars and banjo. I attracted a man with my guitar. When my power goes out, i win with acoustic.
This is why you switch the bell icon to "all" folks
How do i get tabs to this?!?
Just ordered my first classical guitar earlier. Good timing.
The mullet amplifies his hilarity but without electricity so its safe
was not prepared for how abruptly he said "peace out bro"
Fender stratocaster blehg stranberg Boden 8 has a 18% electrocution rate
I went from classical to electric. Started out with the trusty Frederick Noad book.
Cool that you can play classical guitar, but can you play wonderwall on the TLoU2 guitar minigame?
Left Leggin' It from now on
this is video is reverbing with my soul
I once plugged a guitar into a computer back in 2003. I actually did get zapped. Not sure how or why
So what do you recommend? Alahambra 3c or 2f?
I know 2f is a flamenco just wondering if you can play classical songs on a flamenco?
