    She’s a perfectionist and extremely disciplined from her days taking ballet and attending a prestigious dance academy. Her concerts are literally a production and always great! I don’t own many of her records but I’ll see her in concert because she puts on artistic amazing shows. I’m not surprised she continued improving her guitar skills. Like her or not she personifies hard work and determination.

    I give Madonna a lot of credit, for improving upon her talent and in learning to play the guitar. She really was self taught in singing and dancing in the beginning, and is always reinventing herself. The older you get, the harder it is to learn to do anything. Especially for scatter brained individuals. So it's a real commitment to learn anything new. Nice song. Thanks for sharing . It sounds alott better when you play that song. I like accoustic versions of many songs

    • @realmofthesenses

      Madonna may have been selftaught in singing and guitar playing at first. However, in her Detroit youth she had piano- and balletlessons. After graduating high school in January 1976, she received a dance scholarship to the University of Michigan and studied over the summer at the American Dance Festival in Durham, North Carolina. In 1978 she left for New York, took classes at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, She also studied dance under the tutelage of the noted American dancer and choreographer Martha Graham.

    ❤️ Another great video. Loving this channel! And btw of COURSE some people commented that Madonna was miming playing the guitar to a backing track… Another example of how so many people are absolutely champing at the bit to discredit her skills and talent. There are obviously far more people who enjoy her work, but these curmudgeons who refuse to believe a woman in pop music is genuinely engaged in being a musician and a singer-songwriter, despite the mountains of evidence to prove it. I’d like to say it’s baffling but unfortunately their bias is pretty transparent.

  • @freespiritwithnature4384
    @freespiritwithnature4384 3 года назад +3

    I do have to say that I don’t think we can appreciate how much work goes into an entire live show. When I began playing acoustic guitar I just taught myself but I was tight , and rigid as well and only 14 . I went from a Takamine to an Ovation . I chose Takemine because I couldn’t play the ovation around the campfire. With a small bowl it would have to be plugged in , and it’s really hard to find a tree outlet 😂 . I was picked out of a crowd a few yrs ago on the spot . I’d pay for that pic lol ,just to see the look on my face because I didn’t expect it . 😬 I’m just more comfortable around a campfire with my guitar .I have a great appreciation for what musicians do night after night . I appreciate musicians in a whole different light.I used to work in TV during University behind the scenes,running camera 1 or 2 , but a whole different ballgame being on stage. 😜
    The adulation is nice ,especially when so much work is put into your performance. It’s so true, when I began to play I used to look at my hand or keep my fingers on the chords .

  • @chrisgmurray3622

    I seem to remember seeing, in a doco about Madonna, that she "played" guitar (electric) in some of her early punk/new wave performances in the underground club scene of those days before she achieved fame.Mind you, this could have been basic fifth voicing ala punk du hour or even just guitar posing for stage effect. Either way she may not have played seriously, but was definitely not new to guitar in the clip you showed earlier.

    awesome Fil and so cool to see a huge pop star learning an instrument.One of the problems I still have is picking between cord changes to fill in the sound, for some reason it has always been difficult for me and it is so necessary for a song to sound right, but on certain songs I can do it better , like "Sweet Home Alabama", but a song like "Yesterday" I find it so hard to fill in the short time between cord changes in the intro, a strange hangup I have.

    least one of these deserves and would be an ideal analysis I think you would agree and for showing how they play.their instruments.
    Chet Atkins is incredible and ideal for analysis.

    @danr5105 3 года назад +1

    I have seen both of these clips multiple times. I was hoping we got to see Madonna play "Don't Tell Me" fingerstyle.Getting fingers,hands,brain to connect for fingerstyle is quite the challenge. I am going to say Madonna was at least 6 months in for the Letterman performance (could be 18 months.) Then we have the 4 years since the Letterman performance. So, second performance is min 4.5 years in and you know she had an instructor whenever and for as long as she wanted. This is not saying there were not many,many "alone" practice sessions. So much practice needed but I guess never alone could happen. I comment on guitar size. Madonna is playing a full width full top size dreadnought size guitar. I have always felt this size quitar does not photograph well, it overwhelms the person playing. No need for the size to get the sound, no need at all. Better is the smaller (000 in Martin speak,concert,auditorium 3/4 in Yamaha speak) body size and then the smaller width (John Mayer plays an 000-28 Martin and he is 6'3".) Check a video of Taylor Smith playing her full size acoustic guitar. It is like someone needs to tell her her underwear is showing (guitar is too big for her.) Thanks Fil.

      She started out on drums, drumming to Elvis Costello records. Madonna has a very good ear and though she was late to guitar, much like me she sings melodies and then has her collaborator figure out the chords. It's still composing and it still takes good musical sensibility to do. She also recorded most of her vocals in one or two takes, and the isolated vocals sound good, and they were on DAT not autotuned. Her collaborators all comment on how good her musical instincts are and that her contributions to her own songs is always substantial.

      I'm 62. I started playing at 14 but never got past strumming chords and doing a bit of finger picking. Gave it up for one reason or another but discovered some excellent teachers on youtube during lockdown and I'm really happy with my progress. Why do it? Because it's fun and gives me a sense of accomplishment.
