Wow. I remember you from being roommates with my friend Jason in college. We went to some good parties in Chicago back then. Good to see you have a good UA-cam presence. Yr hair was much longer then. Lol
@@brandonacker Hello Blandine,I am learning classical guitar from your video tutorial,Framenco and looking for the way I use skills from those 2 styles to create a style in Fingestyle. You may watch. ua-cam.com/video/u9PUsjFfjhI/v-deo.htmlsi=m0seKWaJtOpJY9ur
ive just recently took up classical guitar and started doing finger exercises, i wanted to learn a classical piece and this lesson was amazing its only been like 15 minutes and ive been able to go all the way through. I love this melody and thank you for teaching me my first classical song.
I play mostly electric but I do have a beautiful, Spanish made classical guitar, which I've always felt I've neglected. But this video... Not only did you inspire me to pick it up but also I learned Malagueña, which I've always wanted to learn. And you did it in like 10 minutes! Incredible, thanks!
This is the best guitar teacher I've come across on the entire fkin internet he's a very nice person and an amazing teacher and ofc an awesome artist, a real one
I really appreciate the music you are using to teach this course, and I also appreciate that you anticipate the issues that your students may have during practicing. Good luck with this style of teaching, and thanks for your innovative ways to keep classical guitar relevant in today’s world.
Brandon, I just wanted to say that I've played guitar for about 15 years now and when I saw you had a course out, I was intimidated by it. I thought there's no way i'm good enough to buy that course. This video has convinced me otherwise. You have made this so easy and accessible, I can guarantee now that I'll buy your course. Thank you for this sample so I can see how you teach!
This is the first piece of music for the classical guitar that I ever learned. That was 15 years ago when I started. Your way of teaching is really gooood.
I cannot wait to learn this!! LOVE your online lessons!!!! Just started practicing the lesson with the “two voices” 👍💖 I’m really taking my time through them and it’s paying off!!
@@brandonacker hey I noticed some of your videos are no longer there like the how to take care of your nails and tremolo part 2 was that due to the course or did UA-cam take them down I found those videos really helpful which is why I'm asking
@@josemartinez4016 Hi, I don't have a video on taking care of your nails but tremolo part 2 was moved to my school's website. It's at: arpeggiato.com/videolessons/
Thank you sir for the tutorials! Your tutorials are amazing and explained very well, as well as the tips that come with them! I've fallen in love with classical guitars (and this channel of course!) , beautiful sound!
Hey you really are a great teacher and I'm glad I came across the video.... I like the way you break it down and go about things.... you definitely Rock and I'm already playing Spanish songs now thanks to you your video made it really easy.... thank you very much and have a blessed one💯
Malaguena is a favorite of mine. Thank you for featuring this in your tutorial. You explain very well - brief yet very clear. Great teacher! Can't wait to learn this piece.
at first i don't expect something fun, but it turns out that it is so fun! I'm so happy to learn this repertoire! I'm actually played it on acoustic guitar & this is my first time learn guitar (don't have any basic actually :')
Ahh, Malaguena was always may favorite piece when learning spanish guitar, I've played the version by Cees Hartog which is a little more involved, but this is also very nice :D
Hey Brandon this is random, there is this pretty piece, is it possible for you to make your own arrangement of Chopin’s nocturne, Op. 9: No. 3 in B major?
Wow it sounds so similar to the intro to “Para un Mártir del Compás.” It’s from a Spanish video game called Blasphemous and it’s what got me into wanting to learn this style of playing.

Hi Brandon, not sure if I should buy this course or not as I feel like I'm a bit above this level, but wouldn't consider myself intermediate either. Any plans to offer a bit more advanced courses? Eventually would love to learn to play your version of Capricho Arabe!
I was confused when I saw s full tutorial for this in only 12 mins. I misunderstood. I thought it was going to be Ernesto Lecuona's Malaguena transcribed to guitar. A literal rite of passage for anyone wanting to pursue flamenco. I have to ask, Brandon, do you offer lessons on the more advanced versions of the Malaguena in the full course?
This is what i was thinking, I respect Brandon's amazing skill but honestly i feel that 240$ for this kind of beginner course is farrrrr too steep, especially since this level could be achieved from youtube or just looking at tabs learning by yourself, for free. I honestly feel that this level is not nearly worth it for beginners and definitely not for others. I'm not sure how early this is in the course but i still dont see how useful this could be.
@@nekuchan900 yeah but all at this level, not very detailed whatsoever, and what you could learn from UA-cam or just finding the tab online, for example the malagueña tab he produced is nothing new, and can be found online, the price tag seems only worth it if it were for a really in depth look at the original malagueña transcription in detail - just my thoughts I don’t think the price tag is worth it
@@hroaldr8791 look at the lessons, he offers tips on how to practice, read music and more. Also you receive some more discounts at othere websites as well as personal feedback. Not for experienced players though, I feel like its difficult to do experienced tutorials online... I personally wouldnt buy it because in my country $200 is a lot... I dont think its that bad though but i guess there are better options from other ytbers.
@@LKonstantina915 I guess so, but most of it can be found online, I know it’s not meant to be for more experienced players but I don’t feel it’s worth it at all for beginners, $200 is a lot in many countries
Yes, exactly. I created it so that someone who has never touched a guitar can start here and play a recital at the end! Many people who have taken it so far had no experience and were happy with the pacing :) There are some reviews and more information here Classicalguitar-pro.com
I am wondering if anyone has had the same experience with concert guitar. I have noticed a stark difference between the compositions that challenge me most on the concert guitar in comparison to the violin. With the violin it was always the fastest an most technical pieces. But with the guitar I have found it much more difficult to master music that often appears jsimple on paper. For example, with Barrios I find pieces like Choro da Saudaude and even Julia Florida more difficult than Las Abejas or La Cathedral. Played casually without attention to each detail they are miserable to hear ( and the emotional requirement is not optional). Listen to someone play these songs like a warm up and they sound boring and generally bad. If you practice only notes and technique you're not learning this type of song. They demand something personal and I don't know how to practice the kind of ...well, to be basically a relationship they demand. romantic era music isn't for chumps and the guitar composers made some of the best music in the genre, which is impressive considering how few they were. Music history would be so easy if you could count all the romantic pianists with your fingers.

Also, those chords are used in Megadeths - Use The Man

Thanks for the tutorial. You are a natural teacher, you make it fun, approachable and demystified . The best tutorial out there
☝️Spoken well by both!
Absolutely!

Hands down the best lesson on a classical guitar piece on youtube.
Well presented Brandon, very clear and concise with humour..and that always helps the concentration !

Performed a variation of maleguena as an ensemble piece, glad to see it's still going strong🤘
Well thats perfect I just started practicing malegueña 3 days ago :))
Brandon thank you breaking it down to very tangible slabs for beginners which makes it really easy to follow - thank you
Malaguena is a favorite of mine. Thank you for featuring this in your tutorial. You explain very well - brief yet very clear. Great teacher! Can't wait to learn this piece.

That is a great lesson! One of the best in you tube I've seen.
i wasnt planning on learning this, but it was so easy with your explanation. Thank you!
I though it would be hard, but i nailed it fast! Thank you
Perfect
Hello and thank you Mr Acker! I am a beginner and will join your guitar Lessons programm!
Perfect 🥰
hi Brandon, thanks for this it's made a beautiful piece easy to play!
Very well explained and showcased. 🙏🌱💜
You play this beautifully, I've learned this with my first instructor but the first measure we played on the 6 and 5th strings.
Thank you, the difficult makes them look easy.
Ahh, Malaguena was always may favorite piece when learning spanish guitar, I've played the version by Cees Hartog which is a little more involved, but this is also very nice :D
So simple, yet... lovely.
Thanks!
I'll play this all day.
Hey Brandon this is random, there is this pretty piece, is it possible for you to make your own arrangement of Chopin’s nocturne, Op. 9: No. 3 in B major?
This would be A W E S O M E
I’ll buy it, we need chopin
Been waiting for this for so so so long thank you so much
As always, your videos are a pleasure
What a beautiful CUBAN song by Lecuona!!!
This is exactly how I learned to play it in 1958 or 1959. Thanks for sharing.
This was great! I was able to play it and i am at a very beginner level.
You sir are a delight, I just found your channel... (just bought me a classical guitar) :)
Bro ur just so majestic
Cool I learned a new song to pluck in 10 minutes thank you
I love your channel and I love the way you teach!
I love this, thanks! Such a good flow, with unlimited improv opportunities.
I Love your online lesson. Thank you!

Seper. Macht richtig Spaß. Danke!
Wow phenomenal - thanks Brandon 🔥
Huge thanks for this great lesson ❤️
Only if you can show more closely where and how you press the cords, apology I am very new to this but I LOVE IT!
Love this, I can also play this arrangement with a baritone ukulele 🥰
I used to use this piece as a guitar practice exercise, though I played it an octave lower, and I'm not a classical guitarist :)
now I will be waiting for your asturias, it would be really good too hear it from you, really good work on this one, thanks brandon :>
Wow it sounds so similar to the intro to “Para un Mártir del Compás.” It’s from a Spanish video game called Blasphemous and it’s what got me into wanting to learn this style of playing.
this was one of my pieces for my g1 guitar exam
very nice to follow , easy learning, ❤🙏🙂
Would love to hear you play some classic banjo, there’s a very similar tone on the old style banjos
Great approach to get the bass notes addressed first.
Love your content ..it is very helpful 👌🏻 thanks so much
Enjoyed your lesson
Hey Brandon, this lesson is really great! Thanks
Thank You ❤
I’ll be practicing
Fantastic music!
Awesome❤ listened to the whole lesson and now I'm going to practice on my acoustic git😅
Amazing Brandon. Thankyou
Viva Malaga!

Love to be here but I've got commitments at that time... ;)
Bravo!

my guitar teacher taught us the whole thing and ive mastered it
Bravo bravooo 👏👏👏
Thanks!
Classical guitarists' right hands always looks like they belong on a vampire, lmao.
Loved this tutorial now maybe albeniz suite espanola tutorial please :)
Super Film ! :)
E to Fmaj7#11 is my favorite 1 to bMaj 2 when playing in Phrygian Dominant. it sounds so cool.
Good instructions Brandon
Tank you Brandon 🙏❤️
Wow I didn't expect this to be so playable. I'm sure my technique is awful but it took maybe 15 minutes to 'get'.
Ti adoro!
Super cool 😎
Great instructor
Lovely tune and easy to follow, not only for harp players ;+)

TKS
Roy Clark would be proud
Bacana. Muito bacana!
Everybody that teaches this tune always teach the same opening without going into other parts of Malaguena.
This is a beginner lesson.
Is this course for an absolute beginner? That is someone with 0 hours at the guitar or do you have to have some basics in place already?
