I just want to take a moment , to appreciate this man he is not only give full lessons on UA-cam , he also holds humility by how he holds his guitar. Thank you 😊
Once again I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to help us aspiring guitar players , I am 88years you got and you have given the motivation to keep going with my dream of playing this music your videos are so inspiring .thank you
Hi Simon, Glad I found you. I achieved grade 6 (Trinity Collage of Music) 15 years ago but after my tutor passed away I couldn't find anyone else locally and with a lot happening in my life couldn't find the time to keep it up. I now can't remember anything at all but have retired and have just started picking my guitar up and have started with 3 of your pieces. Thank you so much and keep up the good work. Regards Ian.
@@ophiolatreia93 of course is worth, a teacher can be very useful at taking you to a good level in shorter than reinventing the wheel. If you just want to be a campfire musician, then is fine. There is a humanizing aspect when you have the right teacher
@@javiercisternasnajle I've played for 25 years without a single lesson. Sure it takes longer to learn things, but if you discover them yourself you gain a deeper understanding of the instrument. Its also great to train your ear to figure songs out by simply listening to it. Even if you want to cheat (which is completely okay) and take lessons or use literature aid, there are so many free videos and material online nowadays that paying for private lessons would be a waste of money. Maybe a masterclass if you are an advanced player could help with musicality or little tweaks, but most of the beginner/intermediate stuff can be had for free online. But it all depends on each individual, and having a friend to guide and motivate you can be helpful for a lot of people, esp if you have the money to pay for that companionship.
Simon was my first classical guitar teacher who I studied with for 2 years, which led to an amazing life-long career as a professional classical guitarist which has lasted 40 years now..thankyou Simon..I will never forget studying this piece and many others with you in those early years..I was truly blessed to have had such an encouraging and fine teacher..all the very best to you..Andrew
Wow! best tutorial on youtube straight to the point and easy to follow. Glad I found this channel. I can now play the first section and I'm now looking forward to part two.
Simon, this is great! Took 10 years of lessons ages ago and lost almost all of my repertoire. you are helping a great deal to get it back. Thanks so much
Simon, I am 60 years old and started playing classical guitar recently. I happened across your youtube videos and I am now teaching myself to play Asturias based on your instruction, thank you for helping this older student. This is fun! Thank you William H.
estaba buscando la tablatura original de Isaac Albeniz, pero miraba muchas versiones diferentes y no sabia cual aprender, hasta que lo encontre a usted maestro. Gracias muchas gracias por compartir tu talento en la enseñanza y tambien por compartir la tablatura para un mejor aprendizaje.
🇵🇭🇵🇭 I've been playing guitar for 5 years had rock n roll influences and fingerstyles now I'm turning 21 and this is one the best classical masterpiece I had ever seen. I wanted to develop my guitar skills and saw this in social media played by many and MOSTLY European and South American guitar players who learned classic and flamenco guitar like Marcin. Seeing this vid expanded my point of view in guitar, I get along from the start of the vid and totally playing right and at 12:50 it's pretty more challenging. Wish me luck to finish this masterpiece #keepgoing
I've been playing guitar for around 60 years, mainly finger-picking blues. Now, inspired by my grandson, I am attempting to learn this wonderful piece on my old Yamaha FG200. I doubt I will be able to get my wrist in the right place, but thanks to your excellent tutorial I am enjoying trying! Very many thanks for your time and trouble. It really makes a difference.
Espero que disfrutes aprendiendo esta hermosa pieza musical. Si tiene algún problema o necesita ayuda, no dude en ponerse en contacto conmigo. Disculpe mi español.
I watched many youtubers teaching just first part free and other parts by paying. You are a true generous person who covered all parts with detailed techniques without asking for money. Two years ago when i listened this piece, i fantasized this tune and i was like when i will be that much expert to just start thinking of learning it. And a week ago, finally i took courage and started watching your video, and today i have covered this first part in slow speed. I just wanted to thank you for your time and generosity. God bless you. ☺
Thank you for your kind comments. I hope you continue to learn this piece but please take your time and be patient, it can take months for your fingers to gain strength and stamina to play this section.
Great to chat with you again Maestro. I would love to come hang out with you at some point. My budget has now increased to around 4 k with help of finance lol. Once I have committed and broke myself back in I will get in touch. Good health to you.
Your videos are priceless. The amount of wisdom and hints and tips you offer up for free is truly remarkable in today's world. I fully appreciate the value of your time and effort and thank you for it.
Thank you! Your for-parts tutorial is the most thorough and comprehensive I could find in the net. Being a hobbist I consider your lessons as those that provide a real way for a non-professional guy to overcome the challenging difficulties of the piece. Thanks!!!
Thank you so for your patience ,and taking the time to show us how to tackle this lovely piece of music ,it is somthing I never thought I would be able to attempt in my wildest dreams. 🙏🏼
Only to pleased to help. Please take your time in learning this piece as it is a difficult piece of music both from a technical and interpretative aspect. The 2nd section can be difficult for the LH fingers so do lots of practice but in short amounts and if the fingers become painful or tired rest the hand. Eventually you will be able to play this piece.

@@boltonguitarstudio3115 haha I love you sir. Thank you for making me smile! (P.s I'm on the 9th measure of this song now thanks to you, thank you again 🙏)
muy agradecido por magistrales clases con la genialidad y paciencia de sus explicaciones tan profundas y claras de digitacion formas y musicalidad de llegar a alumnos que empezamos y tratamos de comprender el camino de la guitarra clasica ....gracias maestro
Big thank you for taking the time to upload these tutorial videos. Very much appreciated & absolutely excellent understandable tuition delivered in layman's term. Thank You very much. 👍
Nice one Simon thanks! You’ve cleared a lot of stuff up there,! I was trying to double stop and bar those notes on the seventh fret, but I see they just have to be played individually! Also I was trying to use all fingers, when simply thumb and ‘I’ is a lot more powerful...and easier!
@@boltonguitarstudio3115 You're a great teacher! It may take some time for me to get comfortable playing it. Do you have an instagram so I can tag you once I've learnt it?
This is the third tutorial I've looked at for this and I'd say it's best for two reasons. Firstly, pace, it's not too slow and it's not too quick. Secondly you shoe the melody minus the 1st and 2nd string additions. Of course they have to be there, but while you're getting the melody right they can be set aside to be picked up later. Thanks!
Yes those two bars never sounded good to me even when Segovia played them. You can thank John Williams for that fingering - be sure to keep the 2nd finger down on the 2nd string to make the position shift smooth with plenty of slow practice needed.
I was wondering how you're resonating B sounded so smooth and fluid, brilliant descrpition on the alternate picking technique. Thank you for the lesson good Sir.
First of all, thank you so much for this tutorial Simon. I can’t stress enough how deeply grateful I am for you taking the time to divide this lesson in manageable chunks. It really means the world to me, because it was my youthful dream to become a classical guitar player, but for circumstances of life, my dream got delayed, and I can’t find a teacher where destiny put me. Second, I have a question; how is it called the technique used to play this piece on the right hand? Is there a name for that technique? Third, would you recommend pieces that require that right hand technique please? Once again, thank you so much in advance. I became a subscriber of your channel just because of this tutorial. I’m madly in love with this piece, and this tutorial showed me how to master it. Thank you, thank you,THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your kind comments. Re techniques if you mean bars 17 to 24 you are playing an arpeggio. There are many pieces that use this technique . I would recommend Giuliani's 120 right hand arpeggios Op1a. I have practiced these daily for the past 40+ years [ great for warming-up the fingers ar the beginning of a practice session. Also pieces by Aguado, Sor , Guiliani, Carcassi will help to develop this technique. But get the Op1 of Guiliani, you will not regret it. Simon
Thank you for taking the time to answer my comment. Once again, deeply grateful for your time and effort. It just seems to me, maybe because I'm a neophyte in the classical guitar arena, but it seems that the right hand technique used in this piece creates the ilusion of playing two guitars. One doing the accompaniment and the other making the melody. It is a remarkable technique that I've always envied, and thanks to you, I'm learning it. Kinda mastered the first 3 bars. Being extra demanding with myself while playing the arpeggio. I want to learn it the right way, so I'm trying to use index, and middle to play the B string. I can tell that you've been quite a long time in this road. You play this piece effortlesly. I wish one day to be at the shadow of your heels music wise. Thank you for the musical suggestions. I'll look into it as soon as I'm finished with your Asturias' tutorial. I'm just absolutely, passionately drawn to the complexity of this piece. Cheers.
I am a great fan of this music. I heard this music before five years ago. From that time I was keen to play this music. I saw lots of videos of Asturias but I couldn’t play from those videos. This music is really hard to play but You are amazing tutor sir because from your teaching style I can also easily play this music. I am really thankful to you sir.
Simon... I just subscribed to your channel. This is an awesome lesson, broken down nicely. I wish you and I lived closer to one another; I'd certainly take lessons from you! Thanks for sharing your classical guitar skills, it's GREATLY appreciated! Oh, and the tabs are much appreciated as well!
The best wau is to practice slowly and build up ths speed gradually. Also practice your scale with alternate fingers, I would also recommend studying the Giuliani Op1 right hand arpeggios.
You need to strengthen the little finger by practicing scales and slur exercises, may be some stretching exercises for the LH but never over do this . It takes time so lots of slow practice and patience . This is a virtuoso piece so take it in stages you cannot rush this type of piece.
@@boltonguitarstudio3115 pls let me explain my problem deeply, when I start that part, nail of my pinky touches nearby string and i cut them regularly, so the nail is really short and I dont understand why it touches, maybe i cant stretch enough. And I began guitar like 7 months ago, so is it possible for me to play this piece? because i really want to play this epic piece. Thank you in advance.
You can play it either way. I play it as a rasguado [ eami ] with the back of the nails flamenco style but you can play it with the thumb if you like that sound.
Dear Sir , first of all let me thank you for all your classical guitar lessons and music sheets from your website.I would like to know what is the level of playing required to learn this amazing piece of music ..I am at an intermediate level, I can play the Romanza, adelita etc.. I would like to start learning Asturias next, but unsure if it's beyond my level .
It is a difficult piece so you would have to be grade 7 - 8 although you should manage the first 24 bars with a little practice. I would leave this piece for the moment and spend some time on easier pieces such as the Sor studies may be Villa Lobos study no 1 etc. You need a pretty good bar chord technique for Asturias as the left hand starts to tire, but if you feel confident have a go. Good luck.
Muy bueno!! solo faltaría la partitura o tablatura para ubicarse mejor en la guitarra. Abrazo desde Argentina. ☀Very good!! only the score or tablature would be missing to better position yourself on the guitar. Hug from Argentina. ☀🇦🇷
Puede obtener las pestañas gratis desde mi sitio web www.boltonguitar.co.uk Saludos desde el Reino Unido. Espero que usted y su familia se mantengan saludables en estos tiempos inusuales, y que la gente de Argentina lo supere bien. Simón Sorry for my poor spanish.

The best wau is to practice slowly and build up ths speed gradually. Also practice your scale with alternate fingers, I would also recommend studying the Giuliani Op1 right hand arpeggios.
Great lessons! Please do a lesson on Air on the G String.
Yes shortly.
The part that begins 11:15 is big challenge to me, because of my pinky, how can i fix it plsss?
You need to strengthen the little finger by practicing scales and slur exercises, may be some stretching exercises for the LH but never over do this . It takes time so lots of slow practice and patience . This is a virtuoso piece so take it in stages you cannot rush this type of piece.
@@boltonguitarstudio3115 Thank you, master. I will do what you said.
@@boltonguitarstudio3115 pls let me explain my problem deeply, when I start that part, nail of my pinky touches nearby string and i cut them regularly, so the nail is really short and I dont understand why it touches, maybe i cant stretch enough. And I began guitar like 7 months ago, so is it possible for me to play this piece? because i really want to play this epic piece. Thank you in advance.
magical! Sir!
Thank you glad to be help.
excellent tuto
Thank you.
Simon Request tutorial guitar Tango Isaac Albeniz thanks
I'll check it out!
thank you a lot . i was waiting for a long time for this tutorial )
A pleasure - I hope this helps you to play this great piece of music.
Should I use P on the RH to strum the barre chords? I've kinda gotten used to the back of my nails on IMA
You can play it either way. I play it as a rasguado [ eami ] with the back of the nails flamenco style but you can play it with the thumb if you like that sound.
Dear Sir , first of all let me thank you for all your classical guitar lessons and music sheets from your website.I would like to know what is the level of playing required to learn this amazing piece of music ..I am at an intermediate level, I can play the Romanza, adelita etc.. I would like to start learning Asturias next, but unsure if it's beyond my level .
It is a difficult piece so you would have to be grade 7 - 8 although you should manage the first 24 bars with a little practice. I would leave this piece for the moment and spend some time on easier pieces such as the Sor studies may be Villa Lobos study no 1 etc. You need a pretty good bar chord technique for Asturias as the left hand starts to tire, but if you feel confident have a go. Good luck.
Thank you for your response. I will work on a different piece of music and revisit Asturias at a later stage.
gracias maestro
Gracias, estoy encantado de ayudar a mis compañeros guiaristas.
Muy bueno!! solo faltaría la partitura o tablatura para ubicarse mejor en la guitarra. Abrazo desde Argentina. ☀Very good!! only the score or tablature would be missing to better position yourself on the guitar. Hug from Argentina. ☀🇦🇷
